Lyrics

I tire of your mind games.
I’m sick of playing Don’t Wake Daddy.
Good sir, no more Rock, Paper, Scissors for me.
But wait, are we not civilized gentlemen here?
I challenge you to a battle of knifes!

KNIFE FIGHT,

You’re gonna fight for your life!

KNIFE FIGHT,

You’re gonna fight with a knife!

KNIFE FIGHT,

A really really really sharp knife!

YEAH, KNIFE FIGHT!

I’m a crazy (crazy) son of a bitch!

I’ma cut you! (Cut you!)

Swish swish!

In a knife fight! (Knife fight.)

Knife fight! (Knife fight.)

Knife fight! KNIFE FIGHT!

NEIL: Let me tell you something: I can’t be beat.
MARTY: Oh yeah?
NEIL: Yeah. Cuz I’m the king of the street!
MARTY: Well guess what, man: I’ll pin you to the wall!
NEIL: Oh yeah?
MARTY: Yeah, your knife is way too small!
NEIL: Hey! My knife is super sharp and that’s what counts! I’m gonna make you bleed copius amounts!
MARTY: Yeah well I’ll be sure to thank you right after I shank you!
NEIL: Punk.
MARTY: Dweeb.

KNIFE FIGHT,

You’re gonna fight for your life!

KNIFE FIGHT,

You’re gonna fight with a knife!

KNIFE FIGHT,

A really really really sharp knife!

YEAH, KNIFE FIGHT!

I’m a crazy (crazy) son of a bitch!

I’ma cut you! (Cut you!)

Swish swish!

In a knife fight! (Knife fight.)

Knife fight! (Knife fight.)

Knife fight! KNIFE FIGHT!

NEIL: I’m gonna slice you up!
MARTY: I’m gonna cut you down!
NEIL: I’ll put you in your place!
MARTY: I’ll put you underground!
NEIL: This is the END for you, you gutter crawling cur!
MARTY: I’ve got a TIP for you, get the POINT?
NEIL: Yeah, sure.
MARTY: It’s time to face the music!
NEIL: Time to face the facts!
MARTY: Time to bite the bullet!
NEIL: Time to pay the tax!
MARTY: I’ve got a blade of fury.
NEIL: I am a ball of rage.
MARTY: You ready, sucka?
NEIL: Born ready.
BOTH: ENGAGE!

KNIFE!

CUT!
STAB!
KNIFE!
OW!
POKE!
KNIFE!

MARTY: Hey wait a minute here!
NEIL: Oh, what is it?!
MARTY: Knifes are dangerous, we could get hurt!
NEIL: Hurt? …I don’t want to get hurt.
MARTY: Who does!
NEIL: Okay well, in that case, I challenge you to a…
BOTH: TICKLE FIGHT!

Tickle fight! It’s a tickle fight!
Don’t bring no knife to a tickle fight!
Just bring your fingers, bring a feather, and
Everyone can sing together, now:

Tickle fight! Tickle fight!
La-dee-da dum dum tickle fight!
Tickle fight! Tickle fight!
Whoopy-doo zig zag tickle fight!

Ding dong doodly
Nick nack noodly
Fee fi fo fum kitten kaboodly!
Tickle fight! Tickle fight!
Tickle Tickle Tickle fight! HEY!

MARTY: That was fun. Where’s my knife?

Trivia

• This is Lemon Demon’s first collaboration since Clown Circus, on which he had two songs with guest vocals.
• This is Neil’s first song to use a ukelele.
• The proper plural of the word knife is in fact knives, not knifes as used throughout the song. This was intentional.
• This song uses the word knife more than any other song Neil’s ever released, at a whopping 33 times. There’s only two other songs to even use it at all, those being Hyakugojyuuichi 2003, with one use, and Mugged, with two uses.
• The “Tickle Fight” verse was performed by Homepie at Lemonic Demonade 2007
