The Lyrics
drunk in the mornin'
ain't got no job
he looks like the devil, i must say
yeah, that yucky ol' bum
got nothin' to do
but stroll...
stroll around heavin' all day
he just don't look human
he's hit the skids
sweaty and wrinkled and gray
yeah, that yucky ol' bum
got nothin' to do
but stroll...
stroll around heavin' all day
dear lord...he's drunk
don't you see he's flyin'
terror in his eyes
he talks aloud
yes, he's testifyin'
how he's had to pay the price
blew out his liver
cookies got tossed
life has just been thrown away
yeah, that yucky ol' bum
got nothin' to do
but stroll...
stroll around heavin' all day
oh lord
ain't got no job
he looks like the devil, i must say
yeah, that yucky ol' bum
got nothin' to do
but stroll...
stroll around heavin' all day
he just don't look human
he's hit the skids
sweaty and wrinkled and gray
yeah, that yucky ol' bum
got nothin' to do
but stroll...
stroll around heavin' all day
dear lord...he's drunk
don't you see he's flyin'
terror in his eyes
he talks aloud
yes, he's testifyin'
how he's had to pay the price
blew out his liver
cookies got tossed
life has just been thrown away
yeah, that yucky ol' bum
got nothin' to do
but stroll...
stroll around heavin' all day
oh lord
