Rappin’ Rodney 7 Version by Rodney Dangerfield Lyrics
[Intro]
I'll tell ya, I'm alright now
But last week I was in rough shape
But I don't get a break with nothin'!
[Verse 1]
I played hide n' seek when I was three
(No respect, no respect)
No one would even look for me
(No respect, no respect)
I was an ugly kid, I never had fun
(No respect, no respect)
They took me to a dog show, and I won!
(No respect, no respect)
When I was born, I brought no joy
(No respect, no respect)
My old man said he wanted a boy!
(No respect, no respect)
I was an ugly kid, always alone
(No respect, no respect)
Halloween, I had to trick-or-treat over the phone
(No respect, no respect)
[Pre-Chorus]
Friends don't call, my phone don't ring
I don't get a break with anything!
(What's the matter, Rodney?)
Ah, Death! Where is thy sting?
[Chorus]
It's just Rappin' Rodney, ain't wrapped too tight
No, no, Rappin' Rodney, get outta sight
It's just Rappin' Rodney, make no mistake
Poor old Rappin' Rodney, can't get a break!
[Verse 2]
I'm getting old, it's hard to face
(No respect, no respect)
And during sex I lose my place
(No respect, no respect)
Steak and sex, my favorite pair
(No respect, no respect)
I have them both the same way, very rare!
(No respect, no respect)
I know I'm old, I could go any minute!
(No respect, no respect)
I got a kidney-shaped pool with a stone in it
(No respect, no respect)
Dr. Vinnie Boombatz, that's another one
(No respect, no respect)
I said I wanna stop aging, he gave me a gun!
(No respect, no respect)
[Pre-Chorus]
I told him I got water on the knee
He gave me a sponge, and raised his fee!
(What's the matter, Rodney?)
Ah, it ain't easy being me!
[Chorus]
It's just Rappin' Rodney, ain't wrapped too tight
No, no, Rappin' Rodney, get outta sight!
It's just Rappin' Rodney, make no mistake
Poor old Rappin' Rodney, can't get a break!
[Verse 3]
Nothing goes right, I just can't fight it
(No respect, no respect)
Well, Eastern Airlines thanked me for flyin' United!
(No respect, no respect)
I got some money, what did I do?
(No respect, no respect)
I bought some quicksand, the deal fell through!
(No respect, no respect)
My car broke down, I called Triple A
(No respect, no respect)
They left the car and towed me away!
(No respect, no respect)
I can't take it no more, I'm getting too old!
(No respect, no respect)
I called Suicide Prevention, they put me on hold!
(No respect, no respect)
[Pre-Chorus]
Winter, summer, spring and fall
I'm always up against the wall!
(What's the matter, Rodney?)
Ah, I don't get no respect at all!
[Chorus]
It's just Rappin' Rodney, ain't wrapped too tight
No, no, Rappin' Rodney, get outta sight!
It's just Rappin' Rodney, make no mistake
Poor old Rappin' Rodney, can't get a break!
[Outro]
It's gettin' worse, it's caving in
The heaviness, I can't take it no more
It's all over... hey, where are my kids?
Somebody help me! Hey, bartender! Hey!
Who's that guy with my daughter?
Where's my wallet? How do I get outta here?
Stop that dancing...!
I'll tell ya, I'm alright now
But last week I was in rough shape
But I don't get a break with nothin'!
[Verse 1]
