Alex Bevan - Skinny lyrics

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, gonna boogie till I'm blind I got a quart a dollar wine ta 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's gonna hamper my action My path is clear and my timing's right Cause 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 shut her down They're 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 Come to chase your women and drink your beer Oh my, and here you are, you see him stride into the bar He's got a girl on every arm and two or three to spare Yeah, ain't he neat, dressed to k** from head to feet The tavern quiets down, the people stare in disbelief He's got chrome plated platforms nine inches high Batteries in the sole with neon lights on the side A patent leather jacket with a picture on the back It's Marilyn in the nude with some writing on her a** It 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 You throw your water in the sink and give me whiskey in my gla** The bourbon tastes mean but it sure beats listerine 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 and a pinch or even vodka's all right I got a ringin' in my ears and a burnin' in my eyes And I'm a Skinny little boy from Cleveland Ohio Come to drink your women and chase your beer So people now you know my story and you're aware of my curse Of how this decent model citizen was changed by lust and thirst You 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 watching 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'll raise it to your lips, you'll 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 ---
