about

Ricky T sings of his triumphs, and stomps the rhythm fantastic.

lyrics

Well,
Kiss my grits! I’m on the town
And I hear that there’s a place around
Where girls get drunk and wallow in self-pity
Well, I got my coat. I got my hat.
I got assorted this and that
It’s time to make my mark here in the city!

But if you get up in my face
Because I’m ruler of this place
I’ve got a few words of choice, and you’ll be sorry
I learned them as a little lad
And, oh boy howdy, I’m sure glad
You get to hear the power and the glory!

“Here’s my finger! Here’s my thumb!
Here’s my fist, you better run!
Or I’ll take you outside and you’ll get a lickin’!
Here’s my finger! Here’s my thumb!
Here’s my fist, you better run!
And now the world will know who is chicken!”

Well,
I’m here to love! I’m here to fight!
And I could do this every night
If only I had time or the money
But none could ever take away
The twelve words that I long to say
And I don’t think it ain’t at all that funny!

“Here’s my finger! Here’s my thumb!
Here’s my fist, you better run!
The situation here is quite invitin’.
Here’s my finger! Here’s my thumb!
Here’s my fist, you better run!
The words that come and set you up for fightin’!”

I see the girl
I’m honing in
Now let the night begin!
Hey, that’s not right
Let’s start a fight
I longed for this all night!
