When your left eye
Starts to jump
And your heart
Begins to thump
Man that's all
Another mule is kickin' in your stall
When your babies
See their hard nights
And when she come home
She want to fuss and fight
Man that's all
Another mule is kickin' in your stall
[Guitar solo]
[Spoken]
I was talkin' to a table full of young dudes
At the gig the other night
And uh one of them asked me
"Say Bishop, what is that old crazy song you sing about the mule?
What does that mean?"
I told him "A mule kickin' in your stall
That's just an old saying, that means you got, uh
Outside, unnecessary, unwanted help with your love life"
He said "Aw"
I said "But are you guys having a good time, are you guys enjoying yourself?"
He said "Aww, hell yeah!"
He said "Wait, we're gonna get high cause we want to enjoyin' this good music
Everyone wanna go out and duck outside
And smoke a little somethin' you know what I mean?
And then we're gonna dance with all the girls and
Might even get lucky!"
And I tell him "Well that's good
But what'd you do with all them good lookin' girlfriends
You brought last time?"
He said "Aw, we left them home"
I said "Well that's okay but did you ever stop to think
That anything you can do out here
She can do back there?"
He said "Oh, I hadn't thought of that!
You know somethin' funny did happen the other day
I came home a little early from work
And I walked in the front door and I heard the back door slam
What does that mean?"
I said, "Uh-oh, that might be that old mule!"
[Singing]
You come home
Your food ain't cooked
And then she gives you
That old dirty look
Man that's all
Another mule is kickin' in your stall
