...But I Was Cool!

I always live by the golden rule

Whatever happens ha don't blow your cool

You gotta have nerves of steel

And never show folks how you honestly feel

I lived all my life this way ha

For example take yesterday

I breeze home happy bringin' her my pay

Her note read so long savvy I haven't gone away

An' I threw myself down across our empty bed

An' this is what I said

Ooo shhhhiiiii ooow ooow ooow

What Oh what are you gonna do with me

Ooo wow uh

But I was cool

So I"one for the roaded" at a all night bar

I wound up so loaded I tore up my car

The judge threw the book at me

An' when I read the sentence there I said

"Oow Please oooow ooow please I got to know I got to know

What what went wrong

I don't underst I oh a

But I was cool

So I said she's the only one that I have to pay

And I found her an' pulled my gun an' fired point blank

The shot whistled right past that woman's head

An' I killed my hound dog dead

Oooooow ruff ruff rrr rrr rrr rur rur rur

As they carried me away

I was overheard to say

"Be cool be cool stay cool be cool"
