[Intro]
Ladies and gentlemen, live from the Peppermint Lounge, The Cramps!
[Verse 1]
Well, here comes the one that you've been dreaming of
I'm the most exalted potentate of love
I got a mojo hand and it fits like a glove
I'll be comin' 'round the mountain to get your love
I'm the most exalted potentate of love (Yes I am)
[Verse 2]
Yes, I'm the celebrated Hottentot of twat
Make a hole, look out, make way for the big shot
I'm a thank you dear, my turtle dove
Ride the range up to your love
We'll a-have big fun on the bayou, son of a gun
[Guitar solo]
[Bridge]
Mad, you call me mad?
I who have the secret of eternal love?
You call me mad?
Well, I'm the most exalted potentate
The most exalted potentate
The most exalted potentate of love
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I can teach you how to read the book of life
But you can just look at the pictures if you like
I'm a thank you dear, my turtle dove
Ride the range up to your love
We'll a-have big fun on the bayou, son of a gun
