VERSES:

Got in the car even though I was sauced

Dropped her off before all hope was lost

A blur to the left of me, a blur to the right

A bridge in the middle, CRASH

I'm Ted Kennedy, oh yeah, got a blonde

sittin' next to me, oh yeah (2x)

Drove her off into the brink

Thought I'd let that, automobile sink

Broke open the door swam to the shore

Thought I let em find her the very next morn

You think you're pullin me over nigga, youre mistaken

In case you haven't heard Im part of that, Senatorial Bacon

A ticket from you wouldn't do no good,

Cause Im from the deep south like all good boys should

You might think that Im old and grey

But when it comes to women, there's just no way

I've got my own unique point of view

You should know cause I'm comin after you

Thought long and hard, bout what I would say

So I told em she deserved it anyway

Left her in the river, so she would rot

And never gave it any afterthought

CHORUS and fade

"The trumpet man, the trumpet man, everybody give

it to the trumpet man"--Cabeso
