Legend In My Spare Time
Bloodhound Gang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ashes to ashes and funks to funky
Daddy Long Legs is a mean ass honky
And Jimmy Pop ain't no heiny hobbit gaybe
Ain't no big meaty chunks in my thick brown gravy

'Cause I'm a Loch Ness a Loch Ness a Loch Ness monster
Jerry's Kids are knockin' at my door, "Could you be a sponsor?"
Tiny Bubbles in my tub pull my finger Lawrence Welk
If you want to look like Rocky Dennis better drink your milk

When I'm feeling Oriental I gotta rub my chin
I'm gonna hold my water in like I'm Gunga Din
So have a taste of my bass cause the girlies got smiles
You get on my case like the Rockford Files

Crazy Eddie in the slammer cause he's giving it all away
John Boy in the barn with a horse in the hay
No rhyme no reason no job no class
And we don't go near the ghetto 'cause they'd shoot our ass

Go go yeah yeah huh what?
I'm a legend in my spare time

If you ain't ever been to the suburbs
Don't you ever come to the suburbs
'Cause you wouldn't understand the suburbs
'Cause I'm a huskin' a huskin' a huskin' your corn

I'm as deep as a plot to a gay porn
So Uh-Oh Spaghettios I forgot to hide away the body
I know that she's a hotty but damn that girl could party
So come to me momma it ain't no crime

I'm a skilled love doctor growlin' "What's your sign?"
Did the Flamin' Waffle with Ho Chi Min
Your girl's a dollar bill 'cause we don't know where she's been
J.F.K.'s head's a puzzle and your woman needs a muzzle

Barbara Eden in the bottle and now I'm gonna guzzle
You're too what? Shy shy huh what?
Hush hush yea? I knew why
'Cause we're playing the Palladium can't get on Star Search

Daddy Legs standing tall he can do the Funky Lurch
And Jimmy Jimmy Pop is short for Jimmy Jimmy Popular
You know I know you know your not the tough guy that I thought you were

Go go yeah yeah huh what?
I'm a legend in my spare time

'Cause I wopbobaloobop
Ha cha cha chatch
Come lick my balls
Vive la my crotch

'Cause your daddy thinks I'm lazy your momma thinks I'm crazy
But neither of them know that you are carrying my baby
And I'm the Amos I'm the Andy I'm the sticky Aunt Jemammy
I gave you mouth to mouth like Resuscitation Annie

It takes two of us to do this like Dean Martin Jerry Lewis
And your throat is swollen glory holen ya blew us
George Burns, pacemaker beats steady slow and low
That's why we got more hits then a dealer at a Dead show





Go go yeah yeah huh what?
I'm a legend in my spare time
