Rare hi-fi mono recording of popular 1930's "Backhand Swing" Gypsy-Jazz single by Ringo "Ring Finger" Whitemin. Ringo wrote this song about living the good life before the imminent wave of feminism would destroy the world he loved.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is the life
This is good living (can you hit me?)
I can b*tch slap my wife
If she doesn't listen

[Turnaround]
I'll slap a b*tch
(He'll slap a b*tch)

[Verse 2]
This is the life
Every fight I'm winning (you win)
She can't make decisions
Without my permission

[Turnaround]
I'll slap a b*tch
(He'll slap a b*tch)

[Chorus]
I'm feeling good, this is the life
I'm living in the best of times
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling right
I'm slapping a b*tch tonight
Oh f*ck yeah

[Bridge]
Quit all your b*tchen (all my b*tchen)
Or they'll have to send me to prison

[Verse 3]
Women shouldn't drive
Women can't fly a plane (no no)
I hope things stay the same
But if things ever change

[Turnaround]
I'll slap a b*tch
(He'll slap a b*tch)

[Chorus]
I'm feeling good, this is the life
I'm living in the best of times
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling right
I'm slapping a b*tch tonight
Oh f*ck yeah

[Outro End]
I'm slapping a b*tch tonight
