From what you have of the song it seems pretty much dead on, just a shame you're missing the solo.
I believe the lyrics between stanza 6 and 7 are, " Said it weren't none of mine. Bam-a-lamb the damn thing gone blind." What happened to <"Well she's shakin that thing. Bam-a-lamb she really makes me sing.", and " She's from Birmingham. Bam-a-lamb. Way down in Al-a-bam."???
