He's a tar-plating son of a [Abm] bitch.
He's a question, common ask.
On his head, a bucket of chicken bones.
On his face, a glass of nask.
[F] He's the bastard [N] son of a preacher man.
On the count, he left a stain.
They made him live in a chicken house to try and hide the shame.
[Fm] He won.
He's in a cage.
Children there.
He predicts rage.
He's half alive.
He's half dead.
He's called the buckethead.
_ [N] _ _ _ _ He's called the buckethead.
