Well hung, friend of mine
He's size 8 -I'm size 9
So shucks my dear
I'm gonna get a lick from you
One thing, one thing too, one thing to remember
That I could have, yes I could have, ooh
Yes I could have, I could have stood you up
But I did, did, didn't yeah yeah
Short fuse, lights blew out
Power came back - hear them shout
Shucks my dear
Gotta get a lick from you
One thing, one thing too, one thing to remember
That I could have, yes I could have, ooh
Yes I could have, I could have stood you up
But I did, did, didn't yeah yeah
My shoes, walk down the street
Only trouble is they ain't on my feet
Dig them kicks, they belong to me
One thing, one thing too, one thing to remember
That I could have, yes I could have, ooh
Yes I could have, I could have stood you up
But I did, did, didn't yeah yeah
Rip it up, rip it down
Change the shape of the whole damn town,
Shucks my dear
I'm gonna get a lick from you
One thing, one thing too, one thing to remember
That I could have, yes I could have, ooh
Yes I could have, I could have stood you up
But I did, did, didn't yeah yeah
