I was thinking that the 2nd verse:

With a mouth like a trucker
And a laugh like a hyena
This rowdy wild woman
Known as Tattoo Tina

could be the chorus or part of it since it ends with Tattoo Tina.

I was hoping to put something in about "her teeth in my beer". That actually happened once to a fellow band member
at a hole in the wall gig we were at.

I'm about to head out of town, I've got a gig playing bass this weekend, so I will not be around for the fun.

I like Ernie's suggestion of Vs 2 for the chorus.

OK, so that would be something like

First time I saw her
Was at the Cadillac Bar
Swigging drinks with the fellas
And smokin' a cigar

With a mouth like a trucker
And a laugh like a hyena
This rowdy wild woman
Known as Tattoo Tina

From the skull on her neck
To the chain ‘round her ankles
She was covered in art
That hid all the wrinkles

From the mug on my table
She drank all my beer
Then loudly boasted,
“I can out-drink any man here”

She slammed the mug down
Sat backwards in a chair
And stared while waiting
For my answer to her dare

She had a mouth like a trucker
And a laugh like a hyena
This rowdy wild woman
Known as Tattoo Tina

I ordered twelve pitchers
And looked in her eyes
I could swear I heard hissin'
From the snakes on her thighs

I drank and then she drank
My head began buzzin'
And when we drank those
I ordered another dozen

My stomach was bloated
And my speech was slurred
The room started spinning
And my vision was blurred

With a mouth like a trucker
And a laugh like a hyena
This rowdy wild woman
Known as Tattoo Tina

I woke the next morning
To the laugh of a hyena
And tattooed on my arm
Was “I lost to Tina”

All the men were laughing
I swear this is to be true
That all of them showed me
They wore the same tattoo

Beware, beware of Tina with tattoos
She'll drink til you drop
And leave you the bill for the booze


It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
