Rattlesnake Smoking a Cigarette
Well the year was 1985 and it was the hottest summer to date
I'd say it was as hot as flugen, a crispy hot, a silly hot

And now in my desperation
I walked down to the end of that line
I looked that woman up and down
She had something on her legs that I'd only seen used for fishing
