Gypsy Roadhog

(album: Whatever Happened To Slade - 1977)

I powdered my nose in Alabama Out on a limb
Powdered my nose in Indiana Ain't that a sin
I had to get my butt out quick
It always works the old, old trick
I got away just in the nick of time, that's why

I powdered my nose in Oklahoma Over the top
I wasted away in New Orleans I couldn't stop
Down in the alley happy dust
Me and Romona we was getting bust
I got away just in the nick of time, that's why

I got the nickname the Gypsy Roadhog
On the California trail
I gotta keep my wheels moving on
I gotta keep me outa jail

Powdered my nose in San Francisco down on the bay
It went to my head down in New York City
I was blasted away
And two ugly scuts bust in the room
They took away my little silver spoon
I got away just in the nick of time, that's why

[CHORUS]

I'm coming through, through, through
I'm looking for you
