Bang Bang Lulu

(album: Electric Blue Watermelon - 2005)

Yeah, I heard the doorbell rang
I got a friend in prison with the ball and chain
When you hear that whistle blow
You know somebody got to go
Bang bang Lulu, don't bang away so strong
What you gonna do for banging when Lulu's dead and gone

Hambone and possum meat's sweet and fine
Just gimme that watermelon smiling on da vine
Sanctified monkey sitting on the moon
Trying to make a mornin into afternoon
Bang bang Lulu, don't bang away so strong
What you gonna do for banging when Lulu's dead and gone
B-B-B-B-Bang bang Lulu, don't bang away so strong
What you gonna do for banging when Lulu's dead and gone

Wake up in the evening to like Kenny Brown
Take a little drink of whiskey and lay back down
I like to fuss and fight, walk the streets all night
Drink from a bottle and bawl in the moonlight
Bang bang Lulu, don't bang away so strong
What you gonna do for banging when Lulu's dead and gone

If you wanna know does your woman wanna flirt
She got on clear vinyl hotpants and see-through shirt
You can ease, squeeze as much as you please
I might be white but I ain't unease
Bang bang Lulu, don't bang away so strong
What you gonna do for banging when Lulu's dead and gone
B-B-B-B-Bang bang Lulu, don't bang away so strong
What you gonna do for banging when Lulu's dead and gone

Yeah, I heard that doorbell rang
I got a friend in prison with the ball and chain
I shut my eyes to hold my breath
Sun so hot I'd've like to froze to death
Bang bang Lulu, don't bang away so strong
What you gonna do for banging when Lulu's dead and gone
B-B-B-B-Bang bang Lulu, don't bang away so strong
What you gonna do for banging when Lulu's dead and gone
