Stinker

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1974

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

I hibernate 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 you hound dogs think

 

Set in my styles with a beady eye

I got connections with the underground

Call me a common rodent boy

Sitting here safe and sound

 

Some mole hill mother sauntered by

Acting like the ace of spades

Don't give that cutey no reason to shoot me

When I'm living on the eggs she laid

 

Done
