Kinky Friedman - London Homesick Blues

When you're down on your luck 
And you ain't got a buck 
In London, you're a goner 
even London Bridge 
Has fallen down 
And moved to Arizona 
Now I know why 

We'll I'll substantiate the rumor 
That the English sense of humor 
Is drier than the Texas sands. 
You can put up your Dukes 
and you can bet your boots 
I'll be leavin' here as fast as I can. 

I wanna go home with the Armadillo 
Country music from Amarillo and Abilene 
The prettiest women and the friendliest people you ever seen. 

Well, I decided that 
I'd take my cowboy hat 
And go down to the Marble Arch station 
'Cause when a Texan fancies 
that he'll take his chances 
Chances will be taken, 
That's for sure. 

And those Limey eyes 
they were eyeing the prize 
Some people call manly footwear 
'Cause when you're from down South 
When you open your mouth 
You always seem to put your foot there. 

I wanna go home with the Armadillo 
Country music from Amarillo and Abilene 
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you ever seen. 

I wanna go home with the Armadillo 
Country music from the Lone Star Café and Abilene 
The prettiest women and the friendliest people I've ever seen.
