Playing pool and drinking beer
|
Nothin more'n the
|
occasional tear
|
But this man's life goes on
|
and he gets
|
greased all over
|
from time to time
|
At the strip joint, where we met
|
He said 'Hi, my name is Ted
|
See that one over there
|
That ball of thunder
|
Every time she goes Vavoom,
|
I wiggle in my chair
|
Can I buy you a beer?
|
What a guy
|
|
'I've had a few myself' he said
|
'But I never quit when I'm ahead
|
Too many rules and regulations
|
Stupid laws designed by fools behind closed doors
|
And another thing I won't discuss is religion
|
It always causes a fight
|
Vavoom
|
There she goes again
|
'How does she do that' said Ted
|
|
And he told me
|
of those unjustices (that)
|
He had suffered in his life
|
His wife and kids
|
and boss and dogs
|
and neighbours
|
Raising cain and causing strife
|
They were forever whining
|
Bleating howling yapping screeching moaning crying
|
Vavoom
|
He fed them well
|
He keep them warm
|
|
Thing about Ted
|
he didn't really care
|
Nothing much got in his hair
|
and the beauty of it was
|
that he was right
|
He was big as a truck
|
and fast as a door
|
(what's that?)
|
he was always right
|
|
The banjo player took a hike
|
What's that song
|
I used to like
|
Vavoom
|
He was big as a truck
|
Fast as a door - Ted
|
Ted the man our Ted
