And two bodies are layin' naked

A creeper think he got nothin' to lose
[Bridge]

So he creeps into this house, yeah

And as a man's reaching for his trousers
D B D B
Shoots him full of thirty-eight holes
[Chorus]
D B D B
Mr. Saturday night special

Got a barrel that's blue and cold

Ain't good for nothin'
A B A B
But put a man six feet in a hole

To the bottom of the sea

Before some ol' fool come around here

Wanna shoot either you or me
[Chorus]

You got a barrel that's blue and cold
