[4/4, mod. tempo but sleazy]
DEAD STRIPPER IN THE MORNING
--J. Wrabek
1.
I used to get advice from the radio
‘Bout dealing with the problems in my life
But lately, all the songs I hear
Are about pickup trucks and drinking beer
And hanging out with girls who wear
Their clothes a little tight;
Now, I’ve partied until dawn a lot of mornings
Passed out on a hundred country roads
But trucks and beer is prob’ly how
I got the trouble I’m in now
And there’s other things a fellow needs to know…
CHORUS:
What do you do with a dead stripper in the morning?
How do you thank her for the night before?
And tell her family and friends
It really was an accident
And at least she don’t be doing that any more?
Should you tell the po-lice how you found the body?
And that Tiger Lily prob’ly ain’t her name?
Should you clean things up a little bit--
Maybe wipe away the fingerprints—
And should you take back the money that you paid?
2.
Should you send her remains to the Yukon?
It’s cold there—she’d look good a real long time
And if they got tired of her being there
They could feed her to the polar bears
I bet the other Canadians wouldn’t mind;
Could she vote if I mailed her to Chicago?
Could she be a movie extra in L.A.?
The radio is silent here—
They just talk their trucks and drinking beer
And never about the one that got away…
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Those radio stars are the best of us
Role models for the rest of us
They waltz through life like nothing could go wrong;
But if they keep drinking like that, they’ll be
In difficulties just like me—
How come it’s never mentioned in a song?
CHORUS
REPEAT LAST 3 LINES OF CHORUS TO END
