[Verse 1]
Fat white skin on the devastated leather
Touch the leather leather, touch the leather leather
Oversold skin on the soggy soggy leather
Touch the leather leather, touch the leather leather
Tight black skin in the baggy leather
Touch the leather leather, touch the leather leather

Me and my baby going to touch that leather
Me and my baby going to touch that leather
Me and my baby going to touch that leather
Me and my baby going to touch that leather
[Verse 2]
Nashville skin on the Tupelo leather
Touch the leather leather, touch the leather leather
Left-wing skin on the right-wing leather
Touch the leather leather, touch the leather leather
Out-of-date skin on the new-age leather
Touch the leather leather, touch the leather leather
I saw salmon-pink skin in the happy birthday leather, oh
Touch the leather leather, touch the leather leather
[Chorus] x2
