Middle Class White Boy

by Mose Allison

on Middle Class White Boy (1982)

Never did a damn thing my way
I wouldn't die for love
The only time I take control
Is when push comes to shove
I'm not your Hoochie Coochie Man
I'm not the Seventh Son
Just another middle class white boy
I'm tryin' to have some fun

I got myself some costumes
That scandalize my folks
The Mountain Man and the Fu Manchu
And the Renegade, ___ ___
And when I ride my motorbike
It's too Attila the Hun
Just another middle class white boy
I'm tryin' to have some fun

I'll never be a hero
Unless it's by mistake
I just wanna do everything wrong
And still take home the cake
I even got in trouble
I left town on the run
Just another middle class white boy
I'm tryin' to have some fun

I got myself a brand new name
A new religion too
I went halfway around the world
To find the right guru
When he tried to steal my girlfriend
The whole thing came undone
Just another middle class white boy
I'm tryin' to have some fun

Just another middle class white boy
I'm tryin' to have some fun
