Yeah ! don't tell me nothing, daddy!
I know, what I'm doing!
Yeah, daddy, I'm real fast liver
And a trouble giver
I'm a whisky taster
And a money waster
And the old folks say
I won't live long
But I'll die happy
I'm good time lover
Living undercover
I'm a real low raider
And a aggrovater
And I know I won't always be strong
But I'll die happy
So when they plant my body
'neath the sod
Please don't take it so hard
'cause when I'm copping that eternal knode
I'll be the happiest cat in the graveyard
Well I'm a loud noise-maker
And a belly shaker
I'm a goof ball user
And a chick abuser
And I can't live right from living wrong
But I'll die happy
Sax-Solo
So, when they plant my body
'neath the sod
Please don't take it so hard
'cause when I'm copping that eternal knode
I'll be the happiest cat on the graveyard
Well I'm a loud noise-maker
And a belly shaker
I'm a goof ball user
And a chick abuser
And I can't live right from living wrong
But I'll die happy
Fade-out
