Baggage
© 1996 Bryan Masters


         D
Well I don't mean to alarm you
                                         A
'cuz I'm starting to believe I love you so
               D
but if you're gonna stick around here
                                             A
there's a thing or two you really ought to know


         E
I'm not saying I know the devil
       D              A
but I owe him thirty dollars
         E
and I change my number twice a year
         D                  A
just to throw him off the trail
      D
sometimes I get abducted
                                      A
sometimes I need someone to throw my bail


Well you'll hear some things about me
I hope you will believe they are untrue
and my stories often contradict themselves
I hope that's fine with you


And my association with the late J. Edgar Hoover
was exaggerated by the press
and made to seem insane
and I have no recollection
of any dealings with Sadaam Hussein


Well you know it isn't easy
to lay my cards out on the table
I'm the illegitimate grandson of
Clark Gable and Betty Grable
and sometimes my medication
makes me seem a bit unstable
since Pope John Paul officially
condemned my soul to hell
and I hope this doesn't bother you
'cuz I really think we're hitting it off quite well


and the JFK assasin
it wasn't me
as near as I can tell
