I got Elvis on my elbow
and when I flex Elvis talks
I got hula girls on the back of my leg
and she hula's when I walk
Speak in cherry red
Screaming lectric green
Purple mountain's majesty really talk to me
Talk to me babe

Show me your dragon magic
(Tattoo, tattoo)
So autobiographic!
Best believe that need will work you
Best deceive these true colours that follow one of your false virtues
Here's a secret to make you think
Why is the crazy stuff we never said poetry in ink
Speak in day-glow red
Explodo paint
Purple mountain's majesty tell me you, I'll show you me

You put a spell on meeeee!

Uncle Danny had a gold tattoo
He fought for the unions

On my shoulder is a number of the Chapter he was in
That number is forever like the struggle here to win
Everybody!

Now I think I've got it. He's singing about the his new chance with Van Halen...
"show me your dragon magic" and "You put a spell on meeeee!", it sounds a bit gay at first, but if you think of it as a spell to breathe life into Van Halen again, to summon the devil and the good out of all that is magical and grate in the classic Van Halen, it's about to become true again!
PLUS all these impressions about "mousewife to momshell" or bombshell, they are about the past years of him solo...and Van Hagar...that it's returing into a life...where TATTOO is the symbol of the new Van Halen...
FOOKIN' ACE!!!
