He danced like a cat on fire, a hell-fire cockamamie idjit galoot evangelist
Who fell off both the turnip truck and the tracks
Martha's muffin stuffin' sumbitch who wasn't looking for redemption
NKM jr. was Danville reared and like Wendell before him he raced out of town
But he ripped off the rearview 'cause he never looked back
Bellied up to the bar as a stranger but left with another roomful of friends
Buying him shots and singing along about lousy banks and screwy trends
Infused Rockabilly with a wild eyed punk energy
Heir apparent to Lehrer's satirical sarcasm, truth even if you disagree
With Roper, then Country Dick, Jello & Doe hell nearly everyone and anyone
Who wanted to join the show
Even Henley who he skewered couldn't resist his charm and they became
Friendly (or somethin' close to it)
Sweatin' screamin' howlin' & droolin'
Sweatin' screamin' howlin' & droolin'
Sweatin' screamin' howlin' & droolin'
Muckraking, no-prisoner-taking, top-of-his-lungs provocating
All sides of every lyin' stealin' politicians fence
Didn't give a damn where you came from if you joined in the nonsense
Never got to go for a ride with Lisa Marie in a '67 Ford Fairlane coupe
Had to settle for Madonna wannabes and a big titty redhead to stupe
Got married at a go-kart track in the South Bay
You get a girl to marry you at a go-kart track that's a woman that stays
Beanie weanies with cheese whiz served at the reception
Pecker tied to his thigh he's now sittin' stark raving naked on a barstool
In Heaven's best dive
Jesus finally buying him beer as he practices his Elvis sneer in a dirty mirror
Waiting to shake the King's hand now that he's arrived
Great googly moogly
Great googly moogly
Great googly moogly
