Lyrics

There's nothing on t.v. but a thing
Called scarecrow and mrs. king
You sit and watch it while your wife
Becomes the play thing of another man's life:
It don't bother me, I'm a toady -
I'm john bonham's coke roadie

Your life is totally out of step
But so what? - I'm with the zep;
I don't wash dishes or pay the rent -
I just depend on john getting bent:
It don't bother me, I'm a toady -
I'm john bonham's coke roadie

It's amazing what goes through your brain
As I frantically sweep the little grains:
Think of fidelity! think of the fools!
Marriage destroys you - stick to drum stools
It don't bother me, I'm a toady -
I'm john bonham's coke roadie

We tour through cities; I see life -
And someone is next to your wife;
The only thing that can't be canned
Is scrambling under the high hat stand:
It don't bother me, I'm a toady -
I'm john bonham's coke roadie
