The continuing story of the Skinny Little Boy
Shazam! Feelin' grand, guess I'll mosey into town
Raise hell all around, I'm gonna have a good time
Damn, you bet I am, out to boogie 'til I'm blind
I got a quarter dollar wine, get myself primed
Runnin' down the road, I got the back tire smokin'
The highway is open, not a cop in sight
No red light flashin's gonna hamper my actions
My path is clear and then my timing'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 and roarin' into town
Women, grab your children, bolt the doors and shutter down
Peekin' out from windows while the menfolk 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 outer space?
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 on every arm and three or four to spare
Yeah, ain't he neat? Dressed to kill from head to feet
The tavern quiets down, people stare in disbelief
He got chrome-plated platforms nine inches high
Batteries in the sole with neon lights on the side
Patented leather jacket with a picture on the back
It's Marilyn in the nude with some writin' on her ass
That says, "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 in the sink and 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 alright
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 narrow trail
You shun the gaily-painted ladies, bright lights and booze as well
Or you'll be sittin' all alone watchin' TV home in bed
Your skin'll start to prickle and your hands'll start to sweat
You reach for the bottle just sure as I stand
You raise it to your lips, you take a drink and then shazam!
You're a skinny little boy from Cleveland, Ohio
You go chasin' down the women and drinkin' up the beer
