Van Halen - Tattoo Lyrics

Tattoo, tattoo

I got Elvis on my elbow
When I flex, Elvis talks
I got hula girls on the back of my leg
And she hulas when I walk

Screaching cherry red
Screamin' electric green
Purple mountain's majesty
Really talk to me Talk to me, babe

Swap meet Sally, tramp stamp Kat
Mousewife to momshell in the time it took to get that new tattoo
Tattoo, tattoo

(Tattoo, tattoo) Show me your dragon magic
(Tattoo, tattoo) So autobiographic

Best believe that needle won't hurt you
Best to see these true colors, than to follow one of your false virtues

Here's a secret to make you think
Why is the crazy stuff we never say, poetry in ink?
Speaking dayglow red
Explode-o pink, purple mountain's majesty
Show me you, I'll show you me

Swap meet Sally
Tramp stamp Kat
Mousewife to momshell in the time it took to get that new tattoo
Tattoo, tattoo

(Tattoo, tattoo) Sexy dragon magic
(Tattoo, tattoo) So very autobiographic
(Tattoo, tattoo) Got a hold on me
(Tattoo, tattoo) Put a spell on me

Uncle Danny, had a coal tattoo
He fought for the unions
Some of us still do
On my shoulder is the number
Of the chapter he was in
That number is forever
Like the struggle here to win

(Everybody!) Swap meet Sally
Tramp stamp Kat
Mousewife to momshell in the time it takes to get that new tattoo
Tattoo, tattoo

(Tattoo, tattoo) Sexy dragon magic
(Tattoo, tattoo) So very autobiographic
(Tattoo, tattoo) Got a hold on me
(Tattoo, tattoo) Put a spell on me
(Tattoo, tattoo) I'm in love with you
(Tattoo, tattoo) Show me me, show me you
(Tattoo, tattoo) Look at me, look at you (tattoo, tattoo)
