1.
spilled the beans let the cat out the bag/secret's out what a fuckin' drag/alibis won't help ya now/tell a lie no way no how/shoulda taken another drink/more time alone means more time to think/i got a real bad feelin' in my brain/feels like everyone but me's goin' insane/please don't put me away/i got a long life to live and i got a lotta shit to say/this shit's bananas, outta control/my next door neighbor's tryin' to steal my soul
2.
willy otto waits by the doorstep/now that's a name i bet ya ain't heard yet/"SCRAM" ol' otto screamed and that door slammed every last knuckle on that poor boy's hand/that's willy otto man/"ya varmints filth sludgy scalliwhags, outta my sight before i shoot yer ass"/and that boy ran fast as he can cause ya know when willy otto gets ya by the hand you ain't never gonna see him again/he never gets no mail outside of the news/got no cotton pickin' clue what he's goin' through/but he's a mean old bastard and by the hair on his back/knock on his door boy yer gonna get smacked/don't be a hero now and boy don't get slick unless you want willy otto's walkin' stick to yer neckbone, yer head's gone, leakin' yer brains all over the lawn/so ya better haul ass quick as you can cause ya know when willy otto gets ya by the hand you ain't never gonna see him again
3.
thinkin' i'm holed in a pile of shit but really just caught in a comedy bit/back & forth and to & fro a snake oil man from the medicine show/poultry powder, buffalo elixir/tastes mighty sour, probably enough just to fix 'er up/sickly round of wizard shit said to cause a hissy fit/pickin' up here and shovin' off there just try a drop boy don't be scared/have ya wakin' up in the sticks
4.
(Charles E. Calhoun/Jesse Stone) get outta that kitchen and rattle those pots 'n pans/i want my breakfast cause i'm a hungry man/i believe you been doin' me wrong and now i know/cause the harder i work the faster my money goes/shake rattle & roll, you won't do right to save yer goddamn soul/i'm like a one eyed cat peepin' in the seafood store/i could look at you tell you ain't no child no more/i'm like a mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump/i got so many women i don't know which way to jump/flip flop and fly, don't care if i die/don't ever leave me don't ever say goodbye
5.
get it straight and get it right but don't go spillin' the beans/keep it in the pocket you know just what i mean/don't turn it loose just turn it out, scream and shout/that's what it's all about/they're doing the stumpy thump/give em hell with a piece'a yer brain/when everybody walks and talks the same, you gotta get on up and do your thing, cause it's your thing
6.
Yer Bidness 03:00
don't ask questions cause it's none'a yer bidness where i been or where i'm goin'/rubberneckin' when it's none'a yer bidness where i been or where i'm goin'
7.
old man stood stonefaced on 33rd & death/draws a harp to chapped lips buzzin' single low notes/same crumpled hand wiped drippings from his nose/yes he'd seen better days/his droopy red-weathered eyes watered as they stared down at his swapmeet shoes/oh lord it's leroy's lament/burned all his money now he can't pay no rent/clears his throat with a smoky death rattle fore bellowin' "lord i'm goin' away tonight"/reached for his flask for a quick long sip/that damned harmonica did slid from his grip/fell to the concrete and in two she split/brought his hands to his face with a single sob/oh lord it's leroy's lament/his woman done left him and his money's all spent/but don't poke no fun cause this could be you/caught dead in a rainstorm gurglin' the blues/but he didn't hear no thunder
