Lyrics
Now, cat, don't touch that gal there, please
You'll get wasted down to your knees
No, I don't like to brag
I don't like to say what I'll do
But I'm like poison ivy
I'll break out all over you
Every day when I shave, wearin' my house coat
Two men have to hold me or I'll cut my throat
No, I don't like to brag
I don't like to say what I'll do
But I'm like poison ivy
I'll break out all over you
Well, I bought me a blade, one that I could afford
Too long to be a knife, and too short to be sword
No, I don't like to brag
I don't like to say what I'll do
But I'm like poison ivy
I'll break out all over you
Last night some cat got smart with my niece
Now, he wears a sign sayin' "Rest in Peace"
No, I don't like to brag
I don't like to say what I'll do
But I'm like poison ivy
I'll break out all over you
Now, I don't claim to be bad, don't claim to be strong
I just like to keep bad people from doin' me wrong
No, I don't like to brag
I don't like to say what I'll do
But I'm like poison ivy
I'll break out all over you
