Two Tub Man Lyrics
I am a pilgrim looking for danger
I am an outlaw, I am a stranger
I'm just a clown walking down the street
I think Lou Reed is a creep
I need a girl I need release
I can go anywhere, people look and people stare
They all know that I'm the one, not to let your son become
What I want to do I do, who I want to screw I screw
Playin in a heavy band, guess I'm just a Two Tub Man
I drink Coca cola for breakfast
I've got Jackie Onassis in my pants
I'm never gonna watch channel 13
Edumacation ain't for me
I'm so drunk I can barely see
I can go anywhere, people look and people stare
They all know that I'm the one, not to let your son become
What I want to do I do, who I want to screw I screw
Playin in a heavy band, guess I'm just a Two Tub Man
I never graduated from high school
I wore paisley I was too cool
I think color TV's a gas
I think Joe Franklin is real flash
I don't mind if I gotta kick your ass
I can go anywhere, people look and people stare
They all know that I'm the one, not to let your son become
What I want to do I do, who I want to screw I screw
Playin in a heavy band, guess I'm just a Two Tub Man
I am an outlaw, I am a stranger
I'm just a clown walking down the street
I think Lou Reed is a creep
I need a girl I need release
They all know that I'm the one, not to let your son become
What I want to do I do, who I want to screw I screw
Playin in a heavy band, guess I'm just a Two Tub Man
I've got Jackie Onassis in my pants
I'm never gonna watch channel 13
Edumacation ain't for me
I'm so drunk I can barely see
They all know that I'm the one, not to let your son become
What I want to do I do, who I want to screw I screw
Playin in a heavy band, guess I'm just a Two Tub Man
I wore paisley I was too cool
I think color TV's a gas
I think Joe Franklin is real flash
I don't mind if I gotta kick your ass
They all know that I'm the one, not to let your son become
What I want to do I do, who I want to screw I screw
Playin in a heavy band, guess I'm just a Two Tub Man

I love this song. Took me five listens before catching the Lou Reed reference.
Nothing mysterious or confusing about the meaning of the lyrics in general, but I would like to know exactly what the phrase "two tub man" means.
I was sure hopin' someone else here might know. My guess is it started as meaning a dude that's got two tubs? Like, 'My house is so plush, I can bathe or pee in two seperate locations. I have arrived! Feast your eyes on my glory.' Then the song ended up not being about that at all lyric-wise but they decided to keep that chorus part 'cause it sounds cool. And they may have thought it might stir up some chatter about, 'what the hell does 'two tub' mean?' which might gain them some attention. Look it's finally working! Yeah,...

Yeah, pretty lousy theory but I ain't heard a better one. D.F.F.D.
The chorus sounds just like "Shoot Em Down" by Twisted Sister.
It's just like the Dictators to rip off somebody's derivative music - before it existed.

Not.
Not.
Mark Mendoza, TS's bassist, was in the Dictators until 1978. So yeah... I guess the moral there is do your research.
There are some hilarious lines in this song, like "I've got Jackie Onassis in my pants," the aforementioned Lou Reed reference, and one of the first usages of the term "edumacation."
