I heard that Opie Taylor was Liz Taylor's son They lived in Mount Pilot 'til the summer of '71 And they were as close as burger to a bun I heard they were as close as a burger to a bun And one Christmas he spent a month out in the shed Building a gun that shot out lipstick instead of lead In every kind of color but never ever red Aqua Blue, Canary Yellow, Chocolate... But never ever red She would use it on Sundays just before dusk Aiming her cannon at the Carolina sun
She would aim it the neighbors just to see 'em all run... Aiming at the neighbors just to see 'em all run And it made her as happy as a rebel on the run And it made her as happy as a hag on a hunt And it made her as happy as a pigskin after the punt And it made her as happy as a priest on top of a nun And it made her as happy as preposition in a pun And it made her as happy... As lipstick in a gun
