Well, he's down in California where the orange trees grow.
(Oh, California.)
And there's a pretty little girl here he used to know
(Oh, California.)
Well, he called her up today about a quarter to one..
(Oh, California.)
She said, come on over daddy, let's have some fun.
(Oh, California.)
I said, I heard about your husband is he back from the gym?
She said, come on over daddy, don't you worry 'bout him.
Not me..(I like livin'.)
Well, it's down in Alabama where they say you-all.
(Oh, Alabama.)
Where they dance all around until they havin' a ball.
(Oh, Alabama.)
Oh, he saw 'em start millin', they were gatherin' around..
(Oh, Alabama.)
They looked at me, and called him Cathy's Clown.
(Oh, Alabama.)
he said, hillbilly, but, you didn't call me right.
They said, what you tryin to do, boy, start a little fight?
Not me..(I ain't no boxer.)
(INTERLUDE:)
Well, he's back in Virginia, back in his home town..
(Oh, Virginia.)
where he got a reputation for miles around.
(Oh, Virginia.)
Yeah, and never no more will he ever roam.
(Oh, Virginia.)
You know he's stickin' right here to his happy home.
(Oh, Virginia.)
Well, a fella walked up to him, he said, let's take a trip.
he say, you better shut-up before I bust you in your lip.
Not me..
I ain't about to go nowhere.
You know, you can get hurt out there on that road!
I'm tellin' you..
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
