Yeah, one of 'em... Yeah, one of them nice breezy motherfuckers.

Niggaare. What you're lookin' for, niggaare? Oh hold it, stop.

Her name is, oh Lord, Cloreen.
She's just fat, hit me.

Too nasty. I said now big dumb, you... You... Bacon Skin
Just fat, but you know where it's at.
I wish you was thin, Cloreen Bacon Skin.

Brotch, you can't fuck with that, look out.
And the band said... And look out, said...
Wait a minute, I said... Bacon Skin, hit me.
S***. Don't touch noth. Don't you touch snare or cymbal.
You just tap, good God.

I wanna sing to this girl. I said baby, wait a minute.
When we're all alone, we try to make love.
Somebody call you on the phone.
I don't know what his name is, but I know... I know this is life.
But that... That's real, baby. You're my wife.
Cloreen Bacon Skin, wait a minute.

Oh good God, I said, wait a minute.
Oh, then the band said nice and breezy, nice and breezy, come on I said.
Once more on the one, come on. And the band said...
That's alright, that's alright.
You old motherfucker, you a senior citizen, look out.
