Bar Louisiana

Street Wise and Feeling Idle
Street Wise and feeling Idle
Street Wise and feeling Idle

I'm sitting in the Bar Louisiana
red light district
sorry that I came
Up walks a girl who says she's feeling lonely
and then she says Fat Sally is her name

So I order us a round of blended whiskey
and look her over quickly
practiced aim
then get the urge to ask her politely
how'd a girl like you get that name

"Chorus"

She's street wise and feeling idle
one meal a day just doesn't fill her needs
a chronic case of every day fat tuesday (yeah)
Mardi—Gras misfortune if you please

She tells me that she's hungry for a lover
or any man who can play the game
of two card stud
and she don't mean poker
her latest colt in stable has gone lame

So I let her know that I'm not one to gamble
and as candles glow
I'm just half a flame
an hour or two and I start to flicker
she stares at me and then says "what a shame" (oh no)

"Chorus"

She's street wise and feeling idle
one meal a day just doesn't fill her needs
a chronic case of every day fat tuesday (yeah)
Mardi—Gras misfortune if you please

Now I'm sitting in the Bar Louisiana red light district
sorry that I came
haven't dined
but I'm not feeling hungry
but I guess Fat Sally doesn't feel the same (oh no)

"Chorus"

Cause she's street wise and feeling idle
one meal a day just doesn't fill her needs
a chronic case of every day fat tuesday (yeah)
Mardi—Gras misfortune if you please
It's a Mardi—gras misfortune
if you please

Street Wise and Feeling Idle
She's Street Wise and feeling Idle
Street Wise and Feeling Idle
