About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Ooh, I got a busted wing and a hornet sting Like an out-of-tune guitar Ooh, she got a Hercules on her side And Diana in her eyes Some men like the Chinese life Some men kneel and pray Ooh, well, I like women and I like wine And I've always liked it that way Always liked it that way [Pre-Chorus] (Doo-wop, shoo-wop) (Doo-wop, shoo-wop, shoo-wop, shoo-wop, ah) [Chorus] I can't dig it, the way she tease That old tough-man routine up her sleeves Livin' and a-lovin', kissin' and a-huggin' Livin' and a-lovin' with a cat named Hercules A cat named Hercules [Verse 2] Oh, and it hurts like hell to see my girl messin' with a muscle boy No Superman gonna ruin my plans Playin' with my toys Rich man sweatin' in a sauna bath Poor boy scrubbin' in a tub Me, I stay gritty up to my ears Washin' in a bucket of mud Washin' in a bucket of mud [Pre-Chorus] (Doo-wop, shoo-wop) (Doo-wop, shoo-wop, shoo-wop, shoo-wop, ah) [Chorus] I can't dig it, the way she tease That old tough-man routine up her sleeves Livin' and a-lovin', kissin' and a-huggin' Livin' and a-lovin' with a cat named Hercules A cat named Hercules [Guitar solo] [Pre-Chorus] (Doo-wop, shoo-wop) (Doo-wop, shoo-wop, shoo-wop, shoo-wop, ah) [Chorus] But I can't dig it, the way she tease That old tough-man routine up her sleeves Livin' and a-lovin', kissin' and a-huggin' Livin' and a-lovin' with a cat named Hercules A cat named Hercules A cat named Hercules A cat named Hercules A cat named Hercules (Oh, yeah) (Yeah, yeah)
