Yee-haw! merciful sakes alive! you wanna be one aâ them cbers, you gonna learn how to ratchetjaw! pay attention now; Iâm only gonna explain it to ya once.
You gotta go runninâ amuck in a pick-âem-up truck
With one aâ those fancy sidebands?
Get four-on-the-floor and two on the door
Get a power mike in yer jaw-hand
Prepare to strike when ya key the mike
âcause ya never know whoâs a-listeninâ
Some clown insists on a 10-36
This hereâs what you give âim:
Four, good buddy, I made me a study
Anâ I figger itâs the dark aâ the moon, son
Itâs half-past spring anâ a quarter ta fall
Anâ the big handâs a-settinâ on noon, son
Now if the fish donât bite and the almanacâs right
And the groundhog sees his shadow
A 10-36 goes tick-tock-tick.
And thatâs what I call ratchetjaw!
Gotta git ya a base, out there at yer place
With a forty-foot pole on the chimney
With a thousand watts in yer flowerpots
And a ree-mote line in the biffy
If ya feel a twitch when ya throw the switch
Ya gonna dim all the lights in wichita
Gonna send out a wave ta make the government rave
And this hereâs whatcha tell âem all:
Yeah, four, good buddy, yer cominâ in cruddy
But yer walkinâ right through my wall, boy
Yer carrierâs cool, you makinâ me drool
You were definitely battinâ my ball, boy
You hittinâ me round about fifteen pound
You cut me up like a bandsaw
But what the heck, itâs just a radio check.
And that thereâs how to ratchetjaw
[cb conversations. theyâre overlaid, as if youâre listening to a party line.]
[womanâs voice] breaker, breaker, breaker, breaker. we lookinâ for that one buffalo roy out there. buffalo roy, whatâs your twenty? where are you anyway, buffalo roy? are you out there? come on
Ere, buffalo roy. 10-4.
[manâs voice] lissen, you. shut up on all them breakers. one breakerâs enough. [words missing]...channel all the time. canât hear a damn thing anybodyâs sayinâ.
[c.w.] buffalo roy? thatâs a dumb handle.
Wanna feel some pain? just turn up yer gain
Get a fearful earful aâ garbage
Ta suppress a belch, just hit yer squelch
You can cut out all the carnage
You wanna have fun, you son-of-a-guns
Just get on the press-ta-talk switch
You gonna amuse âem anâ really confuse âem
With a little olâ thing called ratchetjaw
Yeah, let them suckers think yer a trucker
Say stuff they canât understand, son
Just bounce up-anâ-down while yer toolinâ around
Gonna sound like a truck-drivinâ man, son
Just tell yer beaver that you gonna leave âer
You catch her on the bounce-around
If she comes back with a smart-off crack
Say x-y-l, itâs show-anâ-tell. we definitely got us to go now.
Keep yer pants on honey, hang onto the money
Yer x-y-mâs gotta blow now
Eighty-eight, thirds, and feed my bird
Anâ all them numbers upon ya all
If speed donât kill, then cb will.
And thatâs what I call ratchetjaw
[more cb conversations.]
Breaker, breaker, breaker, breaker, breaker, breaker, [repeated almost ad infinitum, punctuated by bouts of laughter]
[manâs voice. begins deep, slowly rising to shirley and squirrely squeakiness.] yeah, 10-4, we got ya, breaker. come back on that? say, what kind aâ... sânot? some kind aâ cotton-pickinâ... you
Nâ me on, arenât cha? yeah, you puttinâ me on, arenât cha? [laughter] 10-4. 10-4.
