Three HUndred Pounds of Joy - Howlin' Wolf
HOY! HOY! I'm the boy!
I got 300 lbs of heavenly joy!
Awright, back to work.
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
