Traction Blues

Lyrics

The coffee at the hospital Was a low-down nasty sludge I got 19 compound fractures and I'm talking to the judge And if that judge don't bust you I'll take you to the one that will 'Cause I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love Call me a dumbbell, call me a spoiled sport I tumbled down your staircase And I'm taking you to court If that court don't bust you, mama I'll take you to the one that will 'Cause I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love My arm and first 3 fingers Are in a plaster glove I would not be on morphine I swear by god above I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love If that cop don't bust you baby I'll take you to the one that will 'Cause I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love The coffee at the hospital Was a low-down nasty sludge I got 19 compound fractures, baby Talkin' to the judge If that judge don't bust you, mama I'll take you to the one that will But I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love
