>Jimmy's got a little bit of bitch in him
>The bitch in him
>Upsets the Jim
>Jimmy's got a little bit of bitch in him
>The bitch in him
>Outweighs the Jim
>Jimmy's got a little bit of she in he
>But when he pee, he see
>
>Reality can be a-stiff sometimes
>But then again it can be flexible
>Depending on the angle of the dangle
>Increased by the heat of the meat
>And with the proposition that all men are not created equal
>So why frown?
>Yeah, even the sun go down
>We'll call it mixed emotions for now
>Play on, Jimmy
>Jimmy's got a little bit of bitch in him
