Desert Rat
Turner Crotchkey
when I was a younger man, I ran away to sea
caught scurvy, venereal warts,boils and lice and fleas
I'm headin' for the desert now, a desert rat I'll be
I'm gonna' buy a Quik Mart, and drink eternally
I'll catch rattlesnakes and polecats with only my bare hands
won't never need no shithouse, with miles and miles of sand
