Somebody had to set a bad example Teach all the prim and propers what not to do Nobody around here wants to ramble What the hell, that's what I was born to do Those swanky big brick houses don't amuse me I live in a trailer but I drive a cadillac I ain't never tried to impress nobody I honk every horn and sticker on your back Somebody had to set a bad example Teach all the prim and propers what not to do Nobody around here wants to ramble What the hell, that's what I was born to do All the girls that I grew up with went to college Their rich daddies bought them a degree But I'm a third generation bartender And I like livin' from a tip jar week to week Somebody had to set a bad example Teach all the prim and propers what not to do Nobody around here wants to ramble What the hell, that's what I was born to do Somebody had to set a bad example Teach all the prim and propers what not to do Nobody around here wants to ramble What the hell, that's what I was born to do I said, what the hell, that's what I was born to do
