Captain Beefheart
Advance Romance
[Verse 1]
No more credit from the liquor store
Suit is all dirty, my shoes is all wore
Tired and lonely, my heart is all sore
[Refrain]
Advance romance
I can't stand it no more, you know
[Verse 2]
Told me she loved me, I believed what she said
Took me for a sucker, boy, all corn-fed
Next thing I knew she had a bolt on her door
[Refrain]
Advance romance
I can't use it no more, no, I can't use it
[Verse 3]
She took George's watch like they always do
(It was a Timex, too!)
(Him ashamed on you)
No more money, boy, I shoulda knew
You know I told ya
(I know you told me)
You didn't listen to me
(But I couldn't listen to you!)
Told you 'bout the anchovies…
(You know what I'm talkin' about!)
George Duke!
[Bridge]
The way she do me, boy
She might do you, too
The way she do me, boy
She might do you, too
The way she do me, boy
She might do you, too
(Look what she did to Denny right now!)
(Talk about it!)
(I'm chokin' the blues this morning!)
([…])
(Get all over… ! My Goodness!)
(Old time!)
(Chicken was never like this!)
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
All night long
All night long

All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long

[Refrain]
Advance romance
(Think about it!)
People we are-
(Yeah, one more time, one time!)
Through! But, wait a minute!
[Verse 4]
Potato-head Bobby was a friend of mine
Opened three of his eyes in the food stamp line
Opened four of his eyes in the food stamp line
Opened five of his eyes in the food stamp line
Opened six of his eyes in the food stamp line
Oh, you know they told me she might be a devil
No, you like them
Good God! Did you hear what I said?
Evil women
Oh, yeah!
You know, you know, you know
But she sure was fine
You like them
Oh, yeah!
Evil women
Growin' up, goin' home!
[Refrain]
Advance romance
(What you gonna do?)
He wanna try it one time
He said he don't mind, no
[Verse 5]
Later that night he'd drop on by
Told her all he wanna do was step up and say "Hi"
(HI-HI HI-HI HI-HI HI-HI HI-HI HI-HI HI-HI HI-HI)
Half an hour later she had frenched his fry
[Refrain]
Advance romance
Bobby, say good-bye
[Instrumental]
