Top of the Morn' & Slip of the Day Songtext
von You Am I

Shuffle ′round the earth like a ping pong
Find something just to hang my hat on
And somewhere just to let my pants get dry
Heard a trucker on a payphone in Gas Mart
Sold his deal out with a 25 cent cough
Shooting through before a see-through covering call

And it sure did seem a good deal to me
But my head's too soaked in brilliantine
Oh, so take me out, alright

Brushed over stations and channels
And commentary, corduroy and flannels
You′re where you are when you move
Who you're with when you're alone
That′s all I know


And it sure did seem a good deal to me
But my head′s too soaked in brilliantine
Oh, so take me out, alright
And the top 'em all, the slip a day
Just don′t sleep good since I've been away
So here′s to you, alright

I think I've figured out a way to get by
I′ll leave your brain out sitting on a shelf
I think I've figured out a cracking good way to get by
So kick me out, I'm going west, bye-bye

And it sure did seem a good deal to me
But my head′s too soaked in brilliantine
Oh, so take me out, alright
The top ′em all, the slip a day
Just don't sleep good since you′ve been away
Oh, here's to you, alright

Walk stupid like an ex-fair dud dad
Waiting for your hand like I′m waiting on the Skylab
Kick me out, I'm going west, alright
