Cloud nine, strawberry wine
hangin' from the heaven's
good god this is oughta sight
Because since my baby left me
I've got a new place to dwell
It's right around the corner in this shabby
downtown hotel
I can drink it early in the mornin' and in the afternoon
I can drink it early in the evenin' or late into the night
Because there's no naggin here, no one wantin' to start a fight
I got lovin' in my eyes and one hand on the moon
You know I've seen it all before, you know that this is nothin' new
I've been around the world and I've got a plan to leave this upcomin' June
Because nobody loves me, this I can tell, so please leave me alone,
let me creep into this concha, because if it looks like a cowry shell or a pussycat,
it is alright by me
So let me sip my sherry, drink my wine and wrestle with my chablis, because
if I'm in this kinda' mood there's no tellin' what will happen
If you decide to step into the ring, I can tell you this, you are in for one hell of a tussle
So just don't sit there, stand-up and show me what you got,
no need to be pussyfootin' around, put up your dukes and bring them to the table,
who the hell do you think you are, Clark Gable
Because I ain't no movie star, no not even close,
but I will teach you a lesson boy, I will give you a poke
Because fightin's not so hard, it's somethin I learned as a kid
one step to the right, one step to the left,
one punch with the right one punch with the left
Sparrin's not hard, in fact it's as easy as pie, but if you want to get serious
you're in for another deal
I'll hammer you in the head and I'll knock out a piece of your lung
Fightin' is serious business and I ain't no chump
So I think that it's best that you reconsider and get the hell out of here
My temper is flarin' and my patience is gettin' thin,
so I think it would be good for you to start walkin' before it is time to run
Takein' a beating is not good for anyone son, I have given you a warnin'
I would rather not make a big mess outta you
