  • AHHH AHHAAA AAAA... (x6)

    Well, once I was persuaded to open up my head
    I told about the was and when, count me wrong instead
    I said, would you believe me, if you only knew
    I been stealing never till this conversation soon

    And the boy cried, hang number three
    Saw him on the front page, laughing of me
    He went in fair ground and a tall hat
    'He's a liar!, he's a liar!'
    A good one at that

    Say what you wanna, Say what you will
    Writes his number on my telephone bill
    Wild like a monkey, kick like a mule
    I could be a beggar, but I rather be, just as cool...
    Aah, aah, aah, aaah

    So I told him all I could about all could they expect
    I lost my sense of smell and I gain my self-respect
    They told me I was curious
    I told them they where slow
    They asked me where I can get that stuff
    I told him I don't know

    And the boy cried whopie-didi
    There's a women with a mustache
    Who won't let me be
    She was born on the money
    She a harmer in form
    'She's a liar!, She's a liar!'
    Like never been born

    Say what you wanna, Say what you will
    Writes his number on my telephone bill
    Wild like a monkey, kick like a mule
    I could be a beggar, but I rather be just as cool...
    Ah, ah, ah, ah...ah, ah, ah, ah

    And the boy cried, hang number three
    Saw him on the front page, laughing of me
    He went in fair ground and a tall hat
    He's a liar!, He's a liar!
    A good one at that

    Say what you wanna, Say what you will
    Writes his number on my telephone bill
    Wild like a monkey, kick like a mule
    I could be a beggar, but I rather be just as cool...
