People see me walking down the street, they all run and hide. I used to take it personally, now I take it in stride. I got nothing against no one, I wouldn’t hurt a fly. But people seem to think I’m mean, and here’s why:
Chorus
I’m a Pit Bull A big brown, red-nosed pit bull. A tooth-bearing, muscle-bound Pit Bull. I look like I could tear the steel off a locomotive freight train.
People park three spaces when I’m waitin’ in the car. All the kids in the neighborhood, they never walk through my yard. There’s a rumor floating ‘round the county that I ate three cats. But I swear from the bottom of my canine heart that I didn’t do that, no I didn’t do that.
But I’m a Pit Bull, A tooth-bearing, muscle-bound Pit Bull. A big brown red-nosed Pit Bull. I looks like I could dig a hole through a concrete wall.
Bridge
I got these Pit Bull Blues, All I wanna do is sniff your shoes, I ain’t no killer hound. No, I’m the friendliest dog in town.
The sheer sound of my barking could break through arctic ice. But deep down, I’m a pussy cat; I’m just trying to be nice. In case you didn’t notice, I’m wagging my tail at the speed of light. But no matter what I do, I’m accused of looking for a fight.
‘Cause I’m a Pit Bull, A tooth-bearing, muscle-bound Pit Bull. A big brown red-nosed Pit Bull. I look like I could crush a cannonball in my jaws.
But I couldn’t do any of those things.
THE CHORDS:
Note: On the record, I didn’t play the C on the second measure in the verses, but I do now, and it sounds better that way.
