Monterey Jack Lyrics - Dr. Hook

(Shel Silverstein) 

Monterey Jack woke up in his shack on a Monday 

Monterey Jack had a little bitty snack of some elderberry wine 

Monterey Jack walked down the track, all the way to ol' Harley's shack 

Stuck his knife in ol' Harley's back 

And they say that's the way ol' Harley Davison died 

1...2...3...4... 

Ol' Jack Hoff was gettin' off in a doorway 

Ol' Jack Hoff was gettin' off with little Sarah Lee 

Ol' Jack Hoff was gettin' off when he mumbled and stumbled and started to cough 

And his vein went hard and he went soft 

And they say that's the way how ol' Jack Hoff O.G.'d 

Spoken: 

You mean O.D. 

No.... O.G. 

Oh man what's that? 

That's when you O.D and you say Oh Gee! 

1...2...3...4... 

Tom McCann was sittin' in the sand by the ocean 

Tom McCann looked into his hand and found a jelly-roll 

Tom McCann was feelin' grand, all the girls were lickin' his hand 

He's a heel but man, oh man, everybody knows that Tom McCann's got soul 

Spoken: 

Its over 

No it ain't 

No it ain't either, here it is again 

That's really the end
