The RS' songs often feature very sarcastic humour. Here's one of my favourites..


'She drove a pick-up truck painted green and blue
The tires were wearing thin, she'd done a mile or two
When I asked her where she headed for
"Back up to Boston, I'm singing in a bar"
I got to fly today on down to Baton Rouge
My nerves are shot already, the road ain't all that smooth
Across in Texas is the rose of San Antone
I keep on a feeling that gnawing in my bones

...On the seventh day my eyes were all a-glaze
We'd been ten thousand miles and been in fifteen states
Every woman seemed to fade out of my mind
I hit the bottle and hit the sack and cried
What's all this laughter on the twenty-second floor?
It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the doors!'

'And the preacher said, you know you always have the Lord by your side
And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
Twenty red lights in his honor
Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord'

(and the rest of the song)

Oh, there are so many of them, but this one has always been one of my favourites:

'I was King, Mr. Cool
Just a snobby little fool
(Like kids are now)'

- Doxa

On these, it's Keith's delivery that makes the lyrics seem so funny...when you read 'Life,' you realise he has a fantastic sense of humour.

'I wasn't looking too good but I was feeling real well!'

'The pool's in, but the patio ain't dry'

'Why do you think you got no friends?
You drove them all around the bend'

And these ones from Mick..

'I turned around you smell like Monday morning's fish
I can't get near enough to take a goodbye kiss'

'In the sweet old country where I come from
Nobody ever works, nothing ever gets done
We hang fire, we hang fire
You know marrying money is a full time job
I don't need the aggravation, I'm a lazy slob
We hang fire'

Yeah, some call me garbage when I'm sweeping up the street
But I never roll and I never cheat
And I'm filling a need, yeah, I'm plugging a hole
My mama's so glad I ain't on the dole

How the years rush on by: birthdays, kids and suicides
But still I play the fool and strut, still you're a slut

You're the first to get laid
Always the last bitch to get paid

I never had the money and I never had the class
But I always seemed to get myself a Saturday night piece of ass

I need money so much, I need money so bad
And I can't be your mama, I don't want to be your dad
I'm a serious man, I've got serious lusts
I'm going to have to do away with this greasy kid stuff

Too bad, she's got you by the balls

unintentionally most funniest piece of lyrics is surely:

Sparks will fly
Sharks will cry

My vote goes to the fire chief

Yeah, I heard about your Polaroids
That's what I call obscene
Your tricks with fruit was kinda cute
I bet you keep your pu**y clean

The whole song is hilarious.

Now I threaten my wife with a gun
But I always leave the safety on
I recommend it, Claudine

Rip this joint, gonna rip yours too,
Some brand new steps and some weight to lose


I smell rubber
And I soon discover
That you’re gone for good

Monkey Man.

Well, the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send ten dollars to the church of the Sacred Bleeding Heart of Jesus located somewhere in Los Angeles, California....
And next week.... they'd say my prayer on the radio and all my dreams would come true .....
So I did ...........Hilarious ....

”Brand new car” is not that bad....!

Wham,bam,Birmingham

Or the Madison Square Garden 1972 version

Wham,bam,Birmingham
Alabama don't give a 5hit...

Good Thread..

Oh help me, please mama, I'm sick'ning
It's today that's the day of the plunge
Oh the gal I'm to marry
Is a bow-legged sow
I've been soakin' up drink like a sponge

Stupid Girl ..... laugh along to it at twice a day ......

IMO the entire lyrics to Dear Doctor are hilarious and should be the winner of funniest song award.

I love Mixed Emotions, but rhyming ‘butt’ and ‘strut’ is hilariously lazy.

Worst lyrics ever, but....

'Everybody's talking, showing up their wits
The moon is yellow but I'm like jello,
staring down your tits..'

that even beats 'sharks will cry'

Among others, this comes to my mind:

"The cops, you know, I can't involve them,
God knows what they could find ..."

She's Da Boss song has some funny lines .......

"Andrew's Blues" anyone?
