"Gentleman" lyrics

"Gentleman"

This old middle finger
Has grown fat and tired
From flicking the bird
My mouth had grown crankerous
From spitting dirty words

I feel like a string out snuffaluffaguss
On the south side wearing Vietnamese cowboy clothes
And I found out the hard way
That the pathway to her heart is not through her nose

I'm tired of being rude
Ticked off drunk and crude
My woman can't bring me home to ma
Cause I'm the dude

Got fired for swinging this beer
Need to wipe this ugly sneer
My woman can't bring me home to pa
Cause I am too weird

And she wants a gentleman
Nothing more
Just a gentle friend

It's getting hard to lie through my teeth
Cause they rotted out and they're not all there
I need my old man to wash my mouth with soap
And my mother to scrub this nasty hair

Why the fuck is a munchkin on the highway
Jumping a trash can in a Congolese cowboy clothes
And like a deer transfixed by headlight
The bumper crushed his head while I God damn froze

I'm tired of being rude
Ticked off drunk and crude
My woman can't bring me home to ma
Cause I'm the dude

Got fired for swinging this beer
Need to wipe this ugly sneer
My woman can't bring me home to pa
Cause I am too weird

I'm tired of being rude
Ticked off drunk and crude
My woman can't bring me home to ma
Cause I'm the dude

Got fired for swinging this beer
Need to wipe this ugly sneer
My woman can't bring me home to pa
Cause I am too weird

And she wants a gentleman
Nothing more
Just a gentle friend
Nothing less than a gentleman
Nothing more just a gentleman
Nothing less than a gentle friend
Nothing more
Just a gentle friend
Nothing less than a gentleman
Than a gentleman
Than a gentleman
A gentleman
A gentleman
A gentleman

God help
God help
God help

C'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon
Yeah, yeah

Just a gentleman
Just a gentleman

C'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon
Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah
Just a gentleman

Yeah, yeah

Just a gentleman
Just a gentleman
Just a gentleman

C'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
