Lyrics
Well, it's too damn early and your eyes are bleeding From the vicious bottle the night before And the last thing you need is a nicety-nice And small talk crawls out your ears Maybe it makes you feel just like an undercover Sigmund Freud I hear it makes you feel just like an undercover Sigmund Freud Hey there, hey now, hey there, hey now Well, you can make a pacemaker blink, yeah, easy thing Make a man's heart go bippity-bop bippity-bop bippity-bop Like a gentle blue pill to inject the chill And no one knew that it ever meant So go on, go on, go on, darling, go on Yeah, go on, go on, darling, go on, go on, yeah Yeah, the secretaries and typewriters chattering away Chatter-chatter-chatter-chatter-chatter-chatter-chatter, chatter away It ought to make you sick when you hear a woman cry When she don't get just whatever she wants Oh, but not my woman, she just keeps on keeping on That's my woman, my woman That moving on shuffle side to side That sure can turn me on That dirty ass rock 'n' roll (dirty ass rock 'n' roll) Dirty ass rock 'n' roll (dirty ass rock 'n' roll) Yeah, dirty ass rock 'n' roll (dirty ass rock 'n' roll) Dirty ass rock 'n' roll (dirty ass rock 'n' roll) Dirty ass rock 'n' roll (dirty ass rock 'n' roll) Dirty ass rock 'n' roll (dirty ass rock 'n' roll) Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now And the beach is a thing and the bees don't sting Like complaining from a downtown whore I got my plasma patches and my hypodermic In hermetically sealed kid gloves Oh, tell me, tell me, tell me how you like it Oh, tell me, tell me, tell me how you like it Dirty ass rock 'n' roll (dirty ass rock 'n' roll) Dirty ass rock 'n' roll (dirty ass rock 'n' roll) Yeah, irty ass rock 'n' roll (dirty ass rock 'n' roll) Dirty ass rock 'n' roll (dirty ass rock 'n' roll) Dirty ass rock 'n' roll (dirty ass rock 'n' roll) Dirty ass rock 'n' roll (dirty ass rock 'n' roll) Dirty ass rock 'n' roll (dirty ass rock 'n' roll) Dirty ass rock 'n' roll (dirty ass rock 'n' roll) Dirty ass rock 'n' roll (dirty ass rock 'n' roll) Dirty ass rock 'n' roll (dirty ass rock 'n' roll) (Dirty ass rock 'n' roll)
