Stinky
Whit Whitman
Lyrics
Verse 1We lived in a duplex, with heat in the vents,
something was creeping in with a terrible scent.
My girl kept looking at me like a crime,
spraying the room like a Febreze shrine.
I said, “It ain’t me,” she said, “Don’t lie,”
hit me with perfume every time she walked by.
Pre-Chorus
We lit up candles, scrubbed every inch,
She swore it was me, and I had no defense
Chorus
My girlfriend thinks I smell like death.
She even said it was my bad breath.
Maybe the gas maybe my farts.
If we don’t figure it out it will tear us apart.
Verse 2
I bought a bag of lime, dumped it out by the air,
thinking some critter had died under there.
We rubbed menthol under our noses
hoping that tomorrow it would smell like roses
Bought a voodoo bag with a one-star review,
hoping old magic could pull us both through.
Pre-Chorus 2
smelled so bad we thought we would die
living in the stench and making up lies
Chorus
My girlfriend thinks I smell like death.
She even said it was my bad breath.
Maybe the gas maybe my farts.
If we don’t figure it out, it will tear us apart.
Bridge
A neighbor came knocking, voice low and worn,
asked if we’d seen the man from next door.
And suddenly, every smell became okay
When we realized the man next door
had passed away
Final Chorus
My girlfriend thinks I smell like death.
She even said it was my bad breath.
Maybe the gas maybe my farts.
If we don’t figure it out it will tear us apart.
