London Homesick Blues

Kinky Friedman - London Homesick Blues

When you're down on your luck

And you ain't got a buck

In London, you're a goner

even London Bridge

Has fallen down

And moved to Arizona

Now I know why

We'll I'll substantiate the rumor

That the English sense of humor

Is drier than the Texas sands.

You can put up your Dukes

and you can bet your boots

I'll be leavin' here as fast as I can.

I wanna go home with the Armadillo

Country music from Amarillo and Abilene

The prettiest women and the friendliest people you ever seen.

Well, I decided that

I'd take my cowboy hat

And go down to the Marble Arch station

'Cause when a Texan fancies

that he'll take his chances

Chances will be taken,

That's for sure.

And those Limey eyes

they were eyeing the prize

Some people call manly footwear

'Cause when you're from down South

When you open your mouth

You always seem to put your foot there.

I wanna go home with the Armadillo

Country music from Amarillo and Abilene

The friendliest people and the prettiest women you ever seen.

I wanna go home with the Armadillo

Country music from the Lone Star Café and Abilene

The prettiest women and the friendliest people I've ever seen.
