Alex Bevan ~ Skinny Little Boy From Cleveland Ohio
The continuing story of the skinny little boy...
Shazaam, feelin' grand guess I'll mosey into town,
raise hell all around, I'm gonna have a good time.
Damn ya better hear I'm out to boogie till I'm blind,
I got a quart of dollar wine get myself primed.
Runnin down the road I got the back tires smokin.
The highway's open not a cop in sight.
No red light flashin is gonna hamper my actions.
The path is clear and then my timin's right.
And I'm a skinny little boy from Cleveland, Ohio
come to chase your women and drink your beer
Second gear down main street, I'm roarin' into town.
Women grab your children, bolt the doors, and shut 'er down.
Peekin' out from windows while the men folk pray,
They speak in frightened whispers and the weak ones faint.
Is it a bird, is it a plane, is it a demon in the air,
or a fire breathin', baby eatin', mother beatin' bear.
Is it murder, is it rape, is it the watergate tapes,
or a mere hallucination caused by folks from outerspace.
No, it's a skinny little boy from cleveland Ohio
He's come to chase your women and drink your beer
Oh my, and here we are, you see him stride into the bar.
He got a girl in every arm and three or four to spare.
Yeah, ain't he neat, dressed to kill from head to feet.
The tavern quiets down, and people stare in disbelief.
He got chrome plated platforms nine inches high,
batteries in the sole with neon lights on the side.
Patent leather jacket with a picture on the back,
it's Marilyn in the nude with a tattoo on her ass.
It says a skinny little boy from cleveland ohio
he's come to chase your women and drink your beer
Stand aside from the bar if you haven't come to drink.
Throw your water the sink you give me whiskey in my glass.
The bourbon tastes mean, but it sure beats listerine.
It gets your breath twice as clean and high twice as fast.
Run out of Wild Turkey, Jack Daniels is fine.
Keep your Gin and Tonic, your old Ripple wine
Tequila in a pinch or even Vodka's all right.
I got a roarin' in my ears, and I got a burnin' in my eyes
And I'm a skinny little boy from Cleveland ohio
Come to drink your women and chase your beer
Well, people now you know my story and you're aware of my curse
and how this decent model citizen was changed by lust and thirst.
Take heed of my warning, you walk the straight and narow trail
You shine the gala, paint the ladies, bright lights, and booze as well
Or you'll sittin all alone, watchin TV home in bed
Your skin'll start to prickle and your hands'll start to sweat
You'll reach for the bottle just as sure as i stand
You raise it to your lips, you take a drink, and then shazaam !
You're a skinny little boy from Cleveland ohio
You go chasin' down the women and drinkin' up the beer
