I'm in the lobby of the motel 8
went on my lovely date
her name is doris day
i'm in a suit of burgandy
theres a deer head lookin at me,
its blowin my mind away,
everyone knows she's the killin kind
she keeps her 38 smith and wesson at her side,
i put a pistol in my pants cuz we're goin out to dance
where the water drinks like cherry wine.
tell me mama so it seems,
they say he been a bad marine,
they're shipping him home tonight,
tell me mama where's your other son, in jail with the other one,
you mustn't have raised 'em right.
i heard your low-life husband john got me to wonderin
what the scene was all about,
said i'm breakin my parole
goin down to jericho
gettin that money or i'ma beat it out

Ooooh happy days are here
its a perfect summer night and the moonlight's shining clear.
put your pistol in your purse cuz we're goin to gettysburg
to the stand of the greatest show on earth

Is that your daughter mr. kissinger
better keep an eye on her,
she been lookin' me up and down.
is that your woman in the coat of fur,
better keep an eye on her
this the ravenous part of town
i know about you and the deputy
how they found him shot dead in a mercury
some say you're paid to kill like that mean old buffalo bill
watch it buddy don't draw no gun on me

Ooooh happy days are here
its the perfect summer night and the moonlight's shining clear.
put your pistol in your purse cuz we're goin to gettysburb
to the stand of the greatest show on earth.
