My mother said I am gonna be, the greatest man alive
But now I'm a man, I made 21

The line I shoot will never miss
When I make love to a woman
She can't resist
I think I go down
To old Kansas Stew

Sittin'out at that line

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Don't hurt me, don't hurt me child
Don't hurt me, don't hurt, don't hurt me child
Well, well, well, well
