Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh, I got a busted wing and a hornet sting
Like an out-of-tune guitar
Ooh, she got Hercules on her side
And Diana in her eyes
Some men like the Chinese life
Some men kneel and pray
Ooh, well, I like women and I like wine
And I've always liked it that way
Always liked it that way
[PreChorus]
Doo-wop, shoo-wop
Doo-wop, shoo-wop, shoo-wop, shoo-wop
[Chorus]
Well, I can't dig it
The way she tease
That old tough-man routine
Up her sleeves
Living and loving
Kissing and hugging
Living and loving with a
Cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
[Verse 2]
Oh, well it hurts like hell
To see my girl
Messing with a muscle boy
No Superman's gonna ruin my plans
Playing with my toys
Rich man sweating in a sauna bath
Poor boy
Scrubbing in a tub
Me, I stay gritty up to my ears
Washing in a bucket of mud
Washing in a bucket of mud
[PreChorus]
Doo-wop, shoo-wop
Doo-wop, shoo-wop, shoo-wop, shoo-wop
[Chorus]
I can't dig it
The way she tease
That old tough-man routine
Up her sleeve
Living and loving
Kissing and hugging
Living and loving with a
Cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
[PreChorus]
Doo-wop, shoo-wop
Doo-wop, shoo-wop, shoo-wop, shoo-wop
[Chorus]
But I can't dig it
The way she tease
That old tough-man routine
Up her sleeves
Living and loving
Kissing and hugging
Living and loving with a
Cat named Hercules
[Chorus]
A cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
Oh yeah
