99 Biker Friends Lyrics
Bowling For Soup
Such A Big Man, Such A Little Chick.
I Think It All Goes Back To Your Tiny
Pick- Up Truck In The Driveway,
With A Sticker On The Window
"rest In Peace Number 3".
Tell All Your Friends
How You Put Her In Her Place.
7 Pounds Of Makeup
Just To Hide Her Beat Up Face.
Such A Pretty Face.
[chorus]
It Takes A Tough Man To Slap Her Around.
Such A Bad Guy To Keep Such A Good Girl Down.
She's Wearing Shades
Behind The Tinted Glass.
And I've Got 99 Biker Friends
That Wanna Kick Your Ass.
Tell Her That You're Sorry.
Blame It On The Beer.
Your Dad Was Mean To You.
Your Friends Think You're An Asshole
And I Do Too.
Over Compensatin' For Your Small Shoes.
Takin Her Away, But You Won't Say When.
Hold Her In Your Arms,
Tell Her This Won't Happen Again.
When Will This End? Well
[chorus]
I Wish Bruce Lee Was Here Right Now
With His Trusty Nun-chucks
Chuck Norris Is Still Alive,
So Let's Call Up Walker, Texas Ranger,
All The Dudes From "danger, Danger".
Let's Get The A-team,
50 Cent With His Bling-bling,
And A Couple Of Prison Guards.
[chorus]
Start Runnin' Now.
We're Gonna Kick Your Ass!
