Bitin’ List Lyrics

[Chorus]

To put it plain, I just don't like you

Not a thing about the way you is

And if there ever come a time I got rabies

You're high on my bitin' list

To put it plain, I just don't like you

Not a thing about the way you is

And if there ever come a time I got rabies

You're high on my bitin' list

[Verse 1]

Yeah, you're high on the list

Of people gettin' bit if they gave me a week or two

Before my brain was so inflamed, the spirit left my shoes

I'd wanna kiss my wife, I'd wanna hug my baby

But, when my goodbyes are through

Foamin' at the mouth, high in the hackles

Motherfucker, I'ma come for you

[Chorus]

To put it plain, I just don't like you

Not a thing about the way you is

And if there ever come a time I got rabies

You're high on my bitin' list

[Chorus]

To put it plain, I just don't like you

I never really have and I never really did

And if there ever come a time I got rabies

You're high on my bitin' list

[Verse 2]

Seizure fraught spinal rot

I'd wanna be with the ones I love

But in the light of the moon, with everybody sleepin'

I'd draw me a little bit of blood

With time so small, my list ain't many

My list is short and few

And the thing about it is

Everybody on the list is comin' in after you

[Chorus]

To put it plain, I just don't like you

Not a thing about the way you is

And if there ever come a time I got rabies

You're high on my bitin' list

To put it plain, I just don't like you

Not a thing about the way you is

And if there ever come a time I got rabies

You're high on my bitin' list

[Outro]

You're high on my bitin' list

You're high on my bitin' list
