If the folks next door to me weren't so good 

I'd do all the mean things anybody could 

I'd drink and I'd gamble and I'd louse around


I'd be the meanest man in this whole town 



If I hadn't seen the light in that old lady's
eyes 

I'd try to be a man you would hate and despise


I'd rave and I'd rant and I'd scream and yell


And I'd chase my neighbors from here to hell 



If I hadn't heard those kids laugh playing games


I'd have nervous fits, I'd go insane 

I'd turpentine cats and tin can dogs 

I'd smother people to death inside of hollow logs




If the people around me wasn't so nice 

I'd freeze my heart into a cake of ice 

Steal money from soldiers and working folks too


I'd lend you a dollar and take back two 



If my wife didn't kiss me the way she does 

I'd carry four or five daggers and three or four
guns 

I'd shoot craps and ramble and hang out late 

I'd steal baby buggies and Cadillac Eights 



If my friends didn't write me those letters I get


I'd be a dictator, the worse one yet 

I'd be the only smart bird, you'd all be fools


Send you all away to war and I'd stay home and
rule 



If it wasn't for them songs I hear you all sing


I'd put a crown on my dome and I'd say I'm your
king 

I'd kidnap some and blackmail others 

I'd peddle black market stuff and rob sisters and
brothers 



If it weren't for your talking I hear on the
street 

I'd be the orneriest man that you ever did meet


I'd preach the gospel of hate and I'd drink your
blood 

But I can't be this bad because my folks are too
good 

No I can't be this bad because my folks are too
good
