One, two
One, two, three
Say what you will but I'm a stinker
I come crawling up out of my hole
Dirt in my toes, dirt up my nose
I'm a perfect curse to pest control
Seeds and weeds and muddy meals
Crawling around the earth
Down in the ground where the sun don't pound
Ohh, I hibernated in English turf
Better believe it, I'm a stinker
Burning vermin stink
Watch me get as high as a heat wave honey
Tell me what your hound dogs think
Set in my style with a beady eye
I got connections with the underground
Call me a common rodent boy
Sitting here safe and sound
Better believe it, I'm a stinker
Burning vermin stink
Watch me get as high as a heat wave honey
Tell me what your hound dogs think, yea
Aoo, better believe, I'm a stinker
Burning vermin stink
Watch me get as high as a heat wave honey
Tell me what your hound dogs think
Some mole hill mother sauntered by
Acting like the ace of spades
Ohh, don't give that cutey no reason to shoot me
When I'm living on the eggs she laid
Ohh, better believe it, I'm a stinker
Burning vermin stink
Watch me get as high as a heat wave honey
Tell me what your hound dogs think
Stinker, stinker
Hey, better believe it, I'm a stinker
Yes me, burning vermin stink
Watch me get as high
Watch me get as high as a heat wave honey
Tell me what your hound dogs think
Aoo, better believe it
