Titties & Tires By Uncle John
~ inspired by my work friends

I (G) used to have a woman and a new Chevrolet
But the (C) payments on em’ drove me away
If it’s got (D) titties or tires it’s gonna be trou- (G) ble.

She had (G) thirty pairs of shoes seventeen coats.
But if (C) things weren’t right I was always the goat.
If it’s got (D) titties or tires it’s gonna be trou- (G) ble.

Carburetors, transmissions and washing machines
Cost more money than I ever seen.
If it’s got (D) titties or tires it’s gonna be trou- (G) ble.

If it (G) aint one thing it’s always something else
Gimme (C) money for this or get the hell out
If it’s got (D) titties or tires it’s gonna be trou- (G) ble.

Titties and tires, give me miles and miles of smiles
But they always turn out to be trouble.

Thanks Oily.  I'd love to have Toby Kieth do it.  Or Dwight Yoakum.   Maybe they could clean it up to Mammaries and Michelins.   Actually, I was gonna  use Mammaries, but I can not spell it.

And here I was, thinkin' "Mammaries and Michelins" wouldn't stand a chance...

Dangit, John, you gotta get someone in Nashville to record this.

Thanks Shane.  

Jabes?   I did not know what an earworm is.  Looked it up.  (LOL)

An earworm is a piece of music that sticks in one's mind so that one seems to hear it, even when it is not being played.

Thanks: Phillip-- I think they are tetons in your French.   There is a mountain range in the western US called the Grand Tetons, which I think that most people do not know - roughly translates to 'big tits'.

 

Chris:  I support tatties too.

Johno:  Thanks!
