THE CRAMPS LYRICS

"Garbageman"

You ain't no punk, you punk
You wanna talk about the real junk?
If I ever slip, I'll be banned
'Cause I'm the garbageman

Well you can't dig me, you can't dig nothin'
Do you want the real thing
Or are you just talkin'?

Do you understand?
I'm the garbageman.

Yeah, somethin' from the garage
And down the driveway
Now get outta your mind
And get outta my way

Now do you understand?
Do you understand?

Louie, louie, louie, lou-i
The bird's the word and do you know why?
You gotta beat it with a stick
You gotta beat it 'til it's thick
You gotta live until you're dead
You gotta rock 'til you see red

Now do you understand?
Do you understand?
I'm the garbageman
Aw, jump on and ride...

Yeah it's just what you need
When you're down in the dumps
One half hillbilly
And one half punk
Big long legs and one big mouth
The hottest thing from the north
To come out of the south

Do you understand?
Do you understand?

Whoo, I can't lose
With the stuff I use
And you don't choose no substitutes
So stick out your can
'Cause I'm the garbageman

Louie, louie, louie, lou-i
The bird's the word and do you know why?
You gotta beat it with a stick
You gotta beat it 'til it's thick
You gotta live until you're dead
You gotta rock 'til you see red

Now do you understand?
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
All right, hop off.
