Howdy, New York City! How you doing? Long time no see, huh? You want to know how I keep this tired, battered, old body in shape? Yeah! The same way we'll get the whole goddamn world into shape! Drugs... sex... and rock 'n' roll! Drugs, sex, rock 'n' roll! Drugs, sex, rock 'n' roll! Drugs, sex, rock' n' roll! Yeah? What's going on down there? They keep handing her bottles up on the stage. Shit! Thank you. Sometimes people say to me, "When's the first time you ever heard the blues?" I tell them, "The day I was born." You know why? You know why? Why? Why? Because I was born a woman! Aah! We got some noisy females in the house tonight! Being a woman is so interesting. What are we, ladies? We're waitresses at the banquet of life! Get into that kitchen and rattle them pots and pans! And you better look pretty goddamn good doing it, or you'll lose your good thing. Why do we do that? We do that to find love. Oh, I love to be in love. Ain't it just great to be in love? Ain't it just grand laying in your bed waiting for your man to show up? When he finally does about 4:00 in the morning with whiskey on his breath and the smell of another woman on his person... Honey, I can smell another woman at 500 paces. That's an easy one to catch. Oh, mama's getting nasty. So what do you do when he smells of another woman? Do you say, " Honey, let me open up my loving legs. Dive in. The water is fine?" Is that what you say, girls? No! No! Or do you say, " Fuck this shit? "I've had enough of you, "you asshole! " Pack your bags! "I'm putting on my little waitress cap, "and I'm gonna find me a real man, a good man, a true man!" I'll tell you something. I actually thought I found myself one.
