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
