lyrics

screwdriver and hammer gonna bang it out of tune
pump it full of whiskey hang a bucket on the moon
a whooping in the kitchen and a rumble in the back
gonna have a party til we have a heart attack - yeah

going to kansas city gonna ride like stavin' chain
a dagger for a swagger and a pistol for a brain
gonna light the river gonna get it flaming hot
burn it to a cinder now ready or not

walk a little shaky but he make it to the door
gonna play the numbers 4-11-44
razor smoking menthols selling tickets for a ride
gonna knock the building down by running side to side
