Wow, I haven't listened to that one in years. It's one I didn't re-buy as a CD/MP3. Drat now you're going to make me buy it again.
"I'm so horny the crack of dawn better be careful around me." He had some great lines. Not sure I'd call that one poetic but it sure makes me laugh.
....Emotional Weather Report. Yes it's all coming back to me now.
... Eggs and Sausage
... Warm beer and cold women
Off to re-buy another album.
