Singin'
Bif Naked Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Singing's a fine lively hood. The only one I got. Struggled to make the rent sometimes since termination of the day job. Kinda weird my workday starts when the sky is cool and black. But I guess I should figure out a plan. What! I should fall back. I could take up auto body, and work in some guy's shop. Fix'n bitch'n hot rods, I sure like cars a lot. Perhaps ill study law, be a public defender. But ill need a lot of Maalox, couldn't take the pressure. Would you like me for your vet??? Or your doctor who examines you? Lady luck I met, so your ass should say...PHEWW. But ill just do what I do, cause I like it a whole lot. Signing's a fine lively hood, it's the only one I got.
