put on my steel toed shoes
and i stepped from the train
came down with a case of the delta flue
in the middle of the pouring rain
w. c. handy don’t you barf all over me
lord, i got a first class headache
and i’m as sick as a boy can be

and then i stepped in some dog shit
covered from my toe back to my heel
walking in dog shit
is it any wonder how i feel

well i puked right on the table
there’s a foul stench in the air
i’m turning green but i can’t see you
through the chunks caught in my hair

muriel plays nurse
every friday down on hollywood
they sent me down to see here
they said she’d do me good
so i smoked a little number
and ate cookies through the night
she said, “looks like you’re ‘bout to toss ‘em”
i said, “mam, i think you’re rriiigghhtt!!
