Lyrics

Shooting Dirty Pool

[Verse 1] Rock 'n' roll with loud mouth Spew in my glass Stroke another one down Right behind my back [Pre-Chorus] Do us all a favor, get yourself a spine Everybody's choking on the grapevine Loud mouth! [Chorus] Shooting dirty pool Spewing dirty lies Shooting dirty pool Spewing dirty lies, oh-oh [Verse 2] I heard it on the airwaves I've seen it in my glass Oh, get your money on the table Get your head out of your ass [Pre-Chorus] You're the coolest guy that I ever have smelt Ain't a notch on nobody's belt Do you vow? [Chorus] Shooting dirty pool Spewing dirty lies Yeah, shooting dirty pool Spewing dirty lies, oh-oh [Bridge] Why don't you get a haircut, sister? (That's it!) Loud mouth! [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Shooting dirty pool Spewing dirty lies Shooting dirty pool Spewing dirty lies, oh-oh Shooting dirty pool Shooting dirty pool Shooting dirty pool Spewing dirty lies, oh-oh Oh-oh-oh oh-oh
