Pound Of Flesh

Lyrics: Matthews, Nagle
Music: Matthews, Nagle

A Tubes song played by Vince Welnick with The Affordables in 1992

He kicks sand in my face
Now I'm a disgrace
On the beach
I might not have his tan
I don't look half the man
But I'm easy to reach

Next time he works out at the gym
Check the difference between me and him

'Cause I'm your ninety pound weakling
With a pound of flesh
When you're hot as a sauna
Try me and you're gonna
Feel cool and refreshed

I'll make sure when you see me
You will get no rest
I'm a lover not a fighter
Won't you spend a one nighter
With my pound of flesh

When he looks in the mirror
It just brings him nearer to God
He acts like a human
But [?] I understand
It's just not enough

Although I look skinny and weak
I make up what I lack in physique

'Cause I'm your ninety pound weakling
With a pound of flesh
When you're hot as a sauna
Try me and you're gonna
Feel cool and refreshed

I'll make sure when you see me
You will get no rest
I'm a lover not a fighter
Won't you spend a one nighter
With my pound of flesh

'Cause I'm your ninety pound weakling
With a pound of flesh

'Cause I'm your ninety pound weakling
With a pound of flesh

'Cause I'm your ninety pound weakling
With a pound of flesh
