Honest
Bob and Doug McKenzie Lyrics

Well, I'm stranded in the city that never sleeps
I am currently stuck in a bustling city that never seems to rest.

Some of these women they just give me the creeps
I find some of the women around here unsettling or even scary.

I'm avoidin' the Southside the best I can
I'm doing my best to stay away from the Southside of town.

These memories I got, they can strangle a man
I have some very painful memories that can be overwhelming and suffocating.

Well, I came ashore in the dead of the night
I arrived in this place secretly and under the cover of darkness.

Lot of things can get in the way when you're tryin' to do what's right
Many obstacles can arise when you're attempting to do the correct thing.

You don't understand it, my feelings for you
You don't comprehend the depth of my emotions towards you.

You'd be honest with me if only you knew
If you were aware of my true feelings, you would be truthful with me.

I'm not sorry for nothin' I've done
I don't regret anything I've done in the past.

I'm glad I fought, I only wish we'd won
I'm proud that I stood up and fought for something, but I do wish we had emerged as the victors.

The Siamese twins are comin' to town
The famous Siamese twins will soon be arriving in our town.

People can't wait, they're gathered around
Many individuals are eagerly awaiting their arrival and have already congregated in anticipation.

When I left my home the sky split open wide
The moment I departed my home, it felt as though the sky was tearing apart.

I never wanted to go back there, I'd rather have died
I had no desire to return there and would have rather died than go back.

My woman got a face like a teddy bear
My significant other has facial features that remind me of a teddy bear.

She's tossin' a baseball bat in the air
She's currently throwing a baseball bat up into the air.

The meat is so tough you can't cut it with a sword
The meat is incredibly tough, so it's impossible to cut through it with a sword.

I'm crashin' my car, trunk first into the boards
My car is involved in a serious accident, with the back end ramming into some boards.

You say my eyes are pretty and my smile is nice
You've told me that you find my eyes to be beautiful and my smile pleasant.

Well, I'll sell it to ya at a reduced price
I'm willing to offer you a significant discount on these physical features that you admire.

Some things are too terrible to be true
There are some situations which are so awful that it's difficult to believe they're real.

I won't come here no more if it bothers you
If it irritates you that I come here, then I won't do so anymore.

The Southern Pacific leaving at nine forty-five
The Southern Pacific train will be departing at precisely 9:45.

I'm having a hard time believin' some people were ever alive
I find it difficult to believe that some individuals who existed in the past were ever truly alive.

I'm stark naked, but I don't care
I'm currently undressed and completely exposed, but I'm not concerned.

I'm going off into the woods, I'm huntin' bare
I'm venturing off into the woods to hunt game without any clothes or protection.

I care so much for you, didn't think that I could
I have an incredibly strong attachment and concern for you, which I didn't believe was possible.

I can't tell my heart that you're no good
My emotions and attachment towards you are so strong that I cannot accept that you may not be a positive influence in my life.

Well, my parents they warned me not to waste my years
My parents cautioned me against squandering my time and not making the most of my years.

And I still got their advice oozing out of my ears
I'm still being influenced by my parents' guidance and advice, and it's become so ingrained in me that I can't escape it.
