Well, he went down to dinner in his Sunday best
Excitable boy, they all said
And he rubbed the pot roast all over his chest
Excitable boy, they all said
Well he's just an excitable boy
He took in the four a.m. show at the Clark
Excitable boy, they all said
And he bit the usherette's leg in the dark
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy

''(Ooh ooh, excitable boy)''
''(Ooh wah ooh)''
''(Ooh ooh, excitable boy)''
He took little Suzie to the Junior Prom ''(Ooh wah ooh)''
Excitable boy, they all said ''(Ooh ooh, excitable boy)''
And he raped her and killed her, then he took her home
''(Ooh wah ooh)''
Excitable boy, they all said
''(Ooh ooh, excitable boy)''
Well, he's just an excitable boy
After ten long years, they let him out of the home
Excitable boy, they all said ''(Ooh ooh, excitable boy)''
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones
Excitable boy, they all said ''(Ooh ooh, excitable boy)''
Well, he's just an excitable boy
''(Ooh wah ooh)''
''(Ooh ooh, excitable boy)''
''(Ooh wah ooh)''
''(Ooh ooh, excitable boy)''
''(Ooh wah ooh)''
''(Ooh ooh, excitable boy)''
''(Ooh wah ooh)''
''(Ooh ooh, excitable boy)''

This song is so twisted I'm amazed it hasn't been blacklisted. Amazed, and grateful. I love the late Mr. Zevon. I take a bit of consolation in the fact that his kid Jordan inherited his warped, brutally-perceptive take on life and also got his musical talent. Thank Cthulu that the legacy Warren Zevon left will not be forgotten. Meanwhile, I think it's time to trot out a lot more of Zevon's music. If not here at RP, then at least in my own CD player. Miss you, Warren. miss your posts too cynaera. rip [ Reply ]

Cynaera Dec 21, 2011 - 15:59	I have to laugh at all the haters who think the lyrics are disgusting and/or disturbing. Of COURSE they are! That's what makes this song so great - that happy, bouncy tune, accompanied by some of the darkest, most twisted concepts ever conjured up by a human being. (And yes, he really did rub a pot roast on his chest - it was at his mom's house, and he did it to demonstrate how delicious he thought it was, because in his opinion, words couldn't do it justice.) When I think of the word "zeal," I think of Warren Zevon and the way he lived his life. He truly did "enjoy every sandwich." [ Reply ]

Lrobby99 Dec 21, 2011 - 15:51	Amusing once or twice. Just garbage after that. Zevon repeats lyrics like a parakeet chirps. [ Reply ]
toterola Sep 17, 2011 - 17:13	Damn, I loved Warren! We will not see his like again. Wherever you are and whatever you're doing Mr. Zevon, I just listened to a bit of your genius and smiled. See you down the road, compadre. [ Reply ]
