Send "Tush" Ringtone to Cell

I been up, I been down.
Take my word, my way around.
I ain't askin' for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush.

I been bad, I been good,
Dallas, Texas, Hollywood.
I ain't askin' for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush.

Take me back way back home,
not by myself, not alone.
I ain't askin' for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush.

    Song Meaning:The song is a double entendre: See, in the Z's native Texas, "tush" rhymes with "bush" means a girl's butt but rhymes with "rush" means "adequate" or "good enough". Of course, only people in Texas would get the double entendre.
    Great song!

    General Comment:Only ZZ Top pronounces "tush this way. Why? (Other than to rhyme with other lines; they could have come up with alternate lyrics) Although it is spelled "tush," I've always heard it pronounced "toosh" (rhymes with bush) not "tush" (rhymes with lush). No wonder why everything thinks they are saying "touch."
