Lyrics
Nothingville Phony little two-bit town Where nothing's real Treat me like a country clown Nothingville I ain't gonna hang around While the doors keep slammin' in my face People keep puttin' me in my place It's a rat's race at a snail's pace Nothingville Nothingville Nothingville Hurry, folks, step right up, the biggest and the greatest show on the midway Come right on down, I'm feeling right tonight She walks he talks she crawls on her belly like a reptile You can see it for six bits, 75 cents, three- ♪ Big boss man How can't you hear me when I call? Hey, big boss man How can't you hear me when I call? Well, you ain't so big You just tall that's all ♪ Well, you had her working, boss man Working 'round the clock You know she just don't dig it But you won't let that girl stop Big boss man And how can't you hear me when I call? You know you ain't so big You just tall that's all ♪ So I slept in the hobo jungle I roamed a thousand miles of track 'Til I found myself in Mobile, Alabama At a club they call Big Jack's A little four-piece band was jammin' So I took my guitar and I sat in I showed 'em what a band would sound like With a swingin' little guitar man (Show 'em, son) ♪ Come on and buy yourself a ticket and just sit down in the very first row They pulled the curtain then they turned that big ol' spotlight way down low Little Egypt come out struttin' wearing nothin' but a button and a bow Singing Ing Ing Ing Little Egypt ♪ If you're looking for trouble You came to the right place If you're looking for trouble Just look right in my face I was born standing up And talking back My daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack Because I'm evil My middle name is misery Well, I'm evil So don't you mess around with me ♪ I never look for trouble But I never ran I don't take no orders From no kind of man I'm only made out of Flesh, blood and bone You gonna start a rumble don't you try it all alone Because I'm evil My middle name is misery Well, I'm evil So don't you mess around with me ♪ Well, I come a long way from the carwash Got to where I said I'd get Now that I'm here I know for sure I really ain't got there yet So I think I'll start all over Swing my guitar over my back I'm gonna get myself back on the track And I'm never, never gonna look back I'll never be more than what I am Well, wouldn't you know I'm a swinging little Guitar man (Take it home, son, take it home) ♪ (Walk on, baby, walk on) (All right)
