Mama Just Wants To Barrelhouse All Night Long (4: 1

i was up the road on easy street

watching everybody stand around and cheat

a man comes up and says «move along

down to the corner where you belong»

but mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long

i hear the city singing like a siren choir

some fool tried to set this town on fire

tv preacher screams «come on along»

i feel like fay wray face to face with king kong

but mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long

sometimes i wonder what i am

i feel like i’m living in a hologram

it doesn’t seem to matter what’s right or wrong

everybody’s grabbing and coming on strong

but mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long
