John Cale
Dirty-Ass Rock ‘n’ Roll
[Verse 1]
Well now it's too damn early and your eyes are bleeding
From the vicious bottle the night before
And the last thing you need is a nicety-nice
And small talk crawls out your ears
Maybe it makes you feel just like an undercover Sigmund Freud
I hear it makes you feel just like an undercover Sigmund Freud
[Verse 2]
Hey there, hey now, hey there, hey now
Well you can make a pacemaker blink, yeah, easy thing
Make a man's heart go bibbity-bom bippity-bom bippity-bom
Like a gentle blue pill to inject the chill
And no one knew that it ever meant
So go on, go on, go on, darling, go on
Yeah go on, go on darling, go on, go on
[Verse 3]
Yeah, the secretaries and typewriters chattering away
Chatter-chatter-chatter-chatter
Chatter-chatter-chatter, chatter away
It ought to make you sick when you hear a woman cry
When she don't get just whatever she wants
But not my woman, she just keeps on keeping on
That's my woman, my woman
That moving on shuffle side to side
That sure can turn me on
[Chorus]
That dirty-ass rock 'n' roll
Dirty-ass rock 'n' roll
Yeah, dirty-ass rock 'n' roll
Oh, dirty-ass rock 'n' roll
Whoa dirty-ass rock 'n' roll
Oh oh yeah dirty-ass rock 'n' roll
Oh oh
[Verse 4]
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
And the beach is a thing if the bees don't sting
Like complaining from a downtown whore
I got my plasma patches and my hypodermic in hermetically sealed kid gloves
Ah tell me
Tell 'em, tell me how you like it
Ah tell me
Tell it, tell it how you like it
[Chorus]
Ah dirty-ass rock 'n' roll
Oh dirty-ass rock 'n' roll
Yeah dirty-ass rock 'n' roll
Yeah oh dirty-ass rock 'n' roll
Oh oh dirty-ass rock 'n' roll
Yeah dirty-ass rock 'n' roll
Yeah dirty-ass rock 'n' roll
Yeah yeah dirty-ass rock 'n' roll
