Capo 2
Intro: A (see tab below song)
Sorry ’bout your mama, sorry ’bout your pa
Sorry about the business with your brother-in-law
Hard cheese about the money man, hard cheese about the stocks
Hard cheese about you being up to your ears in hock
Tough luck about your luggage, tough luck about your socks
Tough luck about the way that the other shoe drops
Too bad about your girlfriend, too bad about your wife
Too bad about the thing you call the rest of your life
Hey,
how’d you get this number man – who do you think you’re talking to?
Now who do you think you are kidding, what do you want me to do?
How’d you get this number man, please don’t make me laugh
You know you
ought to be on TV with a line like that
I heard about the car rent, I heard about the fail
I heard about the time you was in jail all night
I know you don’t like trouble and I know you don’t like to fight
I know that you could argue with a fence post all night
I heard about the lampshade, how you had it on your head
I heard you told a joke and knocked the whole room dead
No kidding about the car sir, no kidding about the junk
No kidding about you being in a deep blue funk
Hey,
how’d you get this number man – who do you think you’re talking to?
Now who do you think you are kidding, what do you want me to do?
How’d you get this number, please don’t make me laugh
You
ought to be on TV with a line like that
