Chorus:
I've been hearin' it all my life,
turn it on that trouble and strife
You can't do this and you can't do that
And you can't have fun like the big fat cat
Your much to young or your much too old
You're way too hot or you're way too cold
Oh no, you can't do that:
Found myself a sweetheart, it came time to settled
down
A picket fence at great expense in the fancy
part of town
Started off like Heaven, ended up like hell
" You can't go out with the boys no more and
you can't drink beer as well "
Oh no! you can't do that
So I took off down to Nashville, gonna be a country
Hooked up with a banjo, a fiddle and a steel
guitar
Sounded just like Waylon I was top shelf
solid gold
" They said dude are ya outa your mind can't
you see your way too old "
Oh no! you can't do that
Chorus:
I've been hearin' it all my life,
turn it on that trouble and strife
You can't do this and you can't do that
And you can't have fun like the big fat cat
Your much to young or your much too old
You're way too hot or you're way too cold
Oh no! you can't do that:
I dreamed I meet old Peter up at them pearly
gates
He said, "Son you look like Elvis and you sound
just like Tom Waits
Guess you could have made it, it was right there
all the time
But you're always blowin' hot or cold, never
walked that middle line"
" OH NO, I CANT' DO THAT " !!!!!!!!.
Chorus:
I've been hearin' it all my life,
turn it on that trouble and strife
You can't do this and you can't do that
And you can't have fun like the big fat cat
Your much to young or your much too old
You're way too hot or you're way too cold
Oh no, you can't do that
Oh no, you can't do that.
