Lyrics for Song: Fight And Scratch
Lyrics for Album: Once More (w Dolly Parton) (RCA Victor) [1970]
(Dolly Parton)
Fight and scratch, fight and scratch
That's all we ever do
There surely must be more to love
Than to fight and scratch with you
You, you, to fight and scratch with you.
Well, you just bought a foal last month
Now you want a wig
It looks like you couldn't understand
My paycheck ain't that big.
Well, what about the dough you lose
In them poker games downtown
(I figured you'd mention that smart aleck)
Yeah, and that brand new boat and that fishin' gear
But no, uhhuh, I don't reckon that'd count, really.
Fight and scratch, fight and scratch
That's all we ever do
There surely must be more to love
Than to fight and scratch with you
You, you, to fight and scratch with you.
Sometimes I swear I think that you're
The devil in disguise
'Cause when you're mad you oughta see
The fire fly from your eyes.
Well, you don't look so cute yourself
When you're mad at me
And if you don't like the way I look
Then you know how to leave.
Fight and scratch, fight and scratch
That's all we ever do
There surely must be more to love
Than to fight and scratch with you
You, you, to fight and scratch with you.
Well, I love you and you love me
But we're always findin' fault
But the way we fight you wouldn't know
We had any love at all.
We just fight like cats and dogs
We'll leave then come right back
For what excitement would we have
If we didn't fight and scratch.
Fight and scratch fight and scratch
That's all we ever do
There surely must be more to love
Than to fight and scratch with you
You, you, to fight and scratch with you.
Why don't you drop dead oh you'd like me to
And I'll live forever just for spite
Why don't you keep your big mouth shut
Well, why don't you just make me
If you think you're big enough.
Yeah, and I could whip you
With both hands tied behind
Yeah, you just try it with me
And I'll knock your brains out.
With a stick of soap that's good Catfish
What's a catfish why'd you call me that
They're all mouth and no brains boy that's really good
It's all I can do to keep from laughin', hah
That's funny, you sure are a funny little fellow...
