Twice Damned
By:The Blues Hound

[Uptempo Blues]

Well. . . 

Here's a 'lil story 'bout a poor 'lil zoo:
All of it be fiction, yet it's somehow true. 
A plain young man with interestin' taste
Hooked his heart up to a husky, chaste. {deep laugh}Hey, I needed a rhyme

It may seem like nothin' to a zoo or someone who knows
Just how good an animal's love can be, you know, the way it always goes! 
But ya can't have fun without havin' trouble, 
And in this poor boy's case it was double! 

(Chorus one)
Yes he's twice damned by the love he chose
Doubly hated and with indecision froze
He just can't win but he can't lose
And that's the simple reason that he's got the blues! 
I know you think that I'm just pullin' your legs, 
But just let the Lord have mercy or the devil be gentle, he begs! 

Well, nature was obligin', he was downright kind, 
But mankind acted like he'd lost his mind! 
Fumin' and fussin' in a blinded rage, 
Actin' like a madman let out of his cage! 

Screamin' and yellin' 'bout separation's clear, 
Shoutin' "Don't be bringin' your deviance here!"
{I sort of swung it so that an instrument solo could be placed here 
without hurting the song}
And please don't think that's all I've got to tell
It's only half of this tale of a livin' hell. 

(Chorus two)
Oh he's twice damned by the love he chose
Doubly hated and by intolerance squoze
He can do no right, yet, do no wrong
Ya can tell he won't be on this old earth for long! 
I know you think that i'm just pullin' your legs, 
But just let the Lord have mercy or the devil be gentle he begs! 

But THEN he announced his heart was rigidly true
In his own words "Baby, I'm only for you."
Mankind was condecending barely batted an eye
The said "Monogamous? Alright we'll let that slide."

But nature was always one who hated to be mocked
And it really despised havin' the boat rocked. 
"You just don't mess with the way it's done, 
If you continue I'll make sure you're roastin' under the sun!"
(repeat chorus one)
Twice damned by the love he chose!
