Verse 1

The other day I took a fishin' trip

Just me an' my boat, and ol' Banjo-lip

 Banjo was my guide, an old colored fella'

He wasn't very dark, he was a high-steppin' yella'

 So we launched my boat, and I cranked my motor

And up to my nose came a terrible odor

 I looked all around trying to find something dead

But it was Banjo with his arm up, scratching his head.

Some niggers never die, they just smell that way.

Verse 2

Now the more he'd scratch, the more he'd sweat

And I'm here to say, he was a-chokin' me to death

So we loaded up, I just couldn't go on

And I coughed and I gagged-all the way home.

When I dropped him off, I was next to dyin'

My nose was a' running, and my eyes were a' cryin'.

The smell scorched the hair right out of my nose,

And when I got home, I had to burn all my clothes!

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3

I recuperated quick, I was thankful for that

I was only in bed for a week and a half.

The very first day I was up on my feet.

I went to the supermarket, down the street.

I shopped all around, and I filled out my order,

My groceries were bagged by a fat nigger porter.

The air conditioner was broke, an' I was ferocious

Cause' it was hot, and that nigger was a-sweatin' on my groceries!

Repeat Chorus

Verse 4

The vegetable and greens I bought started wilting

My blood pressure rose, and I could have killed him!

I was gonna smash him all over that place,

But he raised up his arm, and I fell on my face!

Now I'm here in the hospital, and at the ceiling I stare,

I could have whipped that nigger, except he used germ warfare!

So from now on, I'll carry a long, long stick,

Cause if I keep from the smell, then I'll have him licked!

Repeat Chorus
