Lyrics and translation

Original

Yeah, said I came from midnight just to sing my song
So come on (come on)
Girl, my magic is sweet and the spell last long
I said so long (so long)
I've been walkin' over thorns and it's rainin' frog
Huh, right on, said right on (right on)
I've been out beyond the valley of the dawn
Don't get me wrong (no, don't get it wrong)
My pedigree and debauchery is my claim to fame (ooh-hoo)
This profane prophecy has got me in it sweet embrace
So I sing my lovesick blues, sip my sour grapes (ooh-hoo)
Hopin' that someday soon I'll get to see your pretty face, uh
That's alright
Well, I slept all night in a hollow log, ooh (ooh-hoo)
I took the meat out the mouth of a rabid dog, rawf
(Who's that?)
I took one but I needed two more (two more, three more)
Yeah, I eat casino breakfast off the kitchen floor
Yeah, want some more? (For sure)
My pedigree and debauchery is my claim to fame (ooh-hoo)
This profane prophecy has got me in it sweet embrace
So I sing my lovesick blues and sip my sour grapes (ooh-hoo)
Hopin' someday soon I'll get to see your pretty face, yeah
Oh, I say lawdy, lawdy, lawdy, girl, what's got into you?
Oh, yeah, said, is this the French Revolution or do you just got the blues?
My pedigree and debauchery is my claim to fame (ooh-hoo)
This profane prophecy has got me in it sweet embrace
So I sing my lovesick blues and sip my sour grapes (ooh-hoo)
Hopin' that someday soon I'll get to see your pretty face
So pretty, oh, but not pretty, listen
Pound of feathers or a pound of lead
Pound of feathers or a pound of lead
Pound of feathers or a pound of lead
Pound of feathers or a pound of lead
Pound of feathers or a pound of lead
Pound of feathers or a pound of lead
