- Tattoo LyricsI got Elvis on my elbow
When I flex, Elvis talks
I got hula girls on the back of my leg
and she hula's when I walk.
screeching cherry red
screaming 'lectric green
purple mountain's majesty
talk to me! Talk to me babe!
Swap meet Sally
Tramp Stamp Tat
house-wife to bomb-shell in the
time it took to get that new tattoo
tattoo tattoo
tattoo tattoo
Show me your dragon magic
tattoo tattoo
So autobiographic
Best believe that needle will hurt you
Best to see these true colors than follow
one of your false virtues
Little Secret to make you think
Why is the crazy stuff we never say
poetry in ink?
Smokin' day-glow red
explodo pink
purple mountains majesty
show me you, I'll show you me
Swap meet Sally
Tramp Stamp Tat
house-wife to bomb-shell in the
time it took to get that new tattoo
tattoo tattoo
tattoo tattoo
sexy dragon magic
tattoo tattoo
so very autobiographic
tattoo tattoo
got a hold on me
tattoo tattoo
he put a spell on me
hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah oh, alright
(guitar solo)
Uncle Danny had a coal tattoo
He fought for the union
Some of us still do
On my shoulder is the number
of the chapter he was in
that number is forever like
the struggle here to win
When I flex, Elvis talks
I got hula girls on the back of my leg
and she hula's when I walk.
screeching cherry red
screaming 'lectric green
purple mountain's majesty
talk to me! Talk to me babe!
Swap meet Sally

Don't worry, you won't be grown up when you turn 18. But those 10 tattoos are a great idea. Please keep them visible for all to see. Don't hide them from future employers. Tattoos ROCK! (NOT)
