Durasi: 3:11
[00:18.50]I always live by the, golden rule
[00:22.11]Whatever happens, ha, don't blow your cool!
[00:26.69]You gotta have nerves of steel
[00:30.21]And never show folks how you, honestly feel
[00:34.72]I lived all my life this way, ha
[00:39.20]For example, take yesterday:
[00:43.83]I breeze home happy bringin' her my pay
[00:48.35]Her note read ...so long savvy, I haven't gone away!
[00:51.90]An' I threw myself down across our empty bed
[00:56.42]An' this is what I said:
[01:00.92]Ooo shhhhiiiii ooow ooow ooow
[01:08.25]What? Oh what are you gonna do with me?
[01:11.82]Ooo wow uh
[01:14.56]But I was cool!
[01:19.00]So I "one for the roaded" at a all night bar
[01:22.69]I wound up so loaded, I tore up my car
[01:27.15]The judge threw the book at me,
[01:28.98]An' when I read, the sentence there, I said:
[01:35.39]"Oow! Please oooow ooow, please I got to know, I got to know
[01:44.35]What? what went wrong?
[01:46.14]I don't underst... I oh a,
[01:49.74]But I was cool!
[02:27.74]So I said she's the only one, that I have to pay
[02:31.35]And I found her an' pulled my gun, an' fired point blank
[02:35.88]The shot whistled right past that woman's head
[02:40.34]An' I killed my hound dog, dead!
[02:45.81]Oooooow, ruff ruff, rrr, rrr, rrr, rur, rur, rur
[02:53.97]As they carried me away
[02:55.72]I was overheard to say,
[02:57.52]"Be cool, be cool, stay cool, be cool!"
