I'm gonna sing, and I'm going to make me a lot of money.

It’s been too hard living, but I’m afraid to die. ‘Cause I don’t know what’s up there, beyond the sky.

I was born by the river, in a little tent, and just like the river I've been running ever since.

Man, if I was back home, I'd be swinging with two chicks on my arms.

Shakin' like a bowl of soup and make your body loop-de-loop.

Another fella told me, he had a sister who looked just fine. Instead of being my deliverance, she had a strange resemblance to a cat name of Frankenstein.

Ooh, ah, ooh, ah, that's the sound of the men working on the chain gang.
