lyrics

=================================================

Well, I lost my wooden nickel
On the porch swing where I laid
I found a girl to tickle
But she had a wooden leg
She said, "I can give you money,
If'n you'll take out my trash!"
Well, I had to give her credit
'Cause she didn't pay with cash

Bye, bye birds
Get back home
It's a long way down
So you know

There's a song in my head
And a bum in your bed
I don't know where I'm bound
But I still gots to go
If you see me & I'm drunk
You pick me up down the road

Well, I found her at a wedding
Where we bargained with the lord
And he called us up to heaven
But we wound up on the floor
Paul Woodhouse played a stand-up
That he stole from Woody Pines
He said, "That boy's just a chooch,
I wouldn't trust him in a bind!"

So bye, bye birds
Get back home
It's a long way down
Just so you know

There's a song in your head
And a bum in my bed
I don't know where I'm bound
But I still gots to go
If you're drunk when you see me
Pick me up down the road

(But don't get a DUI)
