Don't give me any lip son 
Don't give me any grief 
I've been around the block and back from Maine to Tenaris
Yeah and I've got my act together, ok it's just an act
But it's served me well for a long, long time 
Here's my secret Jack:

You need a real long finish that never quits 
like English treacle on hominy grits 
a buttery flavor that goes on and on 
with a hint of grease and a nose too long
you've got to do it your own way on cigarettes and bad chardonnay 
yes cigarettes, yes cigarettes and bad chardonnay 

Ba-ba-ba-bop-a-ba-ba-bop-a bad chardonnay 

(It's all badIt's all good) 

Well I've seen this mighty continent 
From the back seat of a van 
Well the scenery just disappears like the members of your band 
From LA across to New York, Seattle to New Orleans 
On rocket fuel and gasoline and everything in between

You need a real long finish that never quits
like English toffee on hominy grits 
a buttery flavor that goes on and on
with a hint of grease and a nose too long

you've got to do it your own way on cigarettes and bad chardonnay 
yes cigarettes, yes cigarettes, and bad chardonnay 

Ba-ba-ba-bop-a-ba-ba-bop-a bad chardonnay 
Ba-ba-ba-bop-a-ba-ba-bop-a bad chardonnay 
Ba-ba-ba-bop-a-ba-ba-bop-a bad chardonnay 

Well I've hit the bottom many times 
And it's not always that bad 
In fact, it's kind of comforting like a friend you never had 
When the walls collapse around you and kaleidoscope explodes 
You feel so small and meaningless you finally let go 

You need a real long finish that never quits 
like English treacle on hominy grits 
a buttery flavor that goes on and on 
with a hint of grease and a nose too long 
you've got to do it your own way on cigarettes and bad chardonnay 
yes cigarettes, yes cigarettes and bad chardonnay 
yes cigarettes, yes cigarettes and bad chardonnay 

Ba-ba-ba-bop-a-ba-ba-bop-a bad chardonnay 
Ba-ba-ba-bop-a-ba-ba-bop-a bad chardonnay 

(It's all badIt's all good)
