For the way she was dressed, I woulda changed my will
My gyroscope was runnin' down the hill
The smoke hid my chubby, she swatted my button fly
There's Commies in the suburbs, you know they wouldn't lie
Thank god for indiscretion in lonely single moms
Motorbikes with mufflers, the gravestone of King Kong
Burma back in '43 was just this side of heaven
Double trouble all wrapped up, details at 11
(They just wouldn't wait their turn)
-----
My Wall Street Week subscription's being renewed
By the grave yard shift phone girl, wishin' she was nude
She had my special battery, she swore she never tried
But the all-night teller booth was open from INSIDE
I almost met old Malcolm X, before he found his way
The River boats were smuggling arms, donuts and decay
Those things he said, all rang true, a flat without a jack
I picked her, she chained me down, my deja vu went black
Kim got his Wise Blood at G-squared's place
It always brings to mind that first time I got maced
It's just across the highway where the Sonic used to stand
The colored kids sold lemonade and shot their rubber bands
-----
Sophia was a bigamist, she liked to eat French food
She squandered all her winnings on a Danish guy named Zood
His eye patch kept on slippin', exposed his freezer burn
He claimed he was at Woodstock, but he wouldn't wait his turn.

This was recorded pre-internet, so a few of the lyrics aren't exactly correct.

I wanna be Jackie Chan, I wish I was Jackie Chan
Please let me be Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan is God.
Jackie Chan is...
Jumping off buildings, he's fighting in cars
Don't you know he's the world's Greatest Movie Star!
-----
I wanna be Jackie Chan etc

Jackie Chan is...
Always the good guy, he always gets his man
He knows guns, but he don't need them
He's got lighting hands, hands hands !
I Wanna be Jackie Chan...
