Waitin' to leave the Twin Cities
Killin' some time on a toilet seat
The Senator loved danger/Lookin' for a stranger
Signalin' in code with his nervous feet

Wonderin' what would happen/Proud Larry kept on tappin'

Larry was layin' out a rhythm
Waitin' for an answer from the guy next door
He realized his blunder/When a hand came reachin' under
With a big, shiny badge that he couldn't ignore

Larry had to go to the station
For bein' disorderly and publicly lewd
The cop interrogatin'/while Larry was relatin'
That the actions of his feet were being misconstrued
He said he was protectin' his pants/By adopting an extra-wide stance
And he was tappin'… CCC A CCC A CCC A G FFFF D


He didn't want to sign a confession
But a quorum call was comin', and he had to go
He said, "I'm not gay, but I'll sign it anyway--
And hope it doesn't make the news in Idaho."
But, folks, that's just what happened/When Proud Larry got caught tappin'.
Tappin' (3) in the crapper."
Tappin' (3) in the crapper."
