3. Oh, I searched from coast to coast from Florida to CanadaWith me heart upon me sleeve screamin' out "Hi, where are yeh"'Tit I went home with a six foot girl from the South Side of ChicagoBut it turned out she was a man, oh can you imagine the disaster?But the sweetest girl of all was from the state of CaliforniaAh, she took me home to bed, kept me rockin' 'til the mornin''Tit the door came crashin' in, in the midst of me shenanigansAnd her husband beat me up so bad, I'll never get it up again
