Bad Tattoo

VERSE 1
I had a drink
Maybe four
That was last night
So It might have been more
I don't remember much
But I'd like to blame it on the booze
Well, somebody's got to take the blame
For this bad tattoo, bad tattoo

CHORUS
This bad tattoo (can't believe)
Bad tattoo (wearing me)
It's going be hard to explain
But it's something I got to do
A little black ink
Is going to cause a big stink
This bad tattoo, bad tattoo

VERSE 2
Where were my friends
In my time of need?
I'd like to know how
They let this happen to me
I thought they had my back
When it's something stupid I'm going to do
They let me sit in a chair somewhere
And get this bad tattoo, bad tattoo

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3
What's my girl, Brenda, going to say
When she sees this?
It might as well be a picture
Of a sinking ship
I've rehearsed explanations
Expressed regret, through and through
Brenda's going to say: If you love me
Then why'd you get a "Wanda" tattoo?

REVISED CHORUS &OUTRO
This bad tattoo (can't believe)
Bad tattoo (wearing me)
I couldn't explain to her
Now, Brenda and I are through, (yes, she's through)
A little black ink
Sure caused a big stink
This bad tattoo, bad tattoo
A little black ink
Brenda's love is extinct
This bad tattoo, bad tattoo (3x)
