How'd You Get This Number

(Album: Boats To Build - 1992)

Sorry 'bout your mama
Sorry 'bout your paa
Sorry 'bout the business
With your brother-in-law

Hard cheese about the money man
Hard cheese about the stock
Hard cheese about you being
Up to your ears in hock

Tough luck about your luggage
Tough luck about your socks
Tough luck about the way
That the other shoe drops

Too bad about your girlfriend
Too bad about your wife
Too bad about the thing
You call the rest of your life, hey

How'd you get this number man
Who do you think you're talking to
Now who do you think you're kidding
What do you want me to do

How'd you get this number man
Please don't make me laugh
You know you oughta be on TV
With a line like that

Hey, I heard about the car wreck
I heard about the fight
I heard about the time
You's in jail all night

I know you don't like trouble
And I know you don't like to fight
I know that you can argue
With a fence post all night

I heard about the lamp shade
I heard you had it on your head
I heard you told a joke
And knocked the whole room dead

No kidding 'bout the cough syrup
No kidding 'bout the junk
No kidding 'bout you been
In a deep blue funk

How'd you get this number man
Who do you think you're talking to
Now who do you think you're kidding
What do you want me to do

And how'd you get this number man
Please don't make me laugh
You oughta be on TV
With a line like that, hey
