[Verse 1] Taking on weight in Hot Springs Kickin’ up my feet for once Sleeping in ’till the sun cools off Ain’t about to get much done Movin’ slower than molasses My nose up in the ‘lectric fan Holed up like a bandit In some unholy land Taking on weight Taking on weight in Hot Springs again
[Verse 2] Tumble out a bed for biscuits Wander up to Bathhouse Row Folks, they don’t know what they’re missing I’ll send ’em all a card back home Moving slower than molasses I’ll get there but I don’t know when Won’t be hoppin’ on no tractor Won’t be jumpin’ on no stick Taking on weight Taking on weight in Hot Springs again
[Verse 3] Makin lotta’ friends in Hot Springs Slummin’ at the Waukesha Gamblers from Chicago Had some run-in with the law Moving slower than molasses Ain’t nobody gives a damn It’s a long way back to Stumptown A long way back to camp Taking on weight Taking on weight in Hot Springs again
[Verse 4] Moving slower than molasses I’ll get there but I don’t when In The Valley Of The Vapors Soak myself in bathtub gin Taking on weight Taking on weight in Hot Springs again
