The Lyrics
Stab?
Nah
Nah
This knife ain't for murder 'cause that's wrong
All I want's to find me a fat log
Carve it until what I've got
Is a nice piece to show off to the whole damn world
A figurine of some cartoon asshole
Or some kind of flute, something that's small
It's not a waste of wood, bud
The chips are gonna go into my fire, bro
Gonna make, gonna make, gonna make some pleasant sights
For all to see there upon my feed
It keeps me occupied the whole night
Buddy, I, buddy, I just love me some whittling, love me some whittling
Any chunk, any chunk, any chunk of wood I find
Oh, will be carved by me then sold for a fee
Worry not, all my prices aren't high
Buddy, I, buddy, I just love me some whittling, love me some whittling
As the years pass and I get older
The things that I make just get bolder
Hasn't been smooth progress now
Because I don't just slice the wood I mean to, yikes
Followed through too hard and now I bleed
Damn, damn, damn, progress has been halted
Wanted some redwood but I
Don't think that this is fine, not what it means, right
What a pain, what a pain, what a pain, flesh has been sliced
Go fetch for me my spare bloodbag, please
But just give me some time, I'll be fine
Buddy, I, buddy, I still love me some whittling, love me some whittling
Blame it on, blame it on, blame it on me, not the knife
To carve the wood, I need it real sharp, you see
But it's worth it, feel my art is nice
Buddy, I, buddy, I still love me some whittling, love me some whittling (bro)
Maple? Maple (nah)? No, I don't feel it
Maple? Maple (ah)? Don't really see it
Walnut? Walnut's fine (ah)
Walnut? Walnut's nice (ooh)
Wanna say, wanna say, wanna say the reason I
Gained such a need to make art from trees
But it's not found inside my damn mind
Buddy, I, buddy, I just love me some whittling, love me some whittling (ah-ooh)
People want, people want, people want a solid "why"
That inspiration seed, I don't have that, please
Let me focus on my wood, alright?
Buddy, I, buddy, I just love me some whittling, love me some whittling (ooh)
I love me some whittling (craft), I love me some whittling (bro)
I love me some whittling (oh-oh-oh), I love me some whittling
I love me some whittling, I love me some whittling
I love me some whittling (ah), I love me some whittling
I love me some whittling (walnut, walnut slab), I love me some whittling (I really feel it)
I love me some whittling (walnut, walnut, ah), I love me some whittling (buddy, I need it)
I love me some whittling (walnut, walnut's fine), I love me some whittling
