My Buddy’s Warlock®

VERSE 1

Way back in ninety-three

I got my high school degree

So Mom bought me an

Awesome new Twanger.

Then she told me: “Son,

Be out by September 1.

I just took a job out in Sanger.”

VERSE 2

I found a one room deal.

Which came with one square meal.

Kinda like at home

Without the drama.

Then the rent came due,

I pawned my Twanger, so blue.

Guess life wasn’t bad with my Mama.

CHORUS

And when my Twanger’s in hock,

I play my buddy’s Warlock®.

Even when I'm draggin that slide. 

Call me the sultan of shread.

We'll tour with RivetHead. 

I feel like I’m Jekyll and Hyde.

VERSE 3

You know I practiced hard.

With almost ze-ro regard

To the sac-rifice,

Made by true artists.

And in no time flat,

I rocked a camouflage hat,

Lots of choices, some not the smartest.

CHORUS

And when my Twanger’s in hock,

I play my buddy’s Warlock®.

Even when I'm draggin that slide. 

Call me the sultan of shread.

We'll tour with RivetHead. 

I feel like I’m Jekyll and Hyde.

VERSE 4

The fella’s in the band

Sure didn’t understand

Why the pawn broker

Still had my Twanger.

(They said:) “We gave you a try

And you’re a nice enough guy.

Here's your pink slip. Don't be a stranger."

CHORUS

And when my Twanger’s in hock,

I play my buddy’s Warlock®.

Even when I'm draggin that slide. 

Call me the sultan of shread.

We'll tour with RivetHead.

I feel like I’m Jekyll and Hyde.

VERSE 5

I ran a craigslist ad,

And found a band that’s rad,

Who are fine with me

Warlock® and all.

I was out of place.

Now groupies show up in lace,

When we play the Head Banger’s Ball.

CHORUS

And when my Twanger’s in hock,

I play my buddy’s Warlock®.

Even when I'm draggin that slide. 

Call me the sultan of shread.

We'll tour with Rivet Head.

I feel like I’m Jekyll and Hyde.

VERSE 6

She came to me at last

With gorgeous green eyes, she asked,

Whether love, for the,

Long term, was likely?

I said:  “That de-pends.

When fillies need a boy-friend,

There's an open-ing, for a 'wifey'".               [Note: Wifey is a term of endearment coined by rocker Ted Nugent to refer to fans who desire a long term relationship.]

CHORUS

And when my Twanger’s in hock,

I play my buddy’s Warlock®.

Even when I'm draggin that slide. 

Call me the sultan of shread.

We'll tour with RivetHead 

I feel like I’m Jekyll and Hyde

CLOSING CHORUSES

The old band talks revival.

Their promises are several,

Like it's cool to sing my own song.

It once was: "Focus on chord strumming!"

Now I'm Randy's second coming.

A blind man could see they were wrong.

Though we're loved by the voters

We're held back by the promoters

Who always seem to oppose.

While my style is slick as gravy.

Rammstein still thinks we're too heavy.

To play the lead off at their shows.

The End
