[Intro]
Aw yeah
[Verse 1]
Stand here ev'ry night
I'm wearin' my number
But she said wear it
Touching up another fool
In a jukebox job downin' blues
In her leopard-skin anklehigh boots
While I'm jackin' off
Readin' Playboy on a hot afternoon, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm a three-time loser
Caught it up in Monterey
Shook it up in East Virginia
Now my friends say it's here to stay
Now listen
[Verse 2]
How dare you have a party
In a Chelsea basement, yeah
When the poor excited Jezebel said, "Come outside"
She felt me up and kissed my face
Put her dirty hands down in my pants
She took all of my money
Left me naked by the silvery moon
[Chorus]
I'm a three-time loser
Caught it up in Monterey
Shook it up in East Virginia
Now my friends say it's here to stay
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Roll away, roll away, all of you women
I don't think I need you anymore
There'll be no more doctor's bills
There'll be no more swallowing pills
And I've found a woman
That can witness that in blood out of me
[Chorus]
I'm a three-time loser
Caught it up in Monterey
Shook it up in East Virginia
Now my friends say it's here to stay
I'm a three-time loser
Caught it up in Monterey
Shook it up in East Virginia
Now my friends say it's here to stay
Aw yeah
[Verse 1]
Stand here ev'ry night
I'm wearin' my number
But she said wear it
Touching up another fool
In a jukebox job downin' blues
In her leopard-skin anklehigh boots
While I'm jackin' off
Readin' Playboy on a hot afternoon, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm a three-time loser
Caught it up in Monterey
Shook it up in East Virginia
Now my friends say it's here to stay
Now listen
