Little Sheba

I took a business trip down to Florida
I got a room at a Holiday Inn
There was an earthquake in California
Must be the reason why this place was shakin'
Down in the barroom it was loaded with servicemen
Elbow to elbow
I said, "'Scuze me blood, just what is shakin'?"
He say, "Girls on the dance floor wrestling in yellow"
And the joint was jammin' from the pumpin' by the D.J.
There were rappin' and clappin' When up steps Little Sheba

Little Sheba she's as tough as you find
She's the local color burnin' like a Florida Pine
They raise the girls on gator down here Doncha know
Little Sheba she's the favorite one
Everybody's got money on her 9 to 1
They raise the girls on gator down here Doncha know

Into the ring steps her worthy oponent
A nasty little vixen with a New York vibe
Before Little Sheba could say': "Welcome to Dixy"
She'd kicked all her buttons and punched out her headlights
And the crowd was reelin'. They were chomping and chanting
They can't believe what they're seein'
Didn't look good for Little Sheba

Little Sheba she's as tough as you find
She's the local color burnin' like a Florida Pine
They raise the girls on gator down here Doncha know
Little Sheba she's the favorite one
Everybody's got money on her 9 to 1
They raise the girls on gator down here Doncha know

Now to make a long story just a little bit longer
Little Sheba was humbled on that humid night
She returned to from emergency with a fistful of fractures
Our fabled femme fatale spoilin' for another fight

Little Sheba she's as tough as you find
She's the local color burnin' like a Florida Pine
They raise the girls on gator down here Doncha know
Little Sheba she's the favorite one
Everybody's got money on her 9 to 1
They raise the girls on gator down here Doncha know
