Rare performance of "Steve" by the Ghettobillies

In honor of International Ghettobillies Day Monday May 25 (and of course the Ghettobillies themselves), enjoy this performance never before seen! Recorded on the set of "...and Introducing Brian," this was played in front of just a couple of dozen crew members and actors. However they continue to play with the tenacity we expect of one of the best bands of all time - yes, all time!

LYRICS (let me know if any are wrong):

Shes a drag queen on the movie screen,
Shes a low ball mover if you know what I mean,
Shes in the fast lane,
Pullin the chain
Yeah, she eats whole grain, shes insane, shes a great dane,
Well, shes got a teddy on tight,
Shes feelin alright,
Shes gonna score like a whore if it takes her all night,
Shes on the dance floor,
Her feet are sore,
Yeah, well, her tights are torn,
She wants more,
You know that she couldnt be anymore sure,

A little rouge, a little lipstick, fake eyelashes will do the trick,
Yeah, shes lookin fine,
Some guy just bought her a bottle of wine,
Yeah, well, it works every time,
She knows its a sign when all the boys are standin in line,

Chorus
Shes a beauty queen,
Some things aint what they seem,
Cmon and take a chance,
Never mind the lump in her pants and that her name is Steve

I noticed that her arms had a little more hair,
And something was moving in her underwear,
But I said, Its all in your head,
Well, just get her in bed, make her face turn red,
The girl is finer than Wendy Whitebread.
And a little more drinks and a couple of winks,
I know that you know what Im startin to think
Im gonna get her home,
Well, Im gonna get her alone,
Im gonna get her stoned, Im gonna show her my bone,
But little did I know she had a bone of her own,

Chorus (x2)

To say I was surprised,
That a weathered-out disguise,
would be an understated, overrated, out and out and lie,
and to think I knew,
well, I had a couple of clues,
could it be the size 13 shoe?
Well, who woulda knew?
Maybe it was her,
and I foxy brand new,
and I walked into the John,
and I thought that she was gone,
I heard a sound,
I turned around,
And there was Stevens schawanz,
yeah, her bowl of fruit,
yeah, well her skin flute,
yeah, well her bag of loot,
I thought I smelled Brute,
You know I cant help it, but I think that shes cute

Chorus

Lyrics correction: " The girl is finer than Wendy Whitebread". (from a porn comic in the 90's called "Wendy Whitebread: Undercover Slut". She had a "vag badge".) Google it.

Thanks for posting! I saw the Ghettobillies open for The Dan Band in Milwaukee in April 2006 and they opened with ‘Steve’. It’s an awesome live number, nothing like the version on Some Rezeev, which I still think is great. Look forward to seeing Katastrofist.

come back to the bbc in milwaukee as the new band Katastrofist
