I been up, I been down.
Take my word, my way around.
I ain't askin' for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush.
I been bad, I been good,
Dallas, Texas, Hollywood.
I ain't askin' for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush.
Take me back way back home,
not by myself, not alone.
I ain't askin' for much.

I'm just lookin' for some tush.

Only ZZ Top pronounces "tush this way. Why? (Other than to rhyme with other lines; they could have come up with alternate lyrics) Although it is spelled "tush," I've always heard it pronounced "toosh" (rhymes with bush) not "tush" (rhymes with lush). No wonder why everything thinks they are saying "touch."
Easy... It's ALOT easier to get songs played on the radiop when the lyrics can be easily confused for something innocent. The true meaning of the song is there for those who know the lyrics...

Greatest rock song ever!

The song is a double entendre: See, in the Z's native Texas, "tush" rhymes with "bush" means a girl's butt but rhymes with "rush" means "adequate" or "good enough". Of course, only people in Texas would get the double entendre. Great song!
Really? How about in native English now? Tush rhmes with bush everywhere and means butt. The problem is they pronounce it wrong, certainly for some reason. Not because it rhmes with bush as that word is not used in the song. The best and worse answer is because it rhmes with much.
