There are minor changes by John Mellencamp in ( )



I preach my dear friends you are about to receive on John Barley

corn, nicotine and the temptations of Eve.

(John doesn't singsay this first verse)



No parking by the sewer sign

hotdog my razor broke

water dripping up the spout

but (hey) I don't care - Let it all Hang Out



Hanging from a pine tree by my knees

sunshine through the shade

nobody knows what it's all about

it's too much man - Let it all Hang Out



Saw a man walking upside down

my TV's on the blink

make Galileo look like a boy scout

sorry about that - Let it all Hang Out



Sleep all day, drive all night

brain my numb can't stop now

for sure ( ) ain't no doubt

keep an open mind - Let it all Hang Out



It's raining inside a big brown moon

how does that mess your baby up leg

eating a reuben sandwich with sauerkraut

don't stop now honey (woman) - Let it all Hang Out



Man in the straw house

sure don't know what he's talkin' about

don't leave me standing

on the front porch baby

makes me feel like I'm selling something

ask me in - Let it all Hang Out
