I'll be your back-door man (2)
Rectangular with a wire-mesh screen
I'll be your back-door man
Rectangular with a wire-mesh screen
I'll be your back-door man
By the way, how are the kids?

[The lyrics are continued in the TISM Guide to Little Aesthetics]

I'm your little red rooster (3) baby
I prefer wheat to pellets
I'm your little red rooster
Hey I like the way you interpreted that opportunist go a lot if.

You're like a hound dog baby (4)
You hear really high-pitched whistles
You're like a hound dog baby
Go on the best yep wop ho

I've been down so goddam long (5)
I must remember to pick up a tube of Deep Heat rub (6)
I've been down so very damn long
I said woe-den boe-den stink me out in woops.
