Lyrics for Apache Rose Peacock as interpreted by shut

Apache Rose Peacock Lyrics
Sittin' on a sack of beans
Sittin' down in New Orleans
You wouldn't believe what I've seen
Sitting on that sack of beans

Lunatics on pogo sticks
Another southern fried freak on a crucifix
Hicks don't mix with politics
People on the street just kickin' to the licks

[chorus 1]
Yes my favorite place to be
Is not a land called Honah Lee
Mentally or physically
I wanna be in New Orleans

Oh good brother just when I thought
That I had seen it all
My eyes popped out, my dick got hard
And I dropped my jaw

I saw a bird walkin down the block
Name Apache Rose Peacock
I could not speak I was in shock
I told my knees to please not knock

(repeat chorus 1)

A little boy came along
Name of Louis Armstrong
Said that girl who left me silly
She liked the looks of me and my willy

So I found her in the quarter
Good God how I adored her
Oh she made me feel so cozy
When she told me I could call her Rosey

[chorus 2]
I kiss your hair your skin so bare
I'll take you with me girl anywhere
You fare well in stormy weather
I never met a girl that I liked better

Twinkle twinkle little star
Shining down on my blue car
Drivin' down the boulevard
She was soft and I was hard

Apache Rose gotta rockin' peacock
Hottest ass on the goddamn block
Rockin' to the beat of the funky ass meters
She has one of those built in heaters

(repeat chorus 2)

Voodoo gurus casting their spells
Cockatoo drag queens shakin' their bells
Silver sound escapes the trumpet
Watch your leg someone might hump it

Chicken strut your butt let's rock
Gettin' it on under your frock
Flowing like a flame all through the night
My girl's insane but it's all right

(repeat chorus 1)

About some fun at Mardi Gras (or just in New Orleans at any time), I'd presume. Anyway, 'tis one of my favourite Peppers tunes.

This song references a lot of culture from new orleans and some influences of the chili peppers, louie armstrong the meters(chicken strut). This song kicks ass!

This song is amazing - really funky with a great bassline... I suggested to my teachers we sing this in choir... Needless to say they were not amused!

The majority of this album was Anthony being led around by his dick.
The beauty of it is though, that it never once sounds like he is boasting about what a player he is and it always comes off, sounding like a spiritual thing.

i love the way that anthony's voice goes all over the place, but you can still tell what he's saying... i got the honah lee reference... reminds me of yertle the turtle on either their first or second album.

the first time i heard this song, i was laughing and clapping by the end of it. Its such a fantastic, energetic song which makes you wanna jump around to, and sing to the world. The lyrics are incredible and are written in a kind of story form. just another great chili tune

well, this song is just the summum of funky. it means to me all the funky spirit that the RHCP (best band ever) got since 1984. it has got references to influences, it has got sex lyrics, and it is one of the best chili's songs.

I love anthony's voice in this song!

well, im nto sure about the rosie bit, but louis armstrong was a jazz/50s rock n' roll musician who starred in a film called new orleans. i think flea was a fan. most dizzy gillespie fans also like louis.
