This was the first Buttafü-tune we wrote, on the day of the first Buttafü-show, on the day that Buttafüko was born. I came up with the chorus. Jeremy wrote the verse riff. Paul Stanley from KISS traded us the verse lyrics for letting him use Jeremy's "Psycho Circus" concept. Jeremy: Asshole.
lyrics
Street hustler comes up to me one day and I'm walkin' down the street mindin' my own bidness
Now he looks me up and he looks me down and says
"Hey, man! Now what be this, and what be that,And why you gotsta look like that?"
Well, I just looked at him and kinda laughed and said "I am cool... I'm in Buttafüko!" So
BUKU FUCK YOU, BUKU FUCK YOU, BUKU FUCK YOU BUKU FUCK YOU
BUKUFUCKYOUBUKUFUCKYOUBUKUFUCKYOUBUKUFUCKYOU
'Cause We're Buttafüko! (BUTTAFÜKO!!) We're Buttafüko! (BUTTAFÜKO, BUTTAFÜKO!!)
We're Buttafüko! (BUTTAFÜKO!!) We're Buttafüko! (BUTTAFÜKO, BUTTAFÜKO!!)
Now we ain't always winners, but this is the life that we choose
And we won't change, or rearrange, and we ain't ever, ever gonna LOSE!
It ain't always easy, when the goin' gets rough
But now we're gettin' even, we're gonna show ya our stuff, Lemme tell ya 'bout...
(bridge, chorus, solo, chorus, etc., etc.)
