King Cotton - It Should've Been Me Lyrics

As I passed by a real fine hotel

A chick walked out she sure looked swell

I gave her the eye and started to carry on

When a Cadillac cruised up and 'swish' she was gone


It should've been me

With that real fine chick

It should've been me

With that real fine chick

Hey hey hey hey driving that Cadillac


A little later on a theater I passed

I spotted another chick and did she have class

I was all set to write her name in my book

When her husband came up and gave me a real dirty look


It should've been me

With that real fine chick

It should've been me

With that real fine chick

It should've been me

To have been her chaperone


When I got to the corner I saw a sharp cat

With a 300 dollar suit on and a 100 dollar hat

He was standing on the sidewalk by a DynaFlow
When a voice within said "C'mon daddy let's go"

It should've been me

With that real fine chick

It should've been me

With that real fine chick

It should've been me

Hey hey hey hey driving that DynaFlow


I ate a bowl of chili and I felt ok
At least until I passed this fine cafe

I saw a guy eatin' a great big steak

While a waitress stood by feedin' him ice cream and cake


It should've been me

With that real fine chick

It should've been me

With that real fine chick

You know it should've been me

Eatin' ice cream and cake


It should've been me

Gettin' my natural kicks

It should've been me

Gettin' my natural kicks
It should've been me

Hey hey hey hey lovin' those crazy chicks
