lyrics

He'd never go down with the ship
He's likely dozing in the crypt
And he'll take what he can get
I bet he's jonesing for a fix
But he's not licked yet, he said
No, he's not licked yet, no no, he's not licked yet
And then he gave us all the slip
And now he's dozing in the crypt
Trying to keep from getting wet
As it goes drip, drip, drip
But he's not licked yet, no no
No he's not licked yet, he said, he's not licked yet
It's not as bad as it looks
You gotta trust me on this one, he said
It's not as bad as it looks it is
It's not as bad as it is
He's just dozing in the crypt
This is just temporary, he said
He's just on holiday in hell. All's well.
It's not the plague, he's not that sick
So don't you cut him to the quick
It's what they used to call the grippe
And it goes drip, drip, drip
But he's not licked yet, down there
No he's not licked yet, he swears
But he's not licked yet, down there
He's not licked yet

He'll never go down with the ship
He's only dozing in the crypt

about

The Claudettes Chicago, Illinois

The Claudettes stare down dark personal and national moods, seizing high times on the road and on their best album yet. Piano is still the core of the Claudettes' music, but Berit Ulseth's sublime vocals steal the spotlight on the band's fifth release. Produced by Grammy winner Ted Hutt, this richly atmospheric album conjures images of Julie London and Allen Toussaint in a '60s hot-rod band. ... more
