The Country Star


by Jerry Ratch


He's got horns and a tail 

I found him on sale 

He's got snake in his DNA 

Evil in his eye 

And plenty of chicken pot, chicken pot 

Chicken pot pie 

 

But he sure can play piano 

With those giant lobster hands 

In his ratty raccoon coat 

And his old black cowboy hat 

 

I was out on Bunny Lane 

Tryin' to avoid the pain 

That was all around us 

And the rain 

When he started singing his song:  

 

We met at a bar 

We didn't get far 

We went to her car 

Then back to the bar 

 

I played guitar 

She was a rock star 

We met at a bar 

We didn't get far 

 

And he sure could play piano 

With those giant lobster hands 

In his ratty raccoon coat 

And his old black cowboy hat 

 

His boots of Spanish leather 

And his face like sultry weather 

Yeah, he sure could play piano 

With those giant lobster hands
