FAME TO CLAIM - Kurt Chaboyer

Hot oil, hear it in the kitchen,
Sashay, Cindy through the swinging doors.
My my, how them boys are bitchin’
In some kind of language from hell
It's nasty and it's brutal but itʼs better - than workin’ the floor.
Yes, it’s her fame to claim, it’s her very own parade, and it’s mine.

Your simple life, your lips like purse strings
Why can’t you thank me for feeling alive?
You’re out to lunch, yes you’re out on me,
Thought you were right along,
But I’m sorry I did you one better:
I went and ordered some more.
It’s my fame to claim, it’s my very own parade, yes it’s all mine.

I admit, I looked up, took it down from the shelf.
You give the blame, you like it, I pin it on myself.

Say I did it, say I’m the perpetrator,
Say I tell you how, but I don’t tell you why.
Do what you do and you deal with it later,
There’s many ways to get by,
But when you live from day to day,
This way is better, than workin’ the floor.
It’s my fame to claim, it’s my very own parade, yes, it’s all mine.

I admit, I looked up, took it down from the shelf.
You give the blame, you like it, I pin it on myself.

Hey boy, there’s coke in the kitchen.
My my, looks like sex on the floor.
Hey hey, everybody’s bitching.
If there’s a knock on the door, it’s Mr. Scowl and his Little Evil Eye.
Looks like they don’t wanna play.
It’s my fame to claim, it’s my very own parade, mine all mine.
