I'd like to introduce you to the Coral Reefer Band, right now
We've got the band and the taxi squad out for this one
So, uh, we'll start over there, the, uh, man in the red shirt, who, uh
It is always a pleasure to have when we can get him away from all his many duties
From, uh ... from Malibu, California, Mr. Michael Utley right there
Look at that shirt
And on the piano, from Spivey's Corner, North Carolina, Mr. Jay Spell
And on the harmonica, putting three of these lines in my eyes, from Jackson, Mississippi, Mr. "Fingers" Taylor
The Blues Boy
And on the drums, keeping us all together on occasion, from Nashville, Tennessee, Mr. Kenneth Buttrey back there, but better known as Buck
And on the bass, the "Soul Pumpkin" from Madeira Beach, Florida, Mr. Harry Dailey right there
And from Decatur, Georgia, singing with us, Ms. Deborah McColl
Look at those shoes
We have a name for them, but I can't say it
And on the guitar over there, the curse of Hertz Rent-A-Car, playing like crazy over there, from Nashville, Tennessee, Mr. Barry Chance right there
You know, people ask me sometimes, they say, uh, interview, I do these interviews occasionally, they go, "Well, uh, which way is your music heading?", I say, "South"
ย
And the other one is, uh, "Well, how can you write those real sensitive songs and then write that real trash, you know?"
I said, "Well, I can be very sensitive on occasions and be real trashy on others"
One trashy occasion was right here in Atlanta, Georgia, where the, uh, whole nucleus of this next song came from
Sitting in the Marriott Hotel one late afternoon, early one morning, I don't know, watching this lady of the evening try to pick up a salesman from Tuskegee, Alabama
And he dropped in a spaghetti and it just flowed like this
ย
I really do, appreciate, the fact you're, sittin' here
Your voice sounds, so wonderful
But your face, don't look too clear
So, barmaid, bring a pitcher
Another round of brew
Well, honey, why don't we get drunk, and screw?
ย
Yeah, why don't we get drunk, and screw?
Well, I just bought, a waterbed, it's filled up with Elmer's Glue
They say you are a snuff queen, honey, I don't think that's true
So, why don't we get drunk and screw?
Alright, boys and girls, let's swing
ย
Yeah, now, why don't we get stoned, and screw?
Oh, I tried that
ย
I just want a little good Columbian herb
And we'll smoke it all, me and you
After all the of that shit
If either one of us can move
Well, honey, why don't we get drunk and screw?
Yeah, now, baby, I say
Why don't we get drunk and screw?
Aw, yeah
ย
Thank you, culture freaks
ย
Thank you
