Lyrics

MARK TWAIN

Mark Twain Rent-a-cat,
Sammy let the kitty out
the Kitty never came back
Mark Twain rent-a-cat
momma loved morals
but pappa loved cats

Walking down the side road
pulled up to the left curb
Waiting for the light change
going to the drug store
Wolfing down a moon pie
soaking up a sunbeam
Picking on a scab that
I got from playing softball
Living like a lightbulb
burning out in six weeks
Got a date at sundown r
ound me up some bullfrog
Wish I had a cold beer
thinking about my best girl
Tell ya later
we?re gonna do the chorus now

(Chorus)

Gotta find some way to live
Gotta save some time to die
Gotta find some way
to make some money today
Or maybe not or maybe not

(Chorus)

Get the soap and wash cloth
climb into the bathtub
Turn on the water ouch
turn it down just a notch
Soap yourself rinse it off
reaching for the shampoo
Rub it into your hair rinse
it out then you?re through
Trying to dry your backside
dripping on the wet floor
Writing dirty words on the
steam that?s on the mirror
Wish I had a cold beer
thinking about my best girls
Tell ya later
we?re gonna do the chorus now

(Chorus)
