if you can't get it right, listen to the song when you play it

Lyrics:
Tuesday mornin' now,
I gotta have somewhere to go.
I call up Tommy now,
I call him on the telephone.

Won't you wake up and come with me now,
I'm goin' to the pawn and loan.
Walkin' down thirty-three,
walkin' down thirty o.

Yeah.

What am I suppose to think,
I dropped a nickel in the sink.
I love people like a brother now,
but i'm not gonna be there brother now.

What if someone walked up to me and,
Like an apple cut right through me.
I not gonna stand there grinning,
Cause I'm not the one whose sinning.
Screwdriver.

Hoo hoo. Hoo hoo.

Now that you have heard my story now,
I got a little ending to it now.
When ever you go out alone,
Take a little dog a bone.

And think about your little sister,
And you gotta drive it home,
Screwdriver.

I got a little feeling goin' now.
I got a little feeling goin' now.
I got a little feeling goin' now.
I got a little feeling goin' now.
I got a little feeling goin' now.
I got a little feeling goin' now!
I got a little feeling goin' now!
I got a little feeling goin' now!
I GOT A LITTLE FEELING GOIN' NOW!
I GOT A LITTLE FEELING GOIN' NOW!
I GOT A LITTLE FEELING GOIN' NOW!
NOW! NOW! NOW!
