Rappin’ Rodney

Lyrics

[Intro] I tell ya, I'm alright now But last week I was in rough shape But I don't get a break with nothin'! [Verse 1] I played hide and seek when I was three (No respect, no respect) Why, they wouldn't even look for me (No respect, no respect) I was an ugly kid, I never had fun (No respect, no respect) They took me to a dog show and I won! (No respect, no respect) When I was born I brought no joy (No respect, no respect) My old man said he wanted a boy (No respect, no respect) I was an ugly kid, always alone (No respect, no respect) Halloween, I had to trick or treat over the phone (No respect, no respect) [Pre-Chorus] Friends don't call, my phone don't ring I don't get a break with anything! (What's the matter, Rodney?) Ah, death, where is thy sting?! [Chorus] It's just Rappin' Rodney, ain't wrapped too tight No, no, Rappin' Rodney, get out of sight It's just Rappin' Rodney, make no mistake Poor old Rappin' Rodney, can't get a break! [Verse 2] I'm getting old, it's hard to face (No respect, no respect) When during sex I lose my place (No respect, no respect) Steak and sex, my favorite pair (No respect, no respect) I have 'em both the same way, very rare (No respect, no respect) I know I'm old, I could go any minute! (No respect, no respect) I got a kidney-shaped pool with a stone in it (No respect, no respect) Doctor Vinnie Boombatz, that's another one (No respect, no respect) I said I wanna stop aging, he gave me a gun! (No respect, no respect) [Pre-Chorus] I told him I got water on the knee He gave me a sponge and raised his fee! (What's the matter, Rodney?) Ah, it ain't easy bein' me [Chorus] It's just Rappin' Rodney, ain't wrapped too tight No, no, Rappin' Rodney, get out of sight It's just Rappin' Rodney, make no mistake Poor old Rappin' Rodney, can't get a break! [Bridge] Now, gimme a break! Play something from the 40s! Now, what kinda music is this? How about "Stardust"? Man, what are you doin'?! That's not "Stardust"! Listen to this, will ya? I mean, where are the flutes? What a band... ey, don't quit your day jobs Look at this, the drummer carries the melody! Hey, tell the bass player I like his instrument Hey boys, keep it going! Lay it on me, I'm in the groove! [Verse 3] Nothing goes right, I just can't fight it (No respect, no respect) Well, Eastern Airlines thanked me for flying United! (No respect, no respect) I got some money, what did I do? (No respect, no respect) I bought some quicksand, the deal fell through! (No respect, no respect) My car broke down, I called Triple A (No respect, no respect) They left the car and towed me away! (No respect, no respect) I can't take it no more, I'm getting too old (No respect, no respect) I called Suicide Prevention, they put me on hold! (No respect, no respect) [Pre-Chorus] Winter, summer, spring, and fall I'm always up against the wall! (What's the matter, Rodney?) Ah, I don't get no respect at all [Chorus] It's just Rappin' Rodney, ain't wrapped too tight No, no, Rappin' Rodney, get out of sight It's just Rappin' Rodney, make no mistake Poor old Rappin' Rodney, can't get a break! [Outro] It's getting worse, it's caving in! The heaviness, I can't take it no more It's all over... hey, where are my kids? Somebody help me! Hey, bartender! Hey, who's that guy with my daughter? Where's my wallet? How do I get outta here? Stop that dancing...!
