[C] [G]
I got nipples on my titties, big as the end of [C] my thumb.
I got something between my legs, gonna make a dead man cum.
[Ab] Oh, daddy,
[B] baby, won't you shave them [A] dry?
[C]
No, no, no!
[Bb] Want you to grind me, baby, grind me until I [Am] cry.
[Bm] Say I've fucked all night and all the night before, baby,
and I feel just like I wanna fuck some more.
[B] Oh, great God, daddy, grind me, honey, [F] shave [C] me [A] dry.
[G] And when you hear me holler, [Em] baby, I want you to shave me [Am] dry.
I [C] got nipples on my titties, big as the end [G] of my thumb.
[C] Daddy, you say that's the kind of woman you want, and you can make them cum.
[Bb] Oh, [F]
daddy, [C] shave me dry.
[G] And I'll give you something, [D] baby, where it'll make [C] you cry.
I'm gonna [B] turn back my [C] mattress and let you oil my springs.
I want you to grind me, daddy, till the bells do ring.
[F] Oh, daddy, want you to shave [Am] me dry.
[G] Oh, great God, daddy, if you can't shave them, baby, won't you try?
[C] Now, if fucking was a thing that would take me [B] to heaven,
I'd be fucking in the studio till the clock's back to level.
[F] Oh, daddy, daddy, [C] shave me dry.
[G] I would fuck you, baby, honey, I'd make you [C] cry.
[F] Now your nuts hang down like a damn bell clapper,
and your dick stands up like a steeple.
Your goddamn assholes stand open like a church door,
and the crab walks in like people.
[D] Ow!
[F]
Ow! Ow!
Stop!
[A]
Woo!
[G]
[C] Baby, won't you shave them dry?
A big sow gets fat from eating corn,
and a pig gets fat from sucking.
[B] Really, you see this whore of [B] fat?
Like I [C] am, great God, I got fat to fuck.
[C]
Woo!
Shave them dry!
Oh, bloody, don't [A] bloody.
[Bb]
[C] [Am]
My back is made of whale bone,
[C] and my cock is made of brass,
and my fucking is made for working men's two-dollar [G] grad garden round to [C] kiss my ass.
[Cm]
Ow!
Woo!
Daddy, shave them [A] dry!
[Bb] [Bm] [Cm]
