I see you dangling behind my ass
Clinging to my heels
Licking up the grass
Hitching my wave, taking my ride
Sitting on my lap when the bench is open wide
I understand you're a lazy tramp without a sale
but dammit man pick up your pants and...
GET OFF MY COATTAILS

Don't mean to be indignant
I'm just tired as hell
It's time to change yourself
I don't like the smell
Humming my tune, drinking my booze
You're sittin' pretty with nothing to lose
I understand maybe you're just afraid to fail
but dammit man pick up your pants and...
GET OFF MY COATTAILS

I'm one for charity but you ain't no bum
You've done a great job foolin' everyone
Wearin' my trials across the town
The jury ain't decided if you're a poet or a clown
You've got a huge ego
But you move like a snail
Dammit man pick up your pants and...
GET OFF MY COATTAILS

You're lost at sea 'cause you don't know how to sail
Dammit man, pick up your pants,
And Get off my coattails.
