Stagecoach lady, hourglass body Makin' thinks glow in the night Well, she would if she could And she'd be good if she would Only tell her lover she be out tonight 'Cause I'm a bad A lonely school boy And I'm a rat And it's too bad can't get me none of that Salt lake city, salt-lickin' bitties Bogies turn, stinkin' of gin Well my daddy was hard His face was pretty scarred From kickin' ass to playin' poker to win 'Cause I'm a bad A lonely school boy And I'm a rat And it's too bad Can't get me none of that It's too bad It's too bad can't get me none of that New sold lady my mama Cady Chivalry was born at her feet Well she should have thought twice when pa showed his dice Imagine put my daddy to sleep 'Cause I'm a bad A lonely school boy And I'm a rat And it's too bad can't get me none of that It's too bad Lord, it's too bad I said it's too bad Lord it's too bad, yeah I said it's too bad It's too bad You know it's too bad Ah, it's too bad
