You're Bbbreathin' so hard that you need a respirator
FThinkin' 'bout the nights when you did the mashed patater
You Bbbetter do it now, 'cause you'll Cnever do it laterF

You used to paint the town, but you ain't in a condition
You're Bblivin' in a one man state of prohibition
FGot to shake a leg, got to make it your ambition
To Bbgo and get your hands around a Cpint of exhibitionBb
