I LEARNED HOW
TO WRITE IT
WHEN I FIRST
STARTED SCHOOL
SOME BULLY
DIDN'T LIKE IT
HE SAID
IT DIDN'T SOUND
TOO COOL
SO I HAD TO HIT HIM
AND ALL I SAID
WHEN THE BLOOD CAME
IT'S MY LAST NAME
GRANDPA TOOK IT OFF
TO EUROPE
TO FIGHT THE GERMANS
IN THE WAR
IT CAME BACK
ON SOME DOG TAGS
NOBODY WEARS
NO MORE
IT'S WRITTEN ON
A HEADSTONE
IN THE FIELD
WHERE HE WAS SLAIN
IT'S MY LAST NAME
PASSED DOWN
FROM GENERATIONS
TOO FAR BACK
TO TRACE
I CAN SEE
ALL MY RELATIONS
WHEN I LOOK INTO
MY FACE
MAY NEVER
MAKE IT FAMOUS
BUT I'LL NEVER
BRING IT SHAME
IT'S MY LAST NAME
DADDY ALWAYS TOLD ME
FAR BACK AS I RECALL
SON YOU'RE PART
OF SOMETHIN'
YOU REPRESENT US ALL
SO KEEP IT HOW
YOU GOT IT
AS SOLID AS IT CAME
IT'S MY LAST NAME
PASSED DOWN
FROM GENERATIONS
TOO FAR BACK
TO TRACE
I CAN SEE
ALL MY RELATIONS
WHEN I LOOK INTO
MY FACE
MAY NEVER
MAKE IT FAMOUS
BUT I'LL NEVER
BRING IT SHAME
IT'S MY LAST NAME
SO DARLIN'
IF YOU'RE WONDERIN'
WHY I'VE GOT YOU
HERE TONIGHT
I WANNA BE
YOUR HUSBAND
I WANT YOU TO BE
MY WIFE
I AIN'T GOT MUCH
TO GIVE YOU
BUT WHAT I'VE GOT
MEANS EVERYTHING
IT'S MY LAST NAME
OH IT'S MY LAST NAME
I LEARNED HOW
TO WRITE IT
WHEN I FIRST
STARTED SCHOOL
