I want you to go into intimate detail about Willie the Pimp
Willie the Pimp, the famed person who first said, "Son of a bitch!
Oh, excuse me, there's a lady in the car cutting me off, son of
A bitch, stupid bastard." Wearing the clothes- Quick, quickly
Blue knee socks, white shorts, skinny dumpy legs- ...
And a big fat stomach, and a big cigar
Hanging out of his mouth, straw hat
And sitting down, and he says, "Son of a bitch!" Willie, who sits
In front of the TV set all day, at night goes down to 42nd Street
And pimps around there, unknown to his wife and grateful children
Tell them about the Lido Hotel
The Lido Hotel, where he sometimes hangs out with some prostitutes
Uh- Well, we were gonna call, we were gonna call, um, a lady
No, we were gonna call Willie and tell him we're a
Beautiful lady, measurements, measurements 36-24-36
Tell him to meet, uh, meet us at, uh, in front of the Lido Hotel
And then- A well-known prostitute house
And then he'll be expecting this beautiful blonde to
Come by, and he'll be standing in front of the Lido
Hotel, and all of a sudden- When his wife walks by
...
And we walk by, and then he just won't know what to do
And, "Son of a bitch, get away from here!"
