Primus - Hats Off lyrics

When I was born, the doc he held me by my ankles<br>Smacked my red behind.<br>They hosed me down, wrapped me like a bean burrito<br>Then marked the date and time.<br><br>Hats off, to the ones that string the beads together<br>And keep the ducks in line.<br>Hats off to all the ones that stood before me<br>And taught a fool to rhyme.<br><br>At thirteen, I made myself a motion picture<br>Out of lumps of clay.<br>At fourteen, I pulled some weeds and bought a four string<br>Taught myself to play.<br>At seventeen, I'd get naked with a beauty queen<br>At the hot tub zone.<br>At nineteen, she was livin' hard and snortin' drugs<br>That decayed her bones.<br><br>Hats off to the ones that put it all together<br>And keep their ducks in line.<br>Hats off to all the ones that erred before me<br>And taught me how to survive.
