|
Me and my brother were talking to each other |
|
'Bout what makes a man a man |
|
Was it brain or brawn, or the month you were born |
|
We just couldn't understand |
|
Our old man didn't like our appearance |
|
He said that only women wear long hair |
|
So me and my brother borrowed money from Mother |
|
We knew what we had to do |
|
We went downstairs, past the barber and gymnasium |
|
And got our arms tattooed |
|
Welcome to my life, tattoo |
|
I'm a man now, thanks to you |
|
I expect I'll regret you |
|
But the skin graft man won't get you |
|
You'l be there when I die |
|
Tattoo |
|
My dad beat me 'cause mine said 'Mother' |
|
But my mother naturally liked it and beat my brother |
|
'Cause his tattoo was of a lady in the nude |
|
And my mother thought that was extremely rude |
|
Welcome to my life, tattoo |
|
We've a long time together, me and you |
|
I expect I'll regret you |
|
But the skin graft man won't get you |
|
You'll be there when I die |
|
Tattoo |
|
Now I'm older, I'm tattooed all over |
|
My wife is tattooed too |
|
A rooty-toot-toot, rooty-tooty-toot-toot |
|
Rooty-toot-toot tattoo too |
|
To you |
