| I wouldn’t sell my belt to industry
|
| So they carded me, and they carted me off.
|
| Naked but that belt around my waist
|
| It was my father’s once. |
| I still see his face.
|
| I said whoa oh oh, they carted me off.
|
| I said whoa oh oh oh oh, they carted me…
|
| But I managed to escape the good Gendarme.
|
| I fled through field and farm, stripped of natural charm.
|
| Naked but that belt I wear so well,
|
| P-p-p-past the pyramids and the liberty bell.
|
| I said whoa oh oh, they carted me off.
|
| I said whoa oh oh oh oh, they carted me…
|
| Hey!
|
| This is something I have to do for myself.
|
| Yeah, this is something I have to do for myself.
|
| I have to for myself,
|
| I have to for myself.
|

|

|
| Beneath my monstrous gown of feathery down.
|
| But I gathered up an army made of those
|
| Who aimed to shake them from their repose.
|
| And we took up weapons, yeah
|
| And we took off our clothes.
|
| And we took up weapons, yeah
|
| And we took off our…
|
| Hey!
|
| This is something I have to do for myself.
|
| Yeah, this is something I have to do for myself.
|
| I have to for myself,
|
| I have to for myself, yeah
|
| So what say you and all your friends meet all of my friends in the alley
|
| tonight?
|
| Yeah, what say you and all your friends step up to my friends in the alley
|
| tonight?
|
| Yeah, what say you and all your friends meet all of my friends in the alley
|
| tonight?
|
| Yeah, what say you and all your friends step up to my friends in the alley
|
