Ruthie-Ruthie

(albüm: You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 1 - 1988)

I, I can't see you, but I know that you're out there. It's that little voice, that same little voice at all of the concerts, of the guy in the back of the room. It's going, "Weh-ne-heh Hehn-weh-niggaheh-niggaheh. Mini-mini-heh mini-hehn." Coupla years ago, there was a guy that used to come to all the concerts on the East Coast, I swore I heard him every night for a month, there he was somewhere in the audience, an' he would it's this little voice, and he would say, "Freak me out, Frank! Freak me out! Freak me out, Frank!" OK, here we go! Arf, arf. "Weh-ne-heh." Arf.

Ruthie-Ruthie
Where did you go?
Oh, Ruthie-Ruthie, yeah yeah yeah wow wow wow wow
Where did you go?

Last night at Chatham Center
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania
I wanna tell ya a story
Right after Ruth got through barfing (WO-ULK!)
She pushed her tray out the door
Xerox men came crashing in, said

Ruthie-Ruthie
Where did you go?
(What did you do, now what did you do?)
Ruthie-Ruthie
(Oh yeah)
What did you do?
(Where did you go, go?)
Lookit here!

Ruthie had on a thin night gown
She wasn't feeling very well, no no no no
She pushed her tray out the door
Some guy tried to come in
She kicked him in the nuts
He said, "Oh, oh, oh, oh!"

Ruthie-Ruthie
What did you do?
(Now, what did you do? What did you... what did you do?)
Ruthie-Ruthie
(Ruthie-Ruthie, that was the best thing anybody could do)
What did you do, now?

Well, we have another song for you that goes far beyond Louie Louie, Ruthie-Ruthie, or even Brian Brian, this song is so advanced it takes us all the way from 1955 directly to approximately 1957, which is when it should have been written, but actually it was written about 1970. This is a song, we'd like to dedicate this song to Marty, our road manager, who has a fondness for the canine species, and the orifice attendant thereto.
