Her name is, oh Lord, Cloreen.
She's just fat, hit me.

Too nasty. I said now big dumb, you... you... Bacon Skin
Just fat, but you know where it's at.
I wish you was thin, Cloreen Bacon Skin.

Wait a minute, I said... Bacon Skin, hit me.
Sexy. Don't touch noth. Don't you touch snare or cymbal.
You just tap, good God.

I wanna sing to this girl. I said baby, wait a minute.
When we're all alone, we try to make love.
Somebody call you on the phone.
I don't know what his name is, but I know... I know this is life.
But that... that's real, baby. You're my wife.
Cloreen Bacon Skin, wait a minute.
