Strum
D-DU-UDU
It's like sitting in the kitchen
When the music's really bitchin'
Your nose it starts to itchin'
As you count your old age pension
Did I forget to mention
The ride that I was hitchin'
To the aluminum convention
I had such good intentions
Keep you cotton pickin' fingers off my song poem
And leave the lights on till you baby gets home.
Leave the lights on till you baby gets home.
Leave the lights on till you baby gets home.
Don't forget your toothbrush
Your hairbrush and your comb
Leave the lights on till you baby gets home.
Got a big ol' dog
A chrome crowbar
I keep that mother humper in the back seat of my car
Me and Billy Shakespeare
Stepped out to get a root beer
We sat together so near
People thought we were queer
Punctuated by the big scare
We joined the Air Force right there
To defend our country first class
Who couldn't give a rat's ass
Don't you tell me that the White House is my home
Leave the lights on till you baby gets home.
Leave the lights on till you baby gets home.
Leave the lights on till you baby gets home.
Don't forget your toothbrush
Your hairbrush and your comb
Leave the lights on till you baby gets home.
Got a big ol' dog
A big iron bar
I keep that mother humper in the back seat of my car
It's like kissing Greta Garbo
With a mouth full of marbles
Like trying to cash a paycheck
In the middle of a train wreck
Leave the lights on
Leave the lights on
Like trying to get aroundo
In a car made of bondo
Like speaking German lingo
To a dog named Dingo - Plotz!!
Leave the lights on
Leave the lights on
Like a french-fried quesadilla
In a franchised pizzeria
Leave the lights on
Leave the lights on
A big iron bar
I keep that mother humper in the back seat of my car
