Lyrics
0:22You can't do me you can't do me
0:27You can't do me the way
0:31You did before
0:33You can't do me you can't do me
0:39You can't do me the way
0:42You did before
0:45Cause when you do and when you do
0:50Cause when you do you know
0:54I get so blue
0:57When you do and when you do
1:02Cause when you do
1:05You know I get so blue and I go
1:09Down like a deep sea diver
1:12Out like a Coltrane tenor man
1:15Lost like a Chinese war baby
1:17Gone gone gone
1:19Blewed like a Mississippi sharecropper
1:23Screwed like a high school cheerleader
1:26Tattooed like a popeyed sailorman
1:29Gone gone gone
1:31I should have been I should have been
1:36I should have been
1:39A pair of ragged claws
1:42I should have been I should have been
1:47I should have been
1:51A pair of ragged claws
1:54And for a while for just a while
1:59For a good long while you'd see me
2:03Smile smile smile
2:05I'd crawl the seas on my bony knees
2:11No apologies for my brave new style
2:16I wouldn't go
2:17Bust like an internet millionaire
2:20Boom like a Lebanese belly-dancer
2:23Bang like a new year's firecracker
2:26Gone gone gone
2:28I wouldn't get
2:29Bent like a rattan rocking chair
2:32Blanked like a last place also ran
2:35Burned like an Arkansas griddlecake
2:37Gone gone gone
3:02I should have been I should have been
3:07I should have been
3:10A pair of ragged claws.
3:14And if I was if I was
3:19If I was then I'd complain no more
3:25And for a while for just a while
3:30For a good long while
3:33You'd see me smile smile smile
3:37I'd crawl the seas
3:40On my bony knees
3:42No apologies for my brave new style
3:48I wouldn't get
3:49Wrecked like a rebel on a racetrack
3:52Jacked like a fifty one Cadillac
3:55Macked like a bunny in a mansion
3:57Gone gone gone
4:00Spitooned like an Alabama backy wad
4:03Harpooned in a Melville sailor yard
4:06Cartooned like a Charlie
4:08Brown Christmas card
4:09Gone gone gone
4:11Schooled like a milk money bully whip
4:15Sued like a teenage downloader
4:18Unglued like a bull in a china shop
4:20Gone gone gone
4:24Cranked like a speed freak high roller
4:26Yanked like a little league ball swatter
4:29Spanked like a fly on a bar counter
4:31Gone gone gone
4:34Duked like a pistol
4:36Whipped card swapper
4:38Rebuked like a Bible Belt border crosser
4:40Juked like a payola chart topper
4:43Gone gone gone
You can't do me you can't do me You can't do me the way You did before You can't do me you can't do me You can't do me the way You did before Cause when you do and when you do Cause when you do you know I get so blue When you do and when you do Cause when you do You know I get so blue and I go Down like a deep sea diver Out like a Coltrane tenor man Lost like a Chinese war baby Gone gone gone Blewed like a Mississippi sharecropper Screwed like a high school cheerleader Tattooed like a popeyed sailorman Gone gone gone I should have been I should have been I should have been A pair of ragged claws I should have been I should have been I should have been A pair of ragged claws And for a while for just a while For a good long while you'd see me Smile smile smile I'd crawl the seas on my bony knees No apologies for my brave new style I wouldn't go Bust like an internet millionaire Boom like a Lebanese belly-dancer Bang like a new year's firecracker Gone gone gone I wouldn't get Bent like a rattan rocking chair Blanked like a last place also ran Burned like an Arkansas griddlecake Gone gone gone I should have been I should have been I should have been A pair of ragged claws. And if I was if I was If I was then I'd complain no more And for a while for just a while For a good long while You'd see me smile smile smile I'd crawl the seas On my bony knees No apologies for my brave new style I wouldn't get Wrecked like a rebel on a racetrack Jacked like a fifty one Cadillac Macked like a bunny in a mansion Gone gone gone Spitooned like an Alabama backy wad Harpooned in a Melville sailor yard Cartooned like a Charlie Brown Christmas card Gone gone gone Schooled like a milk money bully whip Sued like a teenage downloader Unglued like a bull in a china shop Gone gone gone Cranked like a speed freak high roller Yanked like a little league ball swatter Spanked like a fly on a bar counter Gone gone gone Duked like a pistol Whipped card swapper Rebuked like a Bible Belt border crosser Juked like a payola chart topper Gone gone gone
