Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ah, the Lord is a monkey
Thanksgiving's coming on the Fourth of July
In the form of a girl with a needle in her eye
Well, she come from out west on a nickel worth of gas
Got her mind on her money and her dope up her ass
Outside of Phoenix she was broke down
Burned a cracker-boy rig and she was out of that town
[Verse 2]
Oh
Well, she was a Hare Krishna in the Ashram Bed
She was sellin' get sky and had funky-ass hair
She done pooed in my mouth and she threw me in the bed
Where she cut off my balls an she sewed 'em to my head
Now she's headin' back east in a '67 Caddy
Got her mind on her money and a dope for her daddy
[Verse 3]
Well, I met her on the street where she beat me like a fool
Then she got me accepted to an Ivy League school
Well, I real did good but it's kickin' my ass
I lost thirty-eight pounds and my eye turned to glass
Well, she's lookin' pretty good, first week in July
She's got her dope up her ass and a needle in her eye
[Verse 4]
Ah
[Verse 5]
Thanksgiving's coming on the Fourth of July
In the form of a girl with a needle in her eye
Well, she come from out west on a nickel worth of gas
Got her mind on her money and her dope up her ass
