Laugh and say I’m green
I’ve seen things you’ll never see
Talk behind my back
I’m off the beaten track
I’ll take on anyone
Ain’t scared of a bloody nose
Drink until I drop down with one eye on my clothes

What is it?
I’ll take it
Who is she?
I’ll rape it
Got a bet there?
I’ll meet it
Getting high?
You can’t beat it

Doctor Jimmy and mister Jim
When I’m pilled you don’t notice him
He only comes out when I drink my gin

You say she’s a virgin, but I’m gonna be the first in
Her fellah’s gonna kill me?
Oh fucking will he?
I’m seeing double
Don’t miss me if you can
There’s gonna be trouble when she chooses her man

What is it?
I’ll take it
Who is she?
I’ll rape it
Got a bet there?
I’ll meet it
Getting high?
You can’t beat it

Doctor Jimmy and mister Jim
When I’m pilled you don’t notice him
He only comes out when I drink my gin

Is it me?
For a moment
     The stars are falling
     The heat is rising
     The past is calling

I’m going back soon
Home to get the baboon who cut up my eye
Tore up my Levis
I’m feeling restless
Bring another score around
Maybe something stronger
Could really hold me down

What is it?
I’ll take it
Who is she?
I’ll rape it

Got a bet there?
I’ll meet it
Getting high?
You can’t beat it

What is it?
I’ll take it
Who is she?
I’ll rape it

Doctor Jimmy and mister Jim
When I’m pilled you don’t notice him
He only comes out when I drink my gin

Is it me, for a moment?
     The stars are falling
     The heat is rising
     The past is calling
