Lyrics
Baddie's Boogie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Baddie's bound by ancient codes of decency and secrecy
He understands about stabbin' backs and shaking hands
So if or when you're behind bars or in front of them as you are
Look out for the man who'll bum your wife
And then shake your hand
Oh, you've been here before
You fell in love and carried her over the threshold
Thinking, "She's far too good looking to do the cooking"
Now, but that was twenty years ago
Twenty years ago
And now she's thinking
It's a lousy life for the washed up wife of a permanently plastered
Pissed up bastard
A lousy life for the washed up wife of a permanently plastered
Pissed up bastard
A lousy life for the washed up wife of a permanently plastered
Pissed up bastard
Lousy life, a lousy life
Kid was singing
Will I ever be free
Does this town hold no more for me
Club Tropicana the drinks are free
Stick one in his face for me
Baddie's bound to decency and secrecy
Baddie's bound
Oh, well you've been here before
You fell in love and carried her over the threshold
Thinking, "She's far too good looking to do the cooking"
Oh, but that was twenty years ago
Twenty years ago
And now she's thinking
It's a lousy life for the washed up wife of a permanently plastered
Pissed up bastard
A lousy life for the washed up wife of a permanently plastered
Pissed up bastard
A lousy life for the washed up wife of a permanently plastered
Pissed up bastard
Lousy life, a lousy life
Kid was singing
Will I ever be free
Does this town hold no more for me
Club Tropicana the drinks are free
Stick one in his face for me
Baddie's bound
Decency and secrecy
