Into operations about a month ago
A stranger came
a walking kinda a cool and slow
He carried him a club and a bullwhip too
And he looked like he was looking for a butt to chew
Well pilots started quaking
All the men were shaking
SHAGNASTY
He said, I’m Lash Shagnasty
And he says, I’m mean
I’m a new broom that’s a gonna sweep clean
I’m giving you a warning about the things you do
There’s a right way, a wrong way, and my way too
Well if you do it my way you’ll keep earning flight pay
SHAGNASTY
*Chorus
Well we wore jump boots, flight suits, helmet liners too
Sleeping bags and field bags wherever we flew
Lash wasn’t happy ‘til we all felt crappy
SHAGNASTY
He said I want this place a looking like it’s fit to kill
Everything got painted that was standing still
In a little while we had a real bad scene
He yelled, some dirty bastard painted old Jeep green
When he saw what he had painted
Hadley nearly fainted
SHAGNASTY
**Repeat Chorus
Well, if you’re still a wondering who it is we mean
Look until you find a dog that’s painted green
Lash will be somewhere in the neighborhood
Just chewing on the britches of old Jim Good
If you don’t believe it
Come on out and see it
SHAGNASTY
