"Skip Chaser" lyrics - DELBERT MCCLINTON
Put on my hat, put on my coat
Go out back and feed my goat
Nothing but a box of hot donuts on my mind
Go to my car, I check my tires
Fill my pocket with my favourite set of pliers
I got some nuts to crack, hope they ain't mine
Got to be the first one up in the morning
You got to catch 'em while they're still in bed
You got to be quick, don't give 'em any warning
You got a better chance of not winding up dead
There's a place I, I got to go by
See the woman with the monkey with the glass eye
Maybe get a tip on an old friend of mine
His time is up, today's the day
The monkey said it's time for him to pay
Everybody knows you gotta do what the monkey say
Got to be the first one up in the morning
You got to catch 'em while they're still in bed
You got to be quick, don't give 'em any warning
You got a better chance of not winding up dead
The day is done, my taps are run
A nothing but another like the other one
A couple of tokes and a cold one and I'll be fine
Got to be the first one up in the morning
You got to catch 'em while they're still in bed
You got to be quick, don't give 'em any warning
You got a better chance of not winding up dead
