"Turnpike" Lyrics

Turnpike

We ain't buildin' no houses
We ain't fixin' no cars
We ain't doin' no laundry
We ain't packin' no food into jars
We ain't washin' no dishes
We ain't balin' no hay
We ain't scalin' no fishes
Our work is all done for today

We're gonna get Turnpike stoned
Get Turnpike stoned
Get Turnpike stoned
He likes it
He likes it

He's kinda beat up and surly
He's kinda funky and old
He only does what he wants to
He never does what he's told
He had a thing for the ladies
But that was surgically solved
Now he's fat and he's lazy
Don't like to get involved

So let's,
Get Turnpike stoned
Get Turnpike stoned
He likes it
He likes it

He was only a kitten, we were only some kids out takin' a drive
We saw him cattin' around by the tollbooths at Exit 135
He came right in the car and sat down with us as soon as we opened the door
He came home and moved in with us and we called him "Turnpike", of course

We said let's,
Get Turnpike stoned
Get Turnpike stoned
He likes it
He likes it

He ain't designing no bridges
He ain't flying no planes
He ain't writing no speeches
He ain't dissecting no brains
He ain't delivering no babies
He ain't drilling no teeth
He ain't filing no suits
He ain't wearing no briefs

So let's,
Get Turnpike stoned
Get Turnpike stoned
He likes it
He likes it
