Bar Louisiana Lyrics - Singles - Tom Scullin

Street Wise and Feeling Idle 

Street Wise and feeling Idle 

Street Wise and feeling Idle 

I'm sitting in the Bar Louisiana 

red light district 

sorry that I came 

Up walks a girl who says she's feeling lonely 

and then she says Fat Sally is her name 

So I order us a round of blended whiskey 

and look her over quickly 

practiced aim 

then get the urge to ask her politely 

how'd a girl like you get that name 

"Chorus" 

She's street wise and feeling idle 

one meal a day just doesn't fill her needs 

a chronic case of every day fat tuesday (yeah) 

Mardi—Gras misfortune if you please 

She tells me that she's hungry for a lover 

or any man who can play the game 

of two card stud 

and she don't mean poker 

her latest colt in stable has gone lame 

So I let her know that I'm not one to gamble 

and as candles glow 

I'm just half a flame 

an hour or two and I start to flicker 

she stares at me and then says "what a shame" (oh no) 

"Chorus" 

She's street wise and feeling idle 

one meal a day just doesn't fill her needs 

a chronic case of every day fat tuesday (yeah) 

Mardi—Gras misfortune if you please 

Now I'm sitting in the Bar Louisiana red light district 

sorry that I came 

haven't dined 

but I'm not feeling hungry 

but I guess Fat Sally doesn't feel the same (oh no) 

"Chorus" 

Cause she's street wise and feeling idle 

one meal a day just doesn't fill her needs 

a chronic case of every day fat tuesday (yeah) 

Mardi—Gras misfortune if you please 

It's a Mardi—gras misfortune 

if you please 

Street Wise and Feeling Idle 

She's Street Wise and feeling Idle 

Street Wise and Feeling Idle
