The other day I took a fishin' trip Just me and my boat, and no Banjo lip Banjo was my guide, an old colored feller He wasn't very dark, he was a high-steppin' yeller So we launched my boat, and I cranked my motor And up to my nose came a terrible odor I looked around, tryin' to find somethin' dead But it was Banjo with his arm up, scratchin' his head
Some niggers never die They just smell that way
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 dine My nose was-a-runnin, and my eyes were-a-cryin' The smell scorched the hair right out of my nose When I got home I had to burn all my clothes
Some niggers never die They just smell that way
I recooperated 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 and I was ferocious 'Cause it was hot and that nigger was-a-sweatin' on my groceries
Some niggers never die They just smell that way
The vegetables and greens I bought started wilting My blood pressure rose, and that could've killed me 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 coulda whipped that nigger, 'cept he used germ warfare So from now on I'll carry a long, long stick 'Cause if I can keep from the smell, then I'll have 'em licked
