Till They Catch My Butt
(I’ll be Doing Fine)
Till They Catch My Butt
(I’ll be Doing Fine)
It’s been a long time since I’ve been up North
In the good ol’ US of A
I like it down here, I ain’t got no problems
But there’s other reasons why I’ll stay
Like anybody else you find in the tropics
I’m good at tellin’ my tale
But the truth of the matter, if I go back
They’re gonna though this boy in jail
CHORUS
So won’t you pour me up some good slow gin
I’ll suck it through my Cheshire grin
I’m sittin’ pretty cause it’s all mine
Till they catch my butt,
I’ll be doin’ fine
I won’t tell you why, I’m not a bad guy
Had a run in with my Uncle Sam, he said
A deduction or two had been misconstrued
And insurance paid off twice the damage
With my credit cards maxed, I never looked back
I made it here with all I’ve got
With full sails flyin’ in a southerly course
Now I’m sittin; pretty on my yacht
That straight and narrow just ain’t for me
I gotta get out while I can
Can’t breed me like no Pekinese
I gotta stand up like a man
Politically correct can go to hell
I want a woman with two big toys
The left one filled with Hiram Walker
And the left one filled with Lloyds
Repeat Chorus:
Now I’m sittin’ here fishin’, with no extradition
‘Til they catch this boy, I’ll be doin’ fine

About “Till They Catch My Butt”
This song was inspired by the stories told to me from a Captain named Jerry that I met over in Elbow Cay, Bahamas. I could write an entire book about the adventures of Captain Jerry but that’s something for another day (maybe year).
Jerry, if you read this you’ll know it’s about you – and get in touch with me….. if you’re not in jail
