Or Ffeels like she's getting the Cjumps
FShe'll go shoot off her C.38
At Gcans at a Donkey TownC dump.
CIt was Friday late and she crossed those legs

If I could pull up my trailer legs
We couldAm get away together for Fgood.

But she's Gnear as bad as Chim.
CI've been around in Donkey Town
Too long,F Baby, too Clong
FChecking out of CDonkey Town
So Glong, so long, so Clong.
