REASON FOR THE SHAPE I’M IN 

IS A JEALOUS HEART, A PINT OF GIN, 

AND A BROWNSKIN EVIL WOMAN. 

LOVED A CHICK, CALLED HERSELF SLICK, 

MIDNITE……TIPPIN’ IN, “PLAYED BINGO… 

CARRIED MAYBELLE HOME, 

YOU KNOW BABY WOULDN’T LIE TO YOU.” 

PAYDAY……..JUICED, BORROWED CAR, 

TRAILIN’ THROUGH THE SHADOW, 

WEST SIDE, 

UP THE STAIRS,  

SMASHED THE DOOR,  

BIG DARK CAT, STRAW HAT, 

NAKED BLADE!  THIRTY-EIGHT! 

THE LAW! 

GUESS THERE’S NOTHIN’ I CAN DO 

TO MAKE THAT JUDGE UNDERSTAND 

IT WASN’T MURDER…..MURDER’S WHEN 

YOU KILL A MAN HE AIN’T HURT YOU. 

I GUESS THERE’S NOTHIN’ I CAN DO.
