[Verse 1]
Well, he came home from the war with a party in his head,
And modified Brougham De – Ville,
And a pair of legs that opened up like butterfly wings,
And a mad dog that wouldn’t sit still!

[Verse 2]
Went and took up with a Sal – vation Army Band girl,
Who played ‘Dirty water’ from a sword -fish – trom – bone,
He went to sleep at the bot – tom of Ten – killer Lake,
And he said, “Gee, but it’s great to be home!”

[Verse 3]
Well, he came home from the war, with a party in his head,
And an idea for a fireworks dis – play,
And he knew that he’d be ready with a stainless steel ma – chete,
And a half a pint of Ballentine’s each day!

[Verse 4]
Then he holed up in room a – bove a hardware store,
Crying nothing there, but Hol – ly – wood tears,
And he put a spell on some poor little Crutchfield girl,
And stayed like that for twenty-seven years!

[Verse 5]
He’d packed up all his expect – ations,
He lit out for Cali – fornia,
With a flyswatter banjo on his knee,
With ‘Lucky Tiger’ in his angel hair,
And benzedrine for getting there,
They found him in a eucalyptus tree!

[Verse 6]
Lieutenant got him a cana – ry bird,
And skanked her head with eve – ry word,
And Chesterfielded moon – beams in a song,
And he got 20 years for lovin’ her,
From some Oklahoma Gover - nor,
Said, everything this doughboy does is wrong!

[Verse 7]
Now, some say he’s doing ‘The o – bitu – ary mambo’,
Now, some say he’s hangin’ on the wall,
Perhaps, this yarn’s the only thing…
…That holds this man to – gether,
Some say that he was never here at all!

[Verse 8]
Some say they saw him down in Birmingham,
Sleeping in a box – car going by,
And if you think that you can tell a bigger tale,
I swear to God, you’d have to tell a lie!
