Well, I'm goin' out west where the wind blows tall
'Cause Tony Franciosa used to date my ma
They got some money out there, they're giving it away
I'm gonna do what I want and I'm gonna get paid

Do what I want and I'm gonna get paid

Little brown sausages lying in the sand
I ain't no extra, baby, I'm a leading man
Well, my parole officer will be proud of me
With my Olds '88 and the devil on a leash

My Olds '88 and the devil on a leash

I know karate, voodoo too
I'm gonna make myself available to you
I don't need no make up, I got real scars
I've got hair on my chest, I look without a shirt

Well, I don't lose my composure in a high speed chase
Well, my friends think I'm ugly, I got a masculine face
I got some drag strip courage, I can really drive a bed
I'm gonna change my name to Hannibal or maybe just Rex

Change my name to Hannibal or maybe just Rex
