shootout on the plantation
Singer:leon russell
junior and the drummer are fighting
about a woman in the neighborhood
the drummer never hit a bad lick in his life
and junior never hit any good
the colonel said that women are for loving
but that didn't clear the air
'cause junior's still living in the blackboard jungle
with his elvis presley hair
the drummer's got the drum
the colonel's got the gun
and junior's only got a knife
it's a shootout on the plantation
it's so hard to understand
why do some people have to hurt somebody?
the firewater's not the villain. oh the last one to kiss is the first to shoot
and stabbing your friends is such a drag to boot
it's a shootout on the plantation
yeah. and the cold steel blade is shining
enough to cause your blood to freeze
but the drummer is drumming a rolling stones' number
on junior's head and on his knees
oklahoma's lonesome cowboys are turned on in tinsel town
i knew there'd be some cameras rolling if andy was standing around. won't somebody help me
help me. why don't you help me
why don't you tell me about it?
why don't you scream and shout it?
won't you help your mister?
won't you kiss your sister?
