'Friday Night Regret'
by Gerald 'Bubba Groove' Ulmer
I woke up this morning, -
With a pain on my brain.
I rolled on over -
To reach for a smoke.
To my surprise, -
There lay another 'Bloke'.
I said, hey buddy -
What cha' doing in my bed?
He just gave me a grin, -
And placed a blonde wig on his head!
I yelled, now wait a minute, -
Let's back this freight train up!
There's some things, -
That I'll abide!
And some things, -
that I won't.
At the top of that list -
I don't sleep with no 'Bloke'!
CHORUS ****
Lord, have mercy on me! -
How drunk was I?
I got to clear my brain, -
I can't remember a thing!
And who's this clown, _
That's grinning at me?
There's such and ach in my head.-
Hey mister, - get out of my bed!
It was about this time -
In come some former friends of mine.
Laughing like a bunch of nuts, -
They had sit the whole thing up!
I said alright, my friends, -
You've had your fun.
I will admit, -
you've pulled a good one.
But remember this, -
Payback stings like a Peace tree switch!
CHORUS ****
Lord have mercy on me, -
How drunk was I?
I've got to clear my brain, -
I can't remember a thing.
And who's this Clown -
That's grinning at me?
There's such and ach in my head,-
Hey mister, get out of my bed!
SPOKEN
Ok boys, I'll admit; as pranks go, this one was pretty good.
Where's that Jimmy Plemmons? I bet he's behind this somehow.
And I know Jerry Slavens come up with the idea!
Billy Wayne, was you in on this too?
Maybe I'll just quit drinking altogether!
It ain't safe around you guys.
Billy Wayne, who is this guy? And would you get him out of my bed?
I'm going back to sleep.
This is just a bad dream. But pay back coming some body's way!
