Lyrics
Got me a place
In a meat packing plant
South of the yards
Next to the tracks
There's bugs on the walls
And rats in the tub
And a a mattress in the corner
If you're looking for love
We can get as loud as we want
The neighbors are illegal
They won't call the cops
We can roar like lions
We can crawl like ants
We can slither like lizards
In our underpants
Hey baby, is this fun or what?
Bet they don't party like this back in Connecticut.
Take down the mirror, cut up this coke
Drop the needle on the stereo
In a moment we’ll be boogie-ing down
With Iggy, Sidney, and the Velvet Underground
Hey schoolgirl, you say want an education?
Then let the professsor introduce you to some new sensations... (watch me, now)
Ooooh baby, that was great.
Yes, I'm sure the jimmy hat didn't break
If you want to shower before you go
You can use my towel
But don't touch the soap
Hope you remember where you parked
This place gets a little strange after dark
Sorry, honey, I can't give you a ride
You see, my new best friend she’s about to arrive
But you can visit any time you like
Down here in my low-rent paradise
Where the landlord never, ever comes by
And most folks got more sense than to go outside…
Who would have thought down and out could be so much fun?
I found a home among the freaks and the scum
It was so suffocating
Growing up a favorite son
But, I'm better now, baby - yeah, this is my kind of slum
