(diálogo)

[Bruce] 'What the fuck is that?'

[Nerd] 'Hi, guys, are you in a band or something? I mean it

would be so cool if you were in a band 'cos you're Driving a

big bus with band on the front of it'

[Bruce] 'Why don't you shut up and get on board will ya?'

[Nerd] 'Wow! I have it here you got a stereo and a microwave

And, and you got a beer, I'd like a Heineken if you've got

one' that's real cool, that's great, yeah!'

[Bruce] 'Would you like to see Black Bart?'

[Nerd] 'Who's Black Bart?'

[Bruce] 'Let me introduce you'

Black Bart's seen it

Black Bart knows

Black Bart's done it

The Black Bart blues

Suspended in suspension

Many evil nights in Tennessee, and elsewhere

We all got to try the Black Bart blues

Black Bart's truckin' ain't what it seems

Black Bart's lookin'

Don't know where she's been

Maybe she's an acrobat

Spends her evenings dancing on a pole

We all got to try the Black Bart blues

Black Bart tried most anything

Black Bart liked it but he couldn't sing

So he asked me to tell ya

Try it for yourself and you will see

We all got to try the Black Bart blues

[diálogo]

[Bruce] 'What did you do that for?'

[Nerd] 'I'm sorry, I just..., I guess I'm not used to...

[Bruce] 'Shut up and get on with it will you'

Black Bart's livin' across the ocean now

Black Bart's lookin' to come back somehow

So if you are a dancer,

You could dance his pole in May

That's a maypole

Black Bart's coming

Now Black Bart's gone

Black Bart did it so I wrote this song

Whatever and however,

In and out or several at a time mmm yes!

We all got to do the Black Bart blues

Here comes the guitar solo

We all got to try the Black Bart blues

Yowsa! Yowsa! Yowsa!
