C position pitched B
I feel like scrappin', startin' a great big old row,
I say, I feel like scrapping, startin' a great big old row,
Because the woman I love, say she don't want me no how.
She swore that she loved me, but I know she's doin' me wrong.
Ah, she swore that she loved me, but I know she's doin' me wrong.
I'm gon' start something, man, and I tell you that it won't be long.
The way I feel now, I could get a keg of dynamite,
I say, the way I'm feelin' now, I could get a keg of dynamite,
Put it all in her window, and blow her up late at night.
I could swallow some fire, take a drink of gasoline,
I could swallow some fire, take a drink of gasoline,
Blow it up all over that woman, and let her go up in steam.
I'm gon' get in a cannon, and let 'em blow me out to sea.
I'm gonna get in a cannon, and let 'em blow me out to sea.
Goin' down with the whales, let the mermaids makes love with me.
