tuesday morning now
I gotta have somewhere to go
I call up tommy now
I call him on the telephone
won't you wake up and come with me now
I'm going to the pawn and loan
walking down thirty three
walking on thirty o
(yeah)
what am I supposed to think
I drop a nickel in a sink
I love people like a brother now
but i'm not gonna be their mother now
what if someone walked up to me
and like an apple cut right through me
I'm not just gonna stand there grinnin
cause I'm not the one who's sinnin
screwdriver
whoo-hoo
hoo-hoo
now that you have heard my story now
I've got a little ending to it now
whenever you go out alone
take a little dog a bone
and think about your little sister
and then you got to drive it home
screwdriver
I got a little feeling goin' now
I got a little feeling goin' now
I got a little feeling goin' now
I got a little feeling goin' now
I got a little feeling goin' now
I got a little feeling goin' now
I got a little feeling goin' now
I got a little feeling goin' now
I got a little feeling goin' now
I got a little feeling goin' now
I got a little feeling goin' now
now now now

Jack White:
"We were just goofing around. We just started doing this riff and there
was this screwdriver laying there in the room so I started singing about
it - what I'd do with it - ya know being angry. We thought it sounded
really good and we thought why don't we work on this."
Jack White:
"I'd got threatened that week, just walking up the street and
[Screwdriver] was retaliation. This feeling that I owe somebody I don't
even know something, and at the same time my life is threatened. Like the
line, 'I love people like a brother now/But I'm not going to be their
mother now.' I don't need to owe anybody, I need to protect myself."
