"You Can't Tell Errol Anything" lyrics - LES CLAYPOOL

LES CLAYPOOL
"You Can't Tell Errol Anything"

Now Errol's a smart boy who delivered big weed
Says that he could get you all that you may ever need
He got careless and filled his face with greed
20 pounds past the limit, 20 miles over the speed

Errol always said he was the jack-of-all-trades
He'd work on damn near anything just as long as he's paid
You got a project and he's quick to your aid
Just don't bitch about the service or critique the grade

'Cause you can't tell Errol anything
'Cause Errol knows everything

Now Errol plays music whenever he can
He and some friends went and started a prog-rock band
And when the wouldn't always adhere to his plan
He grabbed up his PA and like a bastard he ran

Now Errol claims his business was fully legit
And he swore up and down that he'd never get bit
But now incarceration has forced him to quit
'Cause Errol the smart boy wouldn't listen for shit

You can't tell Errol anything
'Cause Errol thinks he knows everything
