Hoochie Coochie Dancer

[Verse 1]

Oh, I got a brand-new girlfriend, she's hot from head to toe

I met her on the midway 'bout an hour ago

I may not have a future and she may have a past

But the fortune teller read our palms and told us this could last

One good thing about her for sure that I know

She's a hoochie coochie dancer in this carnival show

[Verse 2]

She said, "You gotta see me dance, see me do my thing"

I was thinkin', "Wow, I need to buy this girl a ring"

She said her show was somethin' I really had to see

And if I'd give her fifty bucks, she'd get me in for free

[Verse 3]

She said her mom is on parole, her dad's in Leavenworth

My buddies think I'm crazy, but hey, this just might work

So I asked my friend Bud Weiser, "Hey, Bud, what do you think?"

Bud said what he always said, "Well, first, let's have a drink"

There's one good thing about her for sure we both know

She's a hoochie coochie dancer in a carnival show

[Verse 4]

And then we went behind the tent and that's when I felt a thud

I woke up just lyin' there in the sawdust and the mud

Musta hit my head on somethin', you know, it's dark back here

"No, officer, I ain't been drinkin', well, just a couple of beers"

[Verse 5]

The police found my wallet and my high school ring

I didn't know that they were gone, it's the darnedest thing

I still feel kinda woozy from that corn dog that I ate

I think I'll go behind the tent and just sit back there and wait

For my brand-new sweetheart, she'll look for me, I know, 'cause

She's a hoochie coochie dancer in this carnival show

[Outro]

Listen, officer

She was back there when I hit my head, she'll swear that it's all so

She's a hoochie coochie dancer in this carnival show
