The Story

Recovered lyric sheet. Questionable condition.

Legend has it that Mud Butt was written in under fifteen minutes after an especially unfortunate stop at a Brooklyn diner. Whether that is true has been debated by absolutely nobody.

The sheet below was found folded into the back of a damaged lyric notebook alongside a diner receipt, two cigarette filters, and an unpaid rehearsal-space invoice. The ink is inconsistent, the spelling is suspicious, and at least one margin note appears to argue with the song itself.

For readability, a complete searchable text version appears underneath the recovered image.

Mud Butt Lyrics

Last night I ate bad fish
Today I’m makin’ a new wish;
God, just get me through the day
‘Cause I think I’m gonna pay.
My belly’s gurglin’ and a-groanin’
And I’m sittin’ here a-moaning
I’m feeling really screwed
What am I a-gonna do, I got….

Mud-butt: and it’s running through my pants
Mud-butt: I’m in a diarrhea trance
Mud-butt: it's a-seepin' through and through
Mud-butt: there ain't nothin' I can do
I gotta get home fast
‘Cause I got an acid ass
Yea, I got mud-butt!

I’m standing in a movie line
With a girl I think’s so fine,
But my stomach’s doing flips
Think I’m gonna have the shits.
She smiles and grabs my hand,
Lord, this isn’t what I planned;
I’ve really gotta go
‘Cause my ass is gonna blow, I got….

Mud-butt: and it’s running through my pants
Mud-butt: I’m in a diarrhea trance
Mud-butt: it's a-seepin' through and through
Mud-butt: there ain't nothin' I can do
I gotta get home fast
‘Cause I got an acid ass
Help me, God
I got mud-butt!

On a subway late at night
And I’m feeling quite alert,
‘Cause my anus it’s been twitching
And I think I’m gonna squirt.
Gotta get home really fast
‘Cause this dam’s about to blast;
And I try to squeeze a fart,
But it turns into a shart, now I got….

Mud-butt: and it’s running through my pants
Mud-butt: I’m in a diarrhea trance
Mud-butt: it's a-seepin' through and through
Mud-butt: there ain't nothin' I can do
I gotta get home fast
‘Cause I got an acid ass
Jesus Christ!
I got mud-butt!

Keep it together! keep it together!
My underwear’s getting brown and wetter;
Can’t move fast enough
My ass is burnin’ from this stuff, oh, God, I got

Mud-butt: and it’s running through my pants
Mud-butt: I’m in a diarrhea trance
Mud-butt: it's a-seepin' through and through
Mud-butt: there ain't nothin' I can do
I gotta get home fast
‘Cause I got an acid ass
I got mud-butt!
