"Guv'ment" lyrics

Guv'ment

Well, you dad-gum government
You sorry so and so's
You got your damn hands
In every pocket of my clothes

Well you dad-gum, dad-gum
Dad-gum government
Oh don't you know
Oh don't you love me sometimes

Well you dad-gum government
You better pay attention
You're sitting up there
Like a fool's convention

Well you dad-gum, dad-gum
Dad-gum government
Oh don't you know
Oh don't you love me sometimes

Well you soul selling no-good
Son-of-a-shoe-fitting firestarters
I ought to tear your no good
Perambulatory bone frame
And nail it to your government walls
All of you, you bastards

You da-gum government
You sorry rackafratchits
You got yourself an itch a
And you want me to scratch it

Well you dad-gum, dad-gum
Dad-gum government
Of don't you know
Oh don't you love me sometimes

Well you soul selling no-good
Son-of-a-shoe-fitting firestarters
I ought to tear your no good
Perambulatory bone frame
And nail it to your government walls
All of you, you bastards

You dad-gum government
You sorry so and so's
You got your damn hands
In every pocket of my clothes

Well you dad-gum, dad-gum
Dad-gum government
Oh don't you know
Oh don't you love me sometimes
