Lyrics

Old Whore’s Diet

An old whore's diet

Gets me goin' in the mornin'

Ain't nothing like it

Gets me goin' in the mornin'

To say I love you

Gets me goin' where I want to

Oh gets me goin'

Oh gets me goin' in the mornin'

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

An old whore's diet

Gets me goin' in the mornin'

Ain't nothing like it

Gets me goin' in the mornin'

To say I love you

Gets me goin' where I want to

An old whore's diet

Gets me goin' in the mornin'

Ain't nothing like it

Gets me goin' in the mornin'

To say I love you

Gets me goin' where I want to

Oh-oh gets me goin'

Oh-oh gets me goin'

Oh-oh gets me goin'

Oh-oh gets me goin' in the mornin'

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh

An old whore's diet

Gets me goin' in the mornin'

Ain't nothin' like it

Gets me goin' in the mornin'

To say I love you

Gets me goin' where I want

Tooo-ooo-ooo

Gets me goin'

Ooo-ooo

Gets me goin'

Ooo-ooo

Gets me goin'

Ooo-ooo

Gets me goin' in the mornin'!

Hell

Either here or Hell will do

Either here or Hell will employ you

Either here or Hell will employ you

Suicidal assistance

An old whore's diet
