Lyrics

I always live by the, golden rule Whatever happens, ha, don't blow your cool! You gotta have nerves of steel And never show folks how you, honestly feel I lived all my life this way, ha For example, take yesterday: I breeze home happy bringin' her my pay Her note read ...so long savvy, I haven't gone away! An' I threw myself down across our empty bed An' this is what I said: Ooo shhhhiiiii ooow ooow ooow What? Oh what are you gonna do with me? Ooo wow uh But I was cool! So I "one for the roaded" at a all night bar I wound up so loaded, I tore up my car The judge threw the book at me An' when I read, the sentence there, I said: "Oow! Please oooow ooow, please I got to know, I got to know What? what went wrong? I don't underst... I oh a But I was cool! So I said she's the only one, that I have to pay And I found her an' pulled my gun, an' fired point blank The shot whistled right past that woman's head An' I killed my hound dog, dead! Oooooow, ruff ruff, rrr, rrr, rrr, rur, rur, rur As they carried me away I was overheard to say "Be cool, be cool, stay cool, be cool!"
