THE BE-SHARP BLUES

You know I met a little lady, with a twinkle in her eye
Everything was fine and dandy, 'til I caught her with that guy (why, Buddy, why?)
First she said he was her cousin, now I know the reason why

I went to buy a car, man they took me for a ride
Now I'm drivin' in a junkbox, with the interest rate sky-high
But if I crash it and I burn it, maybe I'd get stuck inside

Then I found a little doggie, out there starving in the cold
Man, I took him in and fed him, but the beast got very bold
Now he acts like he's the master, and he's throwin' me a bone, dig that

You live and you learn, you toss and you turn
You make your mistakes, one big one's all it takes

You've got to be sharp, people listen to my plea, oh yeah
If you're careless and you're foolish, you could end up just like me

(ride)

One day my girlie and her manchild took the dog out for a drive
Flipped doin' 99 out on the Interstate, none of them got out alive
All my problems were solved in one shot! While the bee was in the hive, still alive

You've got to be sharp, if you wanna be like me, oh yeah
You've got to be sharp, if you are then you will see
That when the Hand of Fate grabs you by the neck, slaps you silly, throws you down a
flight of stairs and into a big pile of garbage, jumps on you and kicks you in the head so
many times you think your name is Thom McAn and his name is Buster Brown, baby,
please believe me when I say--it can be an opportunity----
