Tell me darling
Why you wanna drive my gasket down
Tell me darling
Why you drive my gasket down
All them unwanted children
Never be forgiven now
Hear them drivin'
Miles out of town
Hear them drivin'
Miles out of town
All them engines
All them holes all in the ground
Sister grindin'
All around your daddy's knee
Sister grindin'
All around your daddy's knee
Sister grindin'
All around your daddy's knee
I don't need no gasket
Just to grind
Just grind all over me
