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
I was born with my mouth wide open
I was born with a hundred teeth
Chewed up everything in the kitchen
Started looking over and underneath
Can't you taste that good fried chicken
Can't you smell that deep blue sea
Haven't you heard that it's been written
Do re him and do re mi
When I was young my daddy told me
I believe he said it true
Nothing in the world's as holy
as a little bit of road in front of you
Mama died with cookies in the oven
Elvis died with his pants undone
Jesus died in the back of a barroom
Didn't lift a finger for anyone
I can shout hallelujah!
I can shout amen!
If I shine my light from under a bucket
Can a poor boy get to heaven
Can a poor boy get to heaven
Salt for salt and sugar for sugar
So I've heard the story told
I just hope I get to heaven
If I die before I'm old
If I had money and time to spend it
I'd light out for some western town
The grass is green and the girls are women
They're taller than they are around
I'd drive until the sun gets heavy
I'm out of breath and out of range
The signal's strong and the beat is steady
The tune's familiar but the words are strange
There's a house on the river Jordan
I believe it's not that far
Might be all the beds are taken
But I hear they got a big backyard
I can shout hallelujah!
I can shout amen!
If I shine my light from under a bucket
Can a poor boy get to heaven
Can a poor boy get to heaven
I can shout hallelujah!
I can shout amen!
If I shine my light from under a bucket
Can a poor boy get to heaven
Can a poor boy get to heaven
I was born with a hundred teeth
Chewed up everything in the kitchen
Started looking over and underneath
Can't you taste that good fried chicken
Can't you smell that deep blue sea
Haven't you heard that it's been written
Do re him and do re mi
When I was young my daddy told me
I believe he said it true
Nothing in the world's as holy
as a little bit of road in front of you
Mama died with cookies in the oven
Elvis died with his pants undone
Jesus died in the back of a barroom
Didn't lift a finger for anyone
I can shout hallelujah!
I can shout amen!
If I shine my light from under a bucket
Can a poor boy get to heaven
Can a poor boy get to heaven
Salt for salt and sugar for sugar
So I've heard the story told
I just hope I get to heaven
If I die before I'm old
If I had money and time to spend it
I'd light out for some western town
The grass is green and the girls are women
They're taller than they are around
I'd drive until the sun gets heavy
I'm out of breath and out of range
The signal's strong and the beat is steady
The tune's familiar but the words are strange
There's a house on the river Jordan
I believe it's not that far
Might be all the beds are taken
But I hear they got a big backyard
I can shout hallelujah!
I can shout amen!
If I shine my light from under a bucket
Can a poor boy get to heaven
Can a poor boy get to heaven
I can shout hallelujah!
I can shout amen!
If I shine my light from under a bucket
Can a poor boy get to heaven
Can a poor boy get to heaven
