Vavoom: Ted The Mechanic |
|
Playing pool and drinking beer |
|
Nothin more'n the |
|
occasional tear |
|
But this man's life goes on |
|
and he gets |
|
greased all over |
|
from time to time |
|
At the strip joint, where we met |
|
He said 'Hi, my name is Ted |
|
See that one over there |
|
That ball of thunder |
|
Every time she goes Vavoom, |
|
I wiggle in my chair |
|
Can I buy you a beer? |
|
What a guy |
|
'I've had a few myself' he said |
|
'But I never quit when I'm ahead |
|
Too many rules and regulations |
|
Stupid laws designed by fools behind closed doors |
|
And another thing I won't discuss is religion |
|
It always causes a fight |
|
Vavoom |
|
There she goes again |
|
'How does she do that' said Ted |
|
And he told me |
|
of those unjustices (that) |
|
He had suffered in his life |
|
His wife and kids |
|
and boss and dogs |
|
and neighbours |
|
Raising cain and causing strife |
|
They were forever whining |
|
Bleating howling yapping screeching moaning crying |
|
Vavoom |
|
He fed them well |
|
He keep them warm |
|
Thing about Ted |
|
he didn't really care |
|
Nothing much got in his hair |
|
and the beauty of it was |
|
that he was right |
|
He was big as a truck |
|
and fast as a door |
|
(what's that?) |
|
he was always right |
|
The banjo player took a hike |
|
What's that song |
|
I used to like |
|
Vavoom |
|
He was big as a truck |
|
Fast as a door - Ted |
|
Ted the man our Ted |
