Stop Peckin' My Chrome

from Loose Cannons by The Jolly Rogers

lyrics

Well I was headed to a sware last Saturday night.
Well I was walking out the door, but I had left on the light.
All of a sudden, much to my surprise,
It sounded like my Cadillac was being vandalized!
Well I walked all the way around my big ‘ole Deville,
I call her “Cruella”, my sweet convertible thrill.
On the car I couldn’t find a bump or a dent,
But then I realized I left my cash inside by accident!
Unnerved and frustrated, I was headed back out,
When I heard it again, of that I have no doubt.
Then I saw a little bird, yeah, he was the thumper.
Attacking his reflection in my chromium bumper!
Hey, you! Stop peckin’ my chrome!
Why don’t you shuffle on home, baby,
And just leave me alone!
Well I was working in a bar for less than minimum wage,
The manager was screaming at me, red with rage.
He said, “The ice bin’s almost empty boy, the tap is runnin’ dead,
And the trash is overflowing’, so I stopped him cold and said:
[CHORUS]
Well my girl was chewing off my ear just the other night,
She said, “You trashed my house so nasty, and you don’t treat me right!
You’re playing with your friends every night and every day!
And then I threw my arms up in the air, what else could I say?
[CHORUS]
<Let’s shuffle on home, JP...>
Hey, you! Stop peckin’ my chrome!
Hey, you! Stop peckin’ my chrome!
Why don’t you shuffle on home, baby,
And just leave me alone!
