Ted The Mechanic |
Playing pool and drinking beer |
Nothin more’n the |
occasional tear |
But this man’s life goes on |
and he gets |
greased all over |
from time to time |
At the strip joint, where we met |
He said 'Hi, my name is Ted |
See that one over there |
That ball of thunder |
Every time she goes Vavoom, |
I wiggle in my chair |
Can I buy you a beer? |
What a guy |
'I've had a few myself' he said |
'But I never quit when I’m ahead |
Too many rules and regulations |
Stupid laws designed by fools behind closed doors |
And another thing I won’t discuss is religion |
It always causes a fight |
Vavoom |
There she goes again |
'How does she do that' said Ted |
And he told me |
of those unjustices (that) |
He had suffered in his life |
His wife and kids |
and boss and dogs |
and neighbours |
Raising cain and causing strife |
They were forever whining |
Bleating howling yapping screeching moaning crying |
Vavoom |
He fed them well |
He keep them warm |
Thing about Ted |
he didn’t really care |
Nothing much got in his hair |
and the beauty of it was |
that he was right |
He was big as a truck |
and fast as a door |
(what's that?) |
he was always right |
The banjo player took a hike |
What’s that song |
I used to like |
Vavoom |
He was big as a truck |
Fast as a door — Ted |
Ted the man our Ted |
