Ooh I got a busted wing and a hornet sting
                         C F C F C F C G/B
Like an out of tune guitar
Am                   G/B C
Ooh she got Hercules on her side
                    G
And Diana in her eyes

Some men like the Chinese life
                      C F C F C F C G/B
Some men kneel and pray
Am                    G/B C
Ooh well I like women and I like wine
                                G
And I've always liked it that way
F C/E   G/D      C     G
Always liked it that way
D              G
I can't dig it, the way she tease
D                         G
That old tough man routine up her sleeve
C                  D
Living and loving, kissing and hugging
Em                       C         G
Living and loving with a cat named Hercules

Playing with my toys

Poor boy scrubbing in a tub
