Lyrics for Crackhouse Blues

Johnny please don't tell the people bout the bluebirds flight Wasting education on a Tuesday night Yes, you are my pussy, you're just being mean Covering up the muscle in your Jordash jeans Stick up the phone, who is it? Someone has come to visit Everybody do the hokey pokey, do the crackhouse blues! Do the mashed potato till your feet glow green Got to sweep the floor to keep the crackhouse clean Took me to the movies, but the doctor said Leave him to get beaten by the black eyed meds Stick up the phone, who is it? Someone has come to visit Everybody do the hokey pokey, do the crackhouse blues! Now the captain ran for cover when the steamboats crashed Driving off the bridges cause they got no class Barbara's got my number, now I've got to run Pizzas to deliver in the crackhouse slum, you know... Sometimes when the night gets hot I search around for the crack I lost I wouldn't expect for you to notice me I would not expect you to say 'Johnny!' Do the mashed potato till your feet glow green Got to sweep the floor to keep the crackhouse clean Took me to the movies, but the doctor said Leave him to get beaten by the black eyed meds Stick up the phone like we do Someone has come to see you Everybody do the hokey pokey, do the crackhouse blues!
