I was feelin' bout a half past dead (dead)

I just need some place

Where I can lay my head (head)

Hey mister can you tell me where a girl might find a bed??

He just grinned and shook my hand

And 'no' was all he said



Take a load off Fannie

Take a load for free

I picked up my bag

I went lookin' for a place to hide

When I saw Carmen and the devil

Walkin' side by side
