Dirty Drowning Man (Primus)

Les Claypool:
I'm a dog
A dirty flying dog
I drink Campari
With marinated wild hog
I've no sense
I lick electric fence
I put barbed wire in my pants
And do a celtic dance

But when I can
I am a giving man
I'll flip you out the fire
And back up into the frying pan

And if you're down
Lookin like you're gonna dornw
Of all your friedns I'm the one
Who's most apt to stick around

I'm a drowning man
Who will save this drowning man
Who will save this drowning man
Who will save this
Dirty drowning man

You're so fine
So bright and shiney fine
And I'm so proud to say
That you inj fact are a frine dof mine
And doubly pleased
With crooked wobbly knees
i drive on in and backstroke right
Across these seas of cheese

But on the times
When I'm not such a giving man
Please flip me out the fire
And back up into the frying pan

And if you're down
Lookin like you're gonna drown
Of all your friedns I'm the one
Who's most apt to stick around

I'm a drowning man
Who will save this drowning man
Who will save this drowning man
Who will save this
Dirty drowning man

Martina:
Ooohh, aaahh...

Les Claypool & Martina:
I'm a dog
A dirty flying dog
I drink Campari
With marinated wild hog
I've no sense
I lick electric fence
I put barbed wire in my pants
And do a celtic dance

Les Claypool:
But when I can
I am a giving man
I'll flip you out the fire
And back up into the frying pan

And if you're down
Lookin like you're gonna drown
Of all your friends I'm the one
Who's most apt to stick around

Les Clayppool & Martina:
I'm a drowning man
Who will save this drowning man
Who will save this drowning man
Who will save this
Dirty drowning man

Martina:
Aaoohh, aaaooohh...

Les Clayppool:
And if you're down
Lookin like you're gonna drown
Of all your friedns I'm the one
Who's most apt to stick around

I'm a drowning man
Who will save this drowning man
Who will save this drowning man
Who will save this
Dirty drowning man

Martina:
Aaoohh, aaaooohh...
