Skinny Sweaty Man Lyrics

Flashin' lots of cash and spendin' lots-o-loot
He's sitting at the bar- then he's sittin' at the booth
Across the dance floor he did scoot
He's the skinny sweaty man in the green suit

The caboose that could he goes toot toot
Been known to gag and sometimes puke
A very good friend of Granny Goose
He's the skinny sweaty man in the green suit

Skinny sweaty man in a green suit

He's half man and half cartoon
But good buddy don't been confused
He's fully blooded looney tune
He's the skinny sweaty man in the green suit

Face to face with the man in the moon
His family doctor is Doctor Seuss
If you catch him in your soup please don't shoot
He's the skinny sweaty man in the green suit

Skinny sweaty man in a green suit

He was new in town
A free wheelin' clown
A funny young dke
Hangin' under the roof
Of a place in time
United sound

He'll play a little guitar sing a few blues
He's the kinda-a-guy that you can't refuse
Despite the fact that he's no brute
He's the skinny sweaty man in the green suit

Strike the magic groove make him jerk and move
LIke an eight leged freak in snake skin boots
Coming soon to a theatre near you
He's the skinny sweaty man in the green suit

From someone who has followed Red Hot Chili Peppers from a young age and read lots on the internet about them, I knew this fact also.

I believe it says this in the autobiography as well, but at the time Hillel Slovak had taken drugs to a whole new level. He was left before shows unable to play. He was indeed a "Skinny, Sweaty Man".

I really like this song, because it's so different from anything I ever heard. I wont delve into the meaning of this song. Or why and how the Peppers wrote it. Cause I think it is intimate to them, and would be mean if I just made cold observations about them.. But anyway if you are in a hyper mood this song will really tire you out if you dance to it..
