G#m
Stagecoach lady, hourglass body
 E
Making things glow in the night
           G#m
Well, she would if she could,
and she'd be good if she would only
          E
Tell her lover she be out tonight

Chorus:
               C#m
Because I'm a bad
           D#
A lonely school boy
          C#m
And I'm a rat
          G#m
And it's too bad, can't get me none of that!

Salt Lake City, salt-licking bitties
Bogies turn, stinking of gin
Well my daddy was hard, his face was pretty scarred
From kicking ass and playing poker to win

Chorus:
Because I'm a bad
A lonely school boy
And I'm a rat
And it's too bad, can't get me none of that!
It's too bad

And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that!

Loose sold lady, my mama Katie
Chivalry was born at her feet
Well she should have thought twice
When pa showed his dice
The night they put my daddy to sleep

Chorus:
Because I'm a bad
A lonely school boy
And I'm a rat
And it's too bad, can't get me none of that!

G#m
It's too bad, Lord, it's too bad!
I said it's too bad, Lord, it's too bad!
I said it's too bad, it's too bad!
You know it's too bad, it's too bad!
