How`d You Get This Number Lyrics

Sorry 'bout your mama 

Sorry 'bout your paw 

Sorry 'bout the business 

With your brother-in-law 

Hard cheese about the money man 

Hard cheese about the stock 

Hard cheese about you bein' 

Up to your ears in hock 



Tough luck about your luggage tough luck about your socks 

Tough luck about the way 

That the other shoe drops 



Too bad about your girlfriend 

Too bad about your wife 

Too bad about the thing 

You call the rest of your life 



Chorus 



How'd you get this number man 

Who do you think you're talkin' to 

Who do you think you抮e kiddin' 

What do you want me to do 

How抎 you get this number man 

Please don't make me laugh 

You know you oughta be on TV 

With a line like that 



I heard about the car wreck 

I heard about the fight 

I heard about the time 

You抯 in jail all night 



I know you don't like trouble 

I know you don't like to fight 

I know that you can argue 

With a fence post all night 



I heard about the lamp shade 

I heard you had it on your head 

I heard you told a joke and 

Knocked the whole room dead 



No kiddin' 'bout the cough syrup 

No kiddin' 'bout the junk 

No kiddin' 'bout you been 

In a deep blue funk 



Chorus
