Thank you for watching!Thank you for watching!Dirty water from a swordfish tromboneHe went to sleep at the bottom of Tenkiller LakeAnd he said, gee, but it's great to be homeWell, he came home from the war with a party in his headAnd an ID for a fireworks displayAnd he knew that he'd be ready with a stainless steel macheteAnd a half a pint of a valentine's each dayAnd he holed up in a room above a hardware storeCrying nothing there but Hollywood tearsAnd he put a spell on some poor little Crutchfield girlAnd stayed like that for twenty-seven yearsHe packed up all his expectations, he lit out for CaliforniaWith a flyswatter banjo on his kneeWith Lucky Tiger in his angel handsYeah, Benzedrine for getting thereFound him in a eucalyptus treeLieutenant got him a canary birdAnd skanked her head with every wordAnd Chesterfield and moonbeams in a songHe got twenty years for loving herFrom some Oklahoma governorSaid everything this doughboy does is wrongSo you'll never regret itAnd I've planned a few goddamn thingsThat's what I figuredShe told me to forget about itTo have a new girlWell, there's a first nightShe said I was about to become her momAnd that she was sayingI should be being smartWell, here she was at my hospitalAnd I was trying to figure out what she wanted from meSome say he's doing the obituary mamboNow some say that he's hanging on the wallPerhaps this yarn's the only thing that holds this man togetherSome say that he was never here at allSome say they saw him down in BirminghamSleeping in a boxcar going byAnd if you think that you can tell a bigger taleI swear to God you have to tell a lieAnd if you think that you are the only real manNext time it seems that the real man'd be BachTo hang his head on to that�대
