Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show - Monterey Jack lyrics

(Shel Silverstein)

Monterey Jack woke up in his shack on a Monday

Monterey Jack had a little bitty snack of some elderberry wine

Monterey Jack walked down the track, all the way to ol' Harley's shack

Stuck his knife in ol' Harley's back

And they say that's the way ol' Harley Davison died

1...2...3...4...

Ol' Jack Hoff was gettin' off in a doorway

Ol' Jack Hoff was gettin' off with little Sarah Lee

Ol' Jack Hoff was gettin' off when he mumbled and stumbled and started to cough

And his vein went hard and he went soft

And they say that's the way how ol' Jack Hoff O.G.'d

Spoken:

You mean O.D.

No.... O.G.

Oh man what's that?

That's when you O.D and you say Oh Gee!

1...2...3...4...

Tom McCann was sittin' in the sand by the ocean

Tom McCann looked into his hand and found a jelly-roll

Tom McCann was feelin' grand, all the girls were lickin' his hand

He's a heel but man, oh man, everybody knows that Tom McCann's got soul

Spoken:

Its over

No it ain't

No it ain't either, here it is again

That's really the end
