Lyrics
Well, I'd wade thru muddy water
Way up to my neck
Look a Diamomdback Rattler in the eye
Just to get my proper respect
So dang funky---it's a cryin' shame
Too much pleasure can give you pain
Too much 'party juice' in yo' brain
Goes 'round-n-'round-n-back again
(CHORUS)
Put some whiskey in your water
And hot liquer in your tea---
Life is really strange (if you want it to be)
Add some hashish to your brownies
And cocaine to your co'nbread---
Life is really strange ('cause it'll go right to your head) (REPEAT)
I work all day and git high all night
Just so's I can feel good.
A fifth of 'party juice' makes a dead man horny
And puts you in a livelier mood.
So dang funky---it's a cryin' shame
You work 'round folks who don't know your name
They're lookin' out for No. 1 (Numero Uno!)
An' playin' The Game
You try standing up, but you fall again.
(CHORUS)
Some day soon, I'll make it big
If it's the last thing I'll ever do
So until that day, I'll take some 'party juice'
Git smashed, kick back an' screw
So dang funky---it's a cryin' shame
Too much (HUMPIN'!) drives a man insane
Skies are all 'sunny' (Sonny!),
But it feels like rain
So messed up, ain't nuthin' the same!
(CHORUS--Twice)
GIT WEIRD!!!!!
GIT WEIRD!!!!!
