I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just need someplace where I can lay my head
Hey mister can you tell me where a man might find a bed?
He just grinned and shook my hand and no was all he said

Take a load off fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me

I picked up my bags, I went looking for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the devil walking side by side
I said: Hey Carmen, come on let's go downtown?
And she said: I gotta go, but my friends will stick around

And you can take a load off fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off fanny
And (and, and)
And you can take a load off fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me
