Lyrics

But one night, at the Social Club meeting
Mary didn't show up
She was sucking cock backstage at The Armory
In order to get a pass to see some big rock group for free
Hey, hey, hey, all you girls in these industrial towns
I know you're prob'ly gettin' tired of all the local clowns
They never give you no respect, they never treat you nice
So perhaps you oughta try a little friendly advice
And be a crew slut
Hey, you'll love it
Be a crew slut
It's a way of life
Be a crew slut
See the world
Don't make a fuss, just get on the bus
Crew slut
Add water, makes its own sauce
Be a crew slut
So you don't forget, call before midnite tonite
The boys in the crew are just waiting for you
You never get to move around, you never go nowhere
I know yer prob'ly gettin' tired of all the guys out there
You always wondered what it's like to go from place to place
So, darlin', take a little ride on the mixer's face
And be a crew slut
Just follow the magic footprints
Be a crew slut
Hey, you'll love it!
Be a crew slut
It's a way of life
I ain't gonna squash it and you don't need to wash it!
Crew slut
Hey, I'll buy you a pizza
Be a crew slut
Of course, I'll introduce you to Warren
The boys in the crew are only waiting for you
Well, you been to Alabama, girl, 'n Georgia too
And all the boys in the crew is bein' good to you
I know you're sayin' to yourself "This is the way to go"
'Cause when you need a little extra, they will give you some mo'
'Cause you're the crew slut
I'm into leather (that's good!)
Crew slut (a lot of the boys in the crew love leather)
And rubber?
Crew slut (yeah, they like rubber too, shrink-tubing with a hair dryer)
Trade your spot on the bench for a guy with a wrench
And be a crew slut
You like that, huh?
Crew slut (I told you you'd love it)
It's a way of life!
The guys in the crew have got a present for you!
A present for me?
We got a present for you!
Whaddya got?
Whaddya gonna give me?
It looks just like a Telefunken U-47
You'll love it
With leather?
Eh errr, eh eh... This is the Central Scrutinizer, again
And so Mary was enticed away from Joe
By an evil barbarian with a wrench in his pocket
Lured into a life of sleazery
With the entire road crew of some famous rock group
I don't know whether it was really Toad-O or not
I don't know... I'll check it out
Again we see music causing big trouble!
