Egg & Daughter Nite, Lincoln Nebraska, 1967 (Crazy Bone) |
If you like your apples sweet |
And your streets are not concrete |
You’ll be in your bed by nine every night |
Take your hand-spanked, corn-fed gal |
And your best friend’s four-eyed pal |
To a treat right down the street that’s dynamite |
Now let your conscience be your guide |
If you put your foot inside |
You wish you left your well-enough alone |
When you got hell to pay |
Put the truth on layaway |
And blame it on that ole' crazy bone |
Crazy bone (crazy bone) |
Crazy bone (crazy bone) |
Well you wish you’d left your well-enough alone |
When you got hell to pay |
Put the truth on layaway |
And blame it on the ole' crazy bone |
Don’t be stuck up in Alaska |
When you should be in Nebraska |
On a Thursday when it’s Egg &Daughter Nite |
When the farmers come to town |
And they spread them eggs around |
And they drop their daughters down at the roller rink |
Well you’re prob’ly standin' there |
With your slicked-back, Brylcreem hair |
Your Lucky’s and your daddy’s fine-tooth comb |
If they knew what you were thinkin' |
They’d run you out of Lincoln |
Just blame it on that ole' crazy bone |
Crazy bone (crazy bone) |
Crazy bone (crazy bone) |
Well you must have left your wisdom tooth at home |
If they knew what you were thinkin' |
They’d run you out of Lincoln |
Blame it on the ole' crazy bone |
When the grandkids all are grown |
And they put you in a home |
And eternity is approachin' fast |
Yeah you’re half out of your head |
And you prob’ly pissed the bed |
And you can’t see a thing to save your ass |
And far across the prairie (prairie) |
In the local cemetery ('tery) |
They already got your name carved out in stone |
When all them nurses say |
«Grandpa why you walk that way?» |
Just blame it on that ole' crazy bone |
Yeah blame it on that ole'… |
Crazy bone (crazy bone) |
Crazy bone (crazy bone) |
And everybody in that old folks' home |
If they knew what you were thinkin' |
They’d run you out of Lincoln |
Just blame it on that ole' crazy bone |
And everybody in that old folks' home |
Yeah blame it on that ole' crazy bone |
