Lyrics
Take the train out of Memphis
Hit the booty by 9:00
Looking for something special
And you're so fine, oh-so fine
Gonna take up a cleaver
And drop off all of the beef
Spread it all amongst the fishes
Along the reef, along the reef
So long sugar, but he won't go
So long sugar, but you don't know
So long and I, but you don't know
Why?
Wasted time
