Well, I know you had me starting all over
But, my friend, you’ve suffered a miss
In a teeny cradle like a little tiny baby
And it sounded just a little like this
I said ”Hey!”
I just said “Hey, hey, hey!”
You may want to know the end
But I’m not giving it away
From the used car dealer to the corner store market
I’ve been seen all over the land
Flirting with the ladies and kissing all the babies
And doing whatever I can
Now I said “Hey!”
I want to say “Hey, hey, hey!”
Now there ain’t no need to take it so hard
You’ve been struck by a large lard canard
Am I restless? Yes, and breathless
I’ve been branded
I don’t really want to take it from you, fool
I’ve been passed ‘round I’ve been lied ‘bout
I’ve been riding a little “A” train
And singing out “Hey, hey, hey!”
Am I restless?
Yes, and breathless
I’ve been branded
I don’t really want to take it from you, you fool
I’ve been passed ‘round
I’ve been lied ‘bout
Now I’m riding the slow train
To heaven
Well, my knees start aching and my heart starts breaking
And the world starts quaking and my hands are shaking
‘Cause you won’t stop snaking in the grass, you’re faking
Like a cake your baking if I’m not mistaken
But I won’t be waking in the bed your making
While you still keep taking and I want to say “Hey, hey, hey!”
Yeah, there ain’t no need to take it so hard
You’ve been struck by a large lard canard.
