AHHHH...The Lord is a monkey
Thanksgiving's coming on the Fourth of July
In the form of a girl with a needle in her eye
Well she come from out west on a nickel's worth of gas
Got her mind on her money and a dope up her ass
Outside of Phenix she was kinda broke down
Burned a cracker-boy rig and she was out of that town.
HA HA HA HAA
Well she was a hairy creature in the ashwam bed
She was sellin' more skies had a funky-ass head
Well she played with my mouth and she threw me on the bed
And she cut off my balls and she sewed ?em to my head
Well she's headin' back east in a 67 Caddy
Got her mind on her money and a dope for her daddy
Well I met her on the street where she beat me like a fool
Then she got me accepted to an ivy league school
Well I really did good but it's kickin' my ass
I lost 38 pounds and my eye turned to glass
Well she's looking pretty good first week in July
She's got a dope up her ass and a needle in her eye
Thanksgivings coming on the Fourth of July
In the form of a girl with a needle in her eye
Well she come from out west on a nickel's worth of gas
Got her mind on her money and a dope up her ass
