Billy Clifford - Bad Tattoo Blues

Intro: verse 1 She wandered in when I was working the bar And I said hey there sugar tell me how you are And what I gotta do to call you on the telephone She said well you’re kinda cute In a Hawaiian shirt and those cowboy boots But you’re probably better off to just leave me alone verse 2 She had a butterfly behind one ear And a hummingbird near here derriere And a tramp stamp with ambiguous Chinese characters She had a dragon disappearing up one sleeve And I hope to God that I’m not naive But I believe on her ankle was the Virgin of Guadalupe I’m lookin’ for that girl with bad tattoos That’s what I need to chase away these blues I’m lookin’ for that girl with bad tattoos Maybe baby that’s what I like about you verse 3 One slender leg had a unicorn There was Jesus with a crown of thorns And a funny little moustache on the side of one finger She had kites and a cross and books and bells And a march hare that looked like hell And on one shoulder there was Elvis verse 4 I said “Hey, you’re like a work of art” And she said, “Mmhmmm, maybe so, but you’re not too smart.” You push your luck you know it pushes back! I told you once “leave me alone so NO You can’t call me on the telephone Believe me, you’re as charming as a heart attack!” I’m lookin’ for that girl with bad tattoos That’s what I need to chase away these blues I’m lookin’ for that girl with bad tattoos Maybe baby that’s what I like about you
