Lyrics
0:10Me and my brother were talking to each other
0:14'Bout what makes a man a man
0:18Was it brain or brawn or the month you were born
0:22We just couldn't understand
0:29Our old man didn't like our appearance
0:33He said that only women wear long hair
0:39So me and my brother
0:41Borrowed money from Mother
0:43We knew what we had to do
0:47We went downstairs
0:49Past the barber and gymnasium
0:52And got our arms tattooed
0:59Welcome to my life tattoo
1:02I'm a man now
1:04I expect I'll regret you
1:06But the skin graft man won't get you
1:08You'l be there when I die
1:14Tattoo
1:25My dad beat me
1:26'Cause mine said "Mother"
1:29But my mother naturally liked it
1:31And beat my brother
1:33'Cause his tattoo
1:34Was of a lady in the nude
1:37And my mother thought
1:38That was extremely rude
1:45Welcome to my life tattoo
1:48We've a long time together
1:50Me and you
1:53I expect I'll regret you
1:55But the skin graft man
1:56Won't get you
1:57You'll be there when I die
2:03Tattoo
2:14Now I'm older I'm tattooed all over
2:18My wife is tattooed too
2:22A rooty-toot-toot
2:24Rooty-tooty-toot-toot
2:26Rooty-toot-toot tattoo too
2:32To you
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 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
