Ballad of My Old Man Lyrics by Killdozer

Little Baby Buntin’

1987

Me and my old man lived down in Decatur
He worked most of his life at the grain elevator
Yeah, he worked there for over 30 years
After work he'd go out and he'd pound down some beers
Some evenings he'd go playing cards with a few of his pals
At night, they'd go downtown and they'd rouse up some gals
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
One afternoon, the exact day I forget
Inside the elevator, someone lit a cigarette
The dust in the air just up and exploded
Along with the elevator and the trucks being loaded
Everyone but my old man were blown to kingdom come
He was left with a face that looked like chewed bubble gum
Haw haw haw haw haw haw haw
Haw haw haw haw haw haw haw
Haw haw haw haw haw haw haw
Haw haw haw haw haw haw haw
His looks don't bother him, now in the least
With a sack on his head, he's still a sexual beast
His pals are all gone now, but he doesn't mind
'Cause when it came to playing cards they were all the cheating kind
Everyone but my old man, blown from Decatur to kingdom come
The kids on the street just call him Mr. Bubble Gum
La la la la la la la la la
La di da da dum, lolli-lolli-lollipop
