A Night In the Life of a Swamp Fox

Lyrics

I step off off the aeroplane
 And the hall cuts through my clothes
 Like I was naked
 I walked down to the bagage claim
 And the situation there is what I expected
 My bags were left in Memphis
 And I am standing there wondering what to do?
 When a cat walks up from the local news
 And says: Can I get an interview?
 No, no, no, no I said no, no, no, no
 No, no, no
 Another night in the life of a swamp fox
 We get into a taxi cab and we're late
 So we rush down to the Colosseum
 Promotion man at the front door
 And I can tell no matter what I say
 That I just want to please him
 He said that the tickets are selling to slow
 And now it's starting to rain
 When a cat walks up with a soulful look
 And says: Can you spare some change?
 No, no, no, no he said no, no, no, no
 No baby
 Another night in the life of a swamp fox
 And now we walk out on the stage
 And we get into a thing called Polk Salad Annie
 ...Ungr for some of you never been down south...
 And it's looking like we got it made
 Til it gets to the part where it says
 ...That the 'gators got your granny...
 The people are feeling the music
 And the groove is knocking me out
 When a cat hollers out from the front row
 And says: Can you play it wipe out?
 No, no, no, no I said no, baby
 No, no, no, no
 Another night in the life of a swamp fox
 No, I can't play that song
