One, two, three, start
Be stiff, b-abies be stiff
Fruit ooze is wetly lewd
Stay dry in rubber boots and
Be stiff, b-abies be stiff
Cucumbers ripe and rude
Bend over fixed to shoot and
Be stiff, b-abies be stiff
Breath hard in metal suits
Live right make lots of loot
Be stiff
(Short Guitar Solo)
Be stiff, b-abies be stiff
Wet women waste your food
Go solo no no two's and
Be stiff, b-abies be stiff
Watch out for fruits and mutes and
Deep sleepeers jerk the root
So be stiff, b-abies be stiff
Breath hard in metal suits
Live right make lots of loot and
Oh be stiff
(Long Solo - Same Chords as Intro+Verse)
Be stiff, b-abies be stiff
Fruit ooze is wetly lewd
Stay dry in rubber boots and

Breath hard in metal suits
Live right make lots of loot an
Oh be stiff
