Oh yeah |
I can’t seem to open my eyes |
But I must get out of this bed |
'Cause the phone keeps ringing downstairs |
And I know that this ain’t no place for a sleepy head |
I go down to my chest, oh yeah! |
Put on my old string vest |
Swing it on, babe |
Well I feel like I’m in need so I go back up for a smoke |
And then I slip back in my easy chair then I give my lucky dog a stroke |
Well he just gives me a wink and I know what that mean now |
Well it mean that I need to put on his lead |
If I don’t want a mess on my cheap pan |
That’s cool 'cause I know I can trust him |
To grab the fuzz if they bust in |
Get him, boy, oh yeah |
Well what does it take to make a jelly roll? |
Who can you sell? |
When I wake up to a grey day |
How do I slip away so easily? |
Oh! |
Baby! |
Baby! |
Well I feel too old to get a hair cut |
And I ain’t had a shave in months |
Now when I don’t go out, I keep my door shut |
And I get on back to good old Beckton Dumps |
Drowning, now warn you |
I’ll be right back |
I won’t go there |
