Good Ol' Mikey Burns Lyrics - Singles - Abominable Slowmen

The green grass grows where the red rocks rise 

And the mountain goats stick to the mountain sides 

But the van broke down with a crick-crack sound 

So we sat on the side of the road in Montana 

A dirty old marmot hid beneath a tree 

While the Kraken was unleashed to keep us company 

Then the tow truck arrived and the journey revived 

As we sped down the road for Cut Bank, Montana 

We rolled into a town with streets full of bears 

And arrangements were made for vehicular repairs 

Then heard the good word as we were referred 

To the only rental shop in Cut Bank, Montana 

We waddled on over to a Loony Tune motel 

With mercs at the door to deter the clientele 

But we were ushered in by the mob's kingpin 

Who was good ol' Mikey Burns, Prince Thief of Montana 

Mikey Burns has got a Chevrolet Venture 

Mikey Burns has got your ticket for adventure 

He said when you're a-pressed with a policeman's concerns 

Just tell 'em you borrowed it from good ol' Mikey Burns 

We were led into his kitchen slash living room 

Enshrouded by an aura of taxidermic doom 

And where Mikey ate his meals he also did his business deals 

Right there in his home in Cut Bank, Montana 

We tried to haggle down but we were fools 

This was Mikey Burns' town with Mikey Burns' rules 

So we heeded his advice and paid the list price 

And our minivan snarled west on 2 in Montana 

It soon became clear that we had sold our souls 

To the only man eligible in all the polls 

The king of the town, the cock of the walk 

Ol' Mikey Burns in Cut Bank, Montana 

The sun comes up and the moon goes down 

And the casino bars open all around the town 

And Mikey Burns laughs all the way to the bank 

Cuz you can't prank a crank up in Cut Bank, Montana
