Mama Just Wants to Barrelhouse All Night Long

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 KongBut mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long

Sometimes

I wonder what

I amI 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
