Gonna buy me a graveyard of my own

kill everyone who ever done me harm
Then go tell Ivy, oh-oh

I did it for Ivy, oh-oh

(during vocals of 3rd verse drums only)
Well, jawbone eat and jawbone talk
jawbone eat you with a knife and fork
I was hunting for niggers down in the dark
but out of a sudden I had a better thought
Let's go hunt Ivy, oh-oh
let's go get Ivy, yeah-yeah
for the love of Ivy, oh-oh
you're the one
(starting during the last line of the chorus the music turns into an extended
atonal noise while the vocals continue with endless phrases about Ivy)
I did it for Ivy
I did it for Ivy
I did it for Ivy
I did it for Ivy
Ivy
Ivy.....
(guitar fades out by going down with half note steps from note B to E as at the
beginning, during closing line drums only)
Ivy
Ivy
I want you, Ivy
I want you, Ivy
I need you, Ivy
I need you, Ivy
come to me, Ivy
come to me, Ivy
I need you, Ivy
Ivy

E G
I was all dressed up like Elvis from hell, hell!
