You know who's a good-looking man? Jude Law. You'd be proud and lucky to mature like him—the way he continues to lose hair but just makes it work. He's sexy, he's distinguished, he's funny, he's charming. You know who would have a beautiful record like this in his collection? Yep: Jude. Law. It's just like him! Handsome, tasteful, smart, mature, but edgy when it should be. You like Jude Law. You like Jack Hotel. You get what I'm saying here. Jude Law. Jack Hotel. Jude Law. Jack Hotel. I think we are on the same page.

lyrics
Come on, mama, don't you play me for no fool
I wouldn't quit you, woman, while the weather's cool
Around your back door, honey, I will make my creep
As long as you're earnin' your two and a half a week
I know a gal who lives in the rich folks' yard
She brings me meat and she brings me lard
She brings me meat and she brings me lard
She brings me anything that she can steal
I hear you mama, hey, hey
Here come Sally with her nose all tore
Doctor says she can't smell no more
Come on, doctor, keep ringin' the bell
There's women in the alley
I'm simply wild about my good cocaine
Furniture man come to my door last Sunday morn
He asked me, is my wife at home
I said no, she's been long gone
Then he backed his truck up to my door
Took everything I had
And took it on back to the furniture store
I declare I did feel sad
What in the world's anybody got to do
With the furniture man
If you got no dough, he'll put on a show
He'll take everything he can
He'll take everything from the ugly plant
The skillet to the frying pan
If there ever was a devil without any horns
I swear it was the furniture man
I hear you mama, hey, hey
Here come Sally with her nose all tore
Doctor says she can't smell no more
Coke's for horses, not for women or men
They say it's gonna kill you but they can't say when
I'm simply wild about my good cocaine
Simply wild about that good cocaine
I wouldn't quit you, woman, while the weather's cool
Around your back door, honey, I will make my creep
As long as you're earnin' your two and a half a week
I know a gal who lives in the rich folks' yard
She brings me meat and she brings me lard
She brings me meat and she brings me lard
She brings me anything that she can steal
I hear you mama, hey, hey
Here come Sally with her nose all tore
Doctor says she can't smell no more
Come on, doctor, keep ringin' the bell
There's women in the alley
I'm simply wild about my good cocaine
Furniture man come to my door last Sunday morn
He asked me, is my wife at home
I said no, she's been long gone
Then he backed his truck up to my door
Took everything I had
And took it on back to the furniture store
I declare I did feel sad
What in the world's anybody got to do
With the furniture man
If you got no dough, he'll put on a show
He'll take everything he can
He'll take everything from the ugly plant
The skillet to the frying pan
If there ever was a devil without any horns
I swear it was the furniture man
I hear you mama, hey, hey
Here come Sally with her nose all tore
Doctor says she can't smell no more
Coke's for horses, not for women or men
They say it's gonna kill you but they can't say when
I'm simply wild about my good cocaine
Simply wild about that good cocaine
