but hey Donnie!

but hey Donnie!
not Casper the Ghost or Lonnie
not hey Jude
'cause you were always rude
a mean and miserable dude
hey Donnie!

you dug a pretty big hole
& it might have been a war hole
or a hot piece of heavy ass hole

who can know which way you tried to go?

when you thought you were a big time dime
i thought you were a waste of time

but the candy girls thought you were sweet
they sucked up close on easy street
they rolled juicy joints on your factory floor
asked for money and you gave them more

you told them it was nice 
but they said you were ice

but hey Donnie!
not Casper the Ghost or Lonnie
not hey Jude
'cause you were always rude
a mean and miserable dude

they wanted you in black leather pants
you wanted an hourly romance
they wanted you to act 
but you wanted them to dance

but hey Donnie!
not Casper the Ghost or Lonnie
not hey Jude
'cause you were always rude
a mean and miserable dude

you liked riding in your stretch limousine
longer than the biggest block of New Orleans

on an early Sunday morning
you could pop up without warning

posing for pictures without a point 
running hustles in every joint
parties rocking with hardly a pause
your friends all dressed like Santa Claus
or Mrs. Claus
whatever the age
it was all a stage

but hey Donnie!
not Casper the Ghost or Lonnie
not hey Jude
'cause you were always rude
a mean and miserable dude

so to justify fortune and fame
you've relied on a tin-horn name
to polish the unwashed masses
and make fun of their asses
you swindle and waddle and wade:
and your reputation is made.

but hey Donnie!
not Casper the Ghost or Lonnie
not hey Jude
'cause you were always rude
a mean and miserable dude

you were a master at this game
tinsel and tickle and fame

wearing a smile on your head
it wasn't so much what you said

hey Donnie!
not Casper the Ghost or Lonnie
not hey Jude
'cause you were always rude
a mean and miserable dude

you dug a pretty big hole
it might have been a war hole
or a hot piece of heavy ass hole

but hey Donnie!
