I Shall Be Free
(Indisponível)
Well, I took me a woman late last night
I was three-fourths drunk, she looked alright
Til she started peelin' off her onion gook
Took off her wig, said, "How do I smell?"
(I was high flying... bare-naked...
Out the window!)
Well, sometimes I might get drunk
Walk like a duck and smell like a skunk
Don't hurt me none, don't hurt my pride
'Cause I got my little lady right by my side
(She's a trying to hide
Pretending she don't know me)
I was out there paintin' on the old wood shed
When a can a black paint it fell on my head
I went down to scrub and rub
But I had to sit in back of the tub
(Cost a quarter ...half price)
Well, my telephone rang it would not stop
It's President Kennedy callin' me up
He said, "My friend Bob
What do we need to make the country grow?"
I said, "My friend John
Brigitte Bardot
Anita Ikberg
Sophia Loren."
(Country'll grow)
Well, I got a woman five feet short
She yells and hollers and screams and snorts
She tickles my nose, pats me on my head
Blows me over and kicks me outta bed
(She's a man-eater
Meat grinder, bad loser)
Oh, there ain't no use in me workin' all the time
I got a woman who works herself blind
Works up to her breeches, up to her neck
Writes me letters and sends me checks
(She's a humdinger ... Folk singer)
Late one day in the middle of the week
Eyes were closed I was half asleep
I chased me a woman up the hill
Right in the middle of an air raid drill
(I jumped a fallout shelter
I jumped a string bean
I jumped the TV diner
I jumped the shotgun)
Now, the man on the stand he wants my vote
He's a-runnin' for office on the ballot note
He's out there preachin' in front of the steeple
Tellin' me he loves all kinds-a people
(He's eatin' bagels
He's eatin' pizza
He's eatin' chitlins*)
Oh, set me down on a television floor
I'll flip the channel to number four
Out of the shower comes a football man
With a bottle of hair oil in his hand
(It's that greasy kid stuff
What I want to know, Mr. Football Man, is
What do you do about Willy Mays
Martin Luther King
Ola Tungee?)
Well, the funniest woman I ever seen
Was the great-granddaughter of Mr. Clean
She takes about fifteen baths a day
Wants me to grow a moustache on my face
(She's a little bit heavy!)
Well, ask me why I'm drunk all of the time
It levels my head and eases my mind
I just walk along and stroll and sing
I see better days and I do better things
(I catch dinosaurs
I make love to Elizabeth Taylor...
Catch hell from Richard Burton!)
