lyrics
I gotta itch but I can’t scratch it
Come near you and I think I’ll hatch a
na’re do well story from not long ago
So I just think I’ll go it alone
Most would scoff, and say my life’s past
But I’m ok cuz I’ve got my pabst
I’ve been told it’s in my genes
But they’re all kin and they drink like me
(Chorus)
So Why, why oh why, eyyyyyyy eyyyyy eyyyyy
whyyyyyy, eyyyy eyyyyy, eyyye Won’t you love on me x2
I worked some, but I rather skip it
I’d fly my lip and the boss sas zip it
So many places I’d rather be
So come on honey won’t you hang with me
Got no mortgage, got no car note
50 gallon barrels and a plank is my boat
float ‘n down the river, got nothing to do
Oh Sweet Jesus, I’ll do nothing with you
(Chorus)
Yes my house has a fly or two
they buzz around, whatcha gonna do
They got their life and I’ve got mine
We can live together and that’s just fine
I don’t know where those papers went to
Some number or other on 7th avenue
So I missed that judge in courtroom 2
I might be fine, I might be screwed
(chorus)
I’m telling you hon, what you gotta do
stop paying atten to thtionat yuppie zoo
you and your friends should be looking up to me
A decadent life with no degrees
(chorus)
Come near you and I think I’ll hatch a
na’re do well story from not long ago
So I just think I’ll go it alone
Most would scoff, and say my life’s past
But I’m ok cuz I’ve got my pabst
I’ve been told it’s in my genes
But they’re all kin and they drink like me
(Chorus)
So Why, why oh why, eyyyyyyy eyyyyy eyyyyy
whyyyyyy, eyyyy eyyyyy, eyyye Won’t you love on me x2
I worked some, but I rather skip it
I’d fly my lip and the boss sas zip it
So many places I’d rather be
So come on honey won’t you hang with me
Got no mortgage, got no car note
50 gallon barrels and a plank is my boat
float ‘n down the river, got nothing to do
Oh Sweet Jesus, I’ll do nothing with you
(Chorus)
Yes my house has a fly or two
they buzz around, whatcha gonna do
They got their life and I’ve got mine
We can live together and that’s just fine
I don’t know where those papers went to
Some number or other on 7th avenue
So I missed that judge in courtroom 2
I might be fine, I might be screwed
(chorus)
I’m telling you hon, what you gotta do
stop paying atten to thtionat yuppie zoo
