[Intro]
Alright
Pick it up now, woo
[Verse 1]
T-bone Billy just a singin' the blues
He caught his lady with another man
Lit up a smoke and did some talkin' with the back of his hand, smack
[Verse 2]
She started shakin', started losing her mind
But he was kicking back and playing it cool
Signed her walkin' papers took the 5:15 to Kalamazoo
[PreChorus]
Sing for your super
But nobody rides for free
Well, eat your heart out, I'll send it C.O.D
[Chorus]
One, two, baby, what you do?
Three, four, let me show you the door
You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of me
Five, six, take your last licks
Seven, eight, I'm gonna give it to you straight
You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of me
[Verse 3]
Now Billy-boy's out havin' a ball
He's playin' fiddle at the local bar
The dark shades, cool kicks, he's Hollywood Blvd.
Slick Daddy with his fat cigar
He's sayin', "Sign upon the dotted line"
He shook his head and said, "All I need's that fiddle of mine, that's all"
[PreChorus]
Sing for your super
Nobody rides for free
Take your big time, I'll take care of m-m-me, m-m-me, yeah
[Chorus]
One, two, baby, what you do?
Three, four, let me show you the door
You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of me
Five, six, take your last licks
Seven, eight, I'm gonna give it to you straight
You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of me
[Verse 4]
Say, trouble keeps knockin'
My Billy keeps rockin' like this, huh
[Verse 5]
Get over here and sing like a rockstar, girl
[PreChorus]
Sing for your super
Nobody rides for free
Take your big time, I'll take care of m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, yeah
[Chorus]
One, two, baby, what you do?
Three, four, let me show you the door
You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of me
Five, six, take your last licks
Seven, eight, I'm gonna give it to you straight
You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of me
[Outro]
One, two, baby, what you do? Woah
You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of me
Five, six, take your last licks
You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of, mess of, mess of me, yeah
Make a mess of me, it'll be the best mess you ever made, baby
