Hey baby come up to my place, we'll listen to some smooth music on the stereo, no thank you got any Stan Getz records no I got Smothers Brothers so I combed back my Detroit jack up my pegs, wiped my Stacy Adams jacknifed my legs, yea I got designs on a moving violation hey baby, you put me on hold and I'm out in the wind and it's getting mighty cold... colder than a gut shot ***** wolf dog with 9 sucking pups pullin' a 4 trap up a hill in the dead of win
