Ian Hunter - Man O’war lyrics

(Ian Hunter/Mick Ronson)

I never brush my teeth and I never wash

I guess I never bother with no brush

I don't care about a knife and fork

And don't you argue with the way that I talk

And all you ladies want my autograph

And have you seen my photo, have you seen my photographs....yeah

I hit the city when the sun goes down

I get this feeling that I'm running around

I love virgins, I like 'em petite

Cute little sister won't you sit on me

End up scoring, over 5 dollars down

You don't have to tell me I'm a clown

Cause I'm a bad mother - try me and see

I'm a bad mother - check my I.D.

I'm a bad mother - got nothing to do

If I could spit, I'd spit all over you.

I'm a Man O' War, hey hey

The demon of the semen, I'm a Man O' War

And you know it for sure, yeah

You better get back on your feet, I'm a Man O' War

I tell my woman that I got this disease

She says, "Honey, please, get down on your knees"

"You look so sexy when you sing with the band

Tie me up, tie me up, tie my hand".

How'd you like to do it with the leader of the pack

Cause baby, ain't got the germs and bad seeds back(?)

Cause I'm a bad mother - I get around

I'm a bad mother - I know the sound

I'm a bad mother - nothing to do

If I could spell, I'd put a spell on you

Cause I'm a Man O' War hey hey

Ain't nobody told you I'm a Man O' War

I got a gun for show, yeah

So get up on your feet I'm a Man O' War

(Come on Mickey)

Cause I'm a bad mother - check me and see

I'm a bad mother - I got VD

I'm a bad mother - got nothing to do, oh

If I could spit, I'd spit all over you

I'm a Man O' War hey hey

The demon of the semen, I'm a Man O' War

And you know it for sure, yeah

Oh baby get up on your feet, I'm a Man O' War

I'm a Man O' War, I'm a Man O' War

Give me an image, I'll take it to the limit

I'm a Man O' War, I'm a Man O' War

Mamma's little soldier, I'm a Man O' War

All right, yeah.
