lyrics
WILLIE BROOKS (Walsh)
Stole the queen from an angry hive
You got to do what you do to survive
She got the brains you got the looks
You can't talk like Willie Brooks
No no no
No no no
Picked her up after school
Ain't that something ain't that cool?
Get your head back inside them books
You can't talk like Willie Brooks
No no no
No no no
Ain't that what you said?
Fell asleep behind the wheel
Woke him up in a cotton field
This pot of greens got too many cooks
You can't talk like Willie Brooks
No no no
No no no
Take a man to his grave
Make him sing like a servant slave
That's the plan of jackass crooks
You can't talk like Willie Brooks
No no no
No no no
No no no
Stole the queen from an angry hive
You got to do what you do to survive
She got the brains you got the looks
You can't talk like Willie Brooks
No no no
No no no
Picked her up after school
Ain't that something ain't that cool?
Get your head back inside them books
You can't talk like Willie Brooks
No no no
No no no
Ain't that what you said?
Fell asleep behind the wheel
Woke him up in a cotton field
This pot of greens got too many cooks
You can't talk like Willie Brooks
No no no
No no no
Take a man to his grave
Make him sing like a servant slave
That's the plan of jackass crooks
You can't talk like Willie Brooks
No no no
No no no
No no no
