Balmy Knights

I told you so, I TOLD you so

But you never listen to me 

You're loud, proud, and your head's in a cloud

And your eyes are too blind to see

You just use your head for a hat rack 

And you damn well know it's true 

You're old enough to know, you know I told you so 

Now look at what's happened to you 

Found your ass in jail without bail

And stinking of rot gut gin

The fella in the bunk above declared his love

And made you his new girlfriend 

Then with your sentence through, I thought you knew

You had to check in every week 

But the cops found you there at the county fair

So drunk that you couldn't speak

The judge issued a one way ticket 

Back to the cage with your old friend 

I told you so, you KNOW I told you so 

I'll send some balm for your rear end
