Lyrics

Fit To Be Tied

A jellyfish won't keep me from setting sail
A horsefly won't make me leave the trail
But tell me you got syphillis and I'll turn pale
Some things get me fit to be tied

A hair in my steak won't make me send the meal back
A weevil in my cornstarch is a protein-filled snack
But a centipede will give me a heart attack
Some things get me fit to be tied

Chorus:
Fit to be tied, fit to be tied
Some things cause me to seize up inside
I'll space between us ten miles wide
If you get me fit to be tied

Rocky Mountain oysters sure can't be beat
A fried-up scorpion can taste mighty sweet
But stomaching tofu's a Herculean feat
Some things get me fit to be tied

Chorus

Dirty Dozen and Brian's Song get me to sign
Holding my newborn just sailed right on by
A scratch on my truck and I break down and cry
Some things get me fit to be tied
