Slum Goddess

This is where we call home
This is the lower end zone
I'm a drinker, I'm not a success
You could be my slum goddess
Excuse my clothes, they're cheap and dirty
I haven't washed since I was thirty
I got a phobia about shaving
Comb my hair and I'll start raving

Come here, my slum goddess
Drink some of this, can I touch your dress?
I won't hurt you, my friends will see to that
Let me watch you smile, my little slum goddess

Wino, wino, the kids all say
It's a bit sad, but I'm doing OK
Winter's a hard burn, now we've got the sun
It don't bother me, I'm always on the fun

You know I wasn't always this way

But something happened in my younger days

I started drinking, but that's another story
Yeah, now you see me in all my glory

I wanted to marry a girl like you
But look at me now, it ain't possible
You gotta ask my friend to take good care of you
If he don't, I'm really the fool
I can't believe you were born in the slums
You look too good to be having a damp
You're so beautiful, while I'm a mess

Come and make me smile, my little slum goddess
Wino, wino, the kids all say
It's a bit sad, but I'm doing OK
Winter's a hard burn, now we've got the sun
It don't bother me, I'm always on the fun

So come here, my slum goddess
Drink some of this, can I touch your dress?
I won't hurt you, my friends will see to that
Let me watch you smile, my little slum goddess

My slum goddess
My slum goddess
Let me watch you smile
Let me touch your dress

My slum goddess
