[00:00.00]Mr. Bad Example - Warren Zevon
[00:05.48]I started as an alter boy working at the church
[00:10.13]Learning all my holy moves doing some research
[00:14.63]Which led me to a cash box labeled children's fund
[00:19.45]I'd leave the change
[00:21.18]And tuck the bills inside my cummerbund
[00:24.20]I got a part time job at my father's carpet store
[00:29.33]Laying tackless stripping
[00:31.54]And housewives by the score
[00:33.77]I loaded up their furniture
[00:36.39]And took it to Spokane
[00:38.54]And auctioned off every last naugahyde divan
[00:43.44]I'm very well aquainted with the seven deadly sins
[00:48.26]I keep a busy schedule trying to fit them in
[00:53.01]I'm proud to be a glutton
[00:55.64]And I don't have time for sloth
[00:58.03]I'm greedy and I'm angry
[01:00.46]And I don't care who I cross
[01:02.60]I'm Mr Bad Example intruder in the dirt
[01:07.43]I like to have a good time
[01:09.77]And I don't care who gets hurt
[01:12.45]I'm Mr Bad Example take a look at me
[01:17.00]I'll live to be a hundred and go down in infamy
[01:21.89]Of course I went to law school and took a law degree
[01:26.65]And counseled all my clients to plead insanity
[01:31.39]Then worked in hair replacement swindling the bald
[01:36.21]Where very few are chosen and fewer still are called
[01:41.05]Then on to Monte Carlo to play chemin de fer
[01:45.62]I threw away the fortune I made transplanting hair
[01:50.68]I put my last few francs down on a prostitute
[01:55.45]Who took me up to her room to perform the flag salute
[02:00.58]Whereupon I stole her passport and her wig
[02:05.15]And headed for the airport
[02:07.52]And the midnight flight you dig
[02:09.89]And fourteen hours later I was down in Adelaide
[02:14.86]Looking through the want ads sipping fosters in the shade
[02:19.50]I opened up an agency somewhere down the line
[02:24.22]To hire aboriginals to work the opal mines
[02:29.19]But I attached their wages and took a whopping cut
[02:33.83]And whisked away their workman's comp
[02:36.71]And pauperized the lot
[02:38.72]I'm Mr Bad Example intruder in the dirt
[02:43.48]I like to have a good time
[02:45.92]And I don't care who gets hurt
[02:48.41]I'm Mr Bad Example take a look at me
[02:53.31]I'll live to be a hundred and go down in infamy
[02:57.88]I bought a first class ticket on Malaysian Air
[03:02.73]And landed in Sri Lanka none the worse for wear
[03:07.52]I'm thinking of retiring from all my dirty deals
[03:12.34]I'll see you in the next life wake me up for meals
