Filipino Ray Lyrics - Of Whales And Woe - Les Claypool

Filipino Ray can sing it out 

Like you would not believe 

Always hais blond freckle faced lady 

Dangling from his sleeve 

Filipino Ray he played an old Les Paul 

Big ol' jumbo fret 

Had scars up on the headstock 

From where he kept his lit cigarette 

Filipino Ray had a fang tooth 

And a face like a China moon 

Them biker gals squealed when he'd flip his hair back 

Step up to the mic and croon 

Filipino Ray was a smiler 

Quick with a tale or a joke 

And more than happy to lend you his ear 

Especially if you had brought him a fresh bourbon and coke 

Filipino Ray had seen his share of demons 

And many days of black 

But when he picked his guitar and sang back to the bar 

He pissed the monkey off his back 

Now Filipino Ray he could belt it out 

Like you would not believe 

It's been 5 years for this guitar man 

Since he rolled up his sleeve 

Now Filipino Ray he's a smiler 

Quick with a tale or a joke 

He'd likely as not give you the shirt off his back 

All over bourbon and coke
