Les Claypool - Filipino Ray lyrics

Filipino Ray, he can sing it out Like you would not believe Always had his blond freckle-faced lady Dangling from his sleeve Filipino Ray, he played an old Les Paul Big ol' jumbo fret Had scars up on the headstock From where he kept his lit cigarette Filipino Ray had a fang tooth And a face like a China moon Them biker gals squealed when he'd flip his hair back Step up to the mic and croon Filipino Ray was a smiler Quick with a tale or a joke And more than happy to lend you his ear Especially if you bought him a fresh bourbon and coke Filipino Ray had seen his share of demons And many days of black But when he picked his guitar and sang back to the bar He pissed the monkey off his back Now Filipino Ray, he could belt it out Like you would not believe It's been five years for this guitar man Since he rolled up his sleeve Now Filipino Ray, he's a smiler Quick with a tale or a joke He'd likely as not give you the shirt off his back All over bourbon and coke
