Well, I was sittin' in this bar joint down in Houston, Texas.
|
Was drinkin' Colorado kool-Aid and talkin' to some Mexicans
|
an' we was...what's that you say? What's Coloradr Kool-Aid?
|
|
Well, it's a can of Coors brewed from a mountain stream.
|
It'll set your head on fire an' make your kidney's scream, oh it sure is fine.
|
|
Yeah, we was havin' ourselves one of them real good times.
|
But you know every beer joint that you've ever been in, some big,
|
mean drunk who ain't got no friend, sure enough he wants to fight.
|
|
Yeah, he's gonna whip everything in sight.
|
Well, he took him a big swallow of beer, and he spit it in my Mexican friend's ear.
|
And, sure enough, that made my buddie real mad.
|
That's somethin' like he never had.
|
|
Well, sir he pulled out a big, long switchblade knife.
|
Quick as a whistle he began to slice.
|
An', that big, mean drunk stood back, his face full of tears,
|
lookin' down at the floor, an' one of his ears.
|
|
Ha, he cut that thing off, even with the sideburns.
|
You might say the little Mexican fella, he just didn't give a durn.
|
But he was gentleman about it, an' bent over and with a half way grin, picked it up and handed it back to him.
|
|
He said, " Now big man, you get the urge to spit a little beer,
|
just open up your hand there, and spit it in your own ear.
|
Won't be no trouble that way."
|
That's what I heard him say.
|
|
And I said, "Barmaid, sat us a round of that Colorado Kool-Aid.
|
An' while you're up their, bring this big fella, here, a box of band aids.
|
|
Now, let me tell you, if you're ever ridin' down south of Texas.
|
Decide to stop an' drink some Colorado Kool-Aid, an' maybe talk to some Mexicans, an' you get the urge to get a little tough better make damn sure you got your knife proof ear-muff.
|
|
Hey, ain't that right big man?
|
I said ain't that right big man?
|
Ah, hell he can't hear,
|
not on this side anyway, he ain't got no ear.
|
|
Hey, barmaid, bring us all a big,
|
tall glass of that Colorado Kool-Aid.
|
How about it?
|
How you doin' big man? Still got your ear in your hand?
