 You Done Tore Your Playhouse Down

Oohoooooooohooooooooo little girl, little girl

Baby I ain't nothing but your money clown

Ha ha ha

Well you're drinkin' so much now darlin'

I'm afraid you might drown mmm

You're going to wake up one rainy mornin'

and then find you done tore your playhouse down

Now listen baby

You know your eyeballs look like a roadmap

and they're looking two different ways

you got your wig in one hand and your teeth in the other

and you haven't looked this good in days

Better stop that drinkin' baby Oohooooo

Don't you know it's a crying shame

You know you're trying to keep it together

but you done tore your playhouse down again

Lay it on me baby like the rocks on '61 yow yow yow

You said it

Well I asked you to take out the garbage can

You took out the garbage man

You were last seen headin' up Highway 27

With a bottle of gin in your right hand

I'm leaving you baby

This must be your last go around

You know I tried, I tried pretty baby

but you done, but you done tore your, you done tore your,

you done tore your playhouse down again

That's what you did
