SWITCHBLADE MAN
WORDS & MUSIC: HANK “HOLY ROLLER” RAY
EDITION JUMAR MUSIC, 1987
When the day is over and there is no more work to do
I put on my shiny shoes and my Sunday suit
I stroll along the avenue down to the park
See the boys and girls a-turtle dovin’ in the dark
I watch them a-huggin’ and a-kissin’ too
That’s when my mind is gone ‘cause I’ve blown the fuse
The girls all laugh say I’m ugly as sin
But once they’ve felt my blade they’d never laugh again
SWITCHBLADE MAN…oh yeah, that’s what I am
I’m a SWITCHBLADE MAN…oh yeah, that’s what I am
I had a date with Mary Jane
But when she laughed I took the blade again
It felt so good when she slipped away
With her mouth wide open and her face turned red
SWITCHBLADE MAN…oh yeah, that’s what I am
I’m a SWITCHBLADE MAN…oh yeah, that’s what I am
Now a raging mob is on my trail
They surely want to take my life away
I see a lot angry faces filled with hate
But before they’re gonna catch me I’m gonna use my blade
I’m a SWITCHBLADE MAN…oh yeah, that’s what I am
SWITCHBLADE MAN…oh yeah, that’s what I am
I’m a SWITCHBLADE MAN…oh yeah, that’s what I am
I’m a SWITCHBLADE MAN…oh yeah, that’s what I am
