I was born one night about twelve o`clock
(Ha-ha-ha)
I come in this world playin` a gold guitar
My father was around stickin` out his chest
(Hee-hee)
A-now, mama this boy he gon fee` you a mess
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Yeah! Yea-ha, Ooh, uh-huh

Now, people came from miles around
Yeah, just to hear my little guitar sound
Now, some of `em said I had what it takes
If I keep on practice I`d be famous one day
(Ha-ha)
Woo, I`m a mess!
I`m a killer-diller
Uh-huh, yea-hey, a-uh, uh-huh

Early in the middle of the night
A car drove up with four headlights
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Now, a man stepped out wit` a long cigar
He said, `Sign this line and I can make you a star`
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
I said, `Now, what`s in it man, what`s in it for me?`
He says, `I`d, play yo` guitar son and wait an see`
Here I am! (heh-heh-heh, heeee)
The girls liked me, they say, `It`s crazy, it sound nice
Uuh-uuh

My first engagement was in Chicago
<I`m playin` with my band and they`re playin` tonight>
I played fo` some people I`d never seen before
<I`m playin for the fans, what the fans all like>
It was good too (ha-ha-ha-ha)

<Who wants our band>
<But like the parents can`t handle it>
They like it
<What the fans, what the fans all like>
Sound nice
<If my fans can`t handle it>
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
<Now, we`re playin` and we`re singin` our song>
Yeah, ah-ha-ha-ha
<Ev`rything is goin` our way>
<What the fans, what the fans all like>
Yeah, man
<What the fans, what the fans all like>
FADES-
I`m killer-diller
<What the fans, what the fans all like>
I`m `on killa diller.
