My Rented Room

from Death Row Hoedown by Muleskinner Jones

lyrics

Hang your coat up on the floor
Stub your cigarette out on the wall.
We got stoned and played Nintendo all night long
And I can't get to sleep cuz the girl next door's whoring
So I skim-read her diary (it was totally boring)
And the landlady's fat and black
And she won't give us our deposit back
And there's lunatics prowling the KwikSave aisles.

And I wrote this tune
In my rented room.

I ate nothing but toast 'n' cheese for three weeks
Saved my pennies so I could afford a decent whisky.
We got high and watched crap TV 'til the TV died
And you get funny looks from the folks about town
When you go out to buy beer in your dressing gown
And it's only half past ten
And Opera Bitch has called the cops again
But they don't give a shit, they just want to get home.

And I wrote this tune
In my rented room.

And I went to the doctor with pains in my feet
He said it's the first case of gout that he'd ever seen
And the landlady's fat and black
And she won't give us our deposit back
And it's only half past ten
And Opera Bitch has called the cops again
And the landlady's trying to screw us
I'd tell her to shove off but her sons are like gorillas
And when we got back they'd changed all the locks on the doors

And I wrote this tune
In my rented room.
