Birmingham Ho Lyrics by Morten Abel

Being Everything, Knowing Nothing

2003

[Intro]
Okay
Taxi!
[Verse 1]
I met this girl in a Birmingham taxi
I got it first, but she slipped in before me
Just as I was telling her, "Hey this is mine, ho"
She already told the cab driver where to go
Me I always show respect for the ladies
I sat back and let her have it her way
So good lord sees me through darkness and light
I tell you what I remembered from that night
[Verse 2]
"I'm hungry, do you fancy a little something to eat?
I can't go on forever on Cognac and weed"
But she was already on the way down in the seat
I tried to stop her, or maybe I didn't
So there I was in a strange situation
The chauffeur said "I can drop you off at the station"
I said "No man, no don't
I tell you when to stop keep your eyes on the road"
[Chorus]
You don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good okay?
No, you don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good okay?
You don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good okay?
You don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good okay?
[Verse 3]
Two hours later, she was still at it
The driver had to refill gasoline and shit
Baby baby, introduce yourself
What's your name, girl?
[Pre-Chorus]
"My name is Fred"
"Fred?"
"Fred, yeah"
"Fred, a what, a what did you say?"
Now that put me back a bit 'cause I'm not gay
Now that put me back a bit 'cause I'm not gay
[Chorus]
You don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good okay?
No, you don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good okay?
You don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good okay?
You don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good okay?
[Verse 4]
So whatever kind of trouble you might get yourself into
Just think of me that night and what I went through
I thought it was Helen or Marie or whatever, giving me head
Until I realised it was this dude called Fred (Hello)
[Refrain]
And that was a Birmingham Ho
Hey, ho hey, ho hey
And that was a Birmingham Ho
Hey, ho hey, ho hey, ho hey
Take it away now
[Verse 5]
Hold on a minute, that's bullshit
You told me it was a microphone
And you wanted me to sing in it
I have a lot of friends and I do lots of things for them
I don't think it's me, I think it's you that have a problem
So zip up and try to be a gentleman
I have feelings too and I don't need you to hurt them
So zip up and try to be a gentleman
So zip up and try to be a gentleman
[Chorus]
You don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good okay?
No, you don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good okay?
You don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good okay?
You don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good okay?
You don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good okay?
No, you don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good okay?
You don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good okay?
You don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good okay?
[Refrain]
And that was a Birmingham Ho
Hey, ho hey, ho hey
And that was a Birmingham Ho
Hey, ho hey, ho hey, ho hey, ho hey, ho hey, ho hey
Ho hey, ho hey, ho hey, ho hey...
