lyrics

Knuckle Sandwich

Hey little boy you wanna sandwich to eat
It can make your mouth flow and it tastes pretty neat
I can feel good when I feed you some food
You're gonna eat my knuckle sandwich on white
Can't throw a football you don't know how to fight

Don't hang around don't you tag on along
'Cause all our men are big and strong
Go to your bedroom read your science magazine
Gonna eat my knuckle sandwich on white
Can't throw a football you don't know how to fight

Legs are thin and your arms of flab
And your stomach is mush and you walk like a fag
Don't come around I'm gonna give it to you
You're gonna eat my knuckle sandwich on rye
Can't throw a football you don't know how to fight

You study hard get the top grades in class
Miss Lander's pet 'cause you never would sass
When the bell rings I'm kickin' your ass
Gonna eat my knuckle sandwich on white
Can't throw a football you don't know how to fight

Waltz this way
I can beat you up fag
Weirdo - weirdo
I can beat you up weirdo - weirdo

Momma's little boy always stay close to home
Play with you sister can't you leave her alone?
Splash in your pool daddy bought just for you
Gonna eat my knuckle sandwich on rye
Can't throw a football you don't know how to fight

Your sister want to leave she's goin' out with her boyfriend
He comes to pick her up he will not pretend
He hates your little guts about the same as me
He says, Hey little boy play in the street
