The Slide Annotated

I've got nothing about gay guys
But, faggots, just like a cunt.
Years ago, wherever we could spot them,
Handels down, Alabama, small town
We'd take the ha, ha, so ha, I he'd
Do the slide
Do the slide
Baby you better slide

Now they got their own baths, yay,
With entertainers, and shit
From the opera. Man.
Famous names. Man
Big ones
But we know what they do
It's not the same thing
It's guys like me, who, who, do, do, who,
Hate them, beat them, Do, Do
Want to beat them. Do.

They want to beat them
They want to gang a suck off
Show them that they wanna, Bang! go,
Taka a slide

Man you better, you understand
What I'm saying, DECIDE

I only let a lady
Put a needle in my arm
It's too intimate for cats
Like sex with a rag on.

When she does it without a tie, hey
She's one of the guys. Man
She don't have to Slide. Who
Except for the big ones. Do
