FIGHT AND SCRATCH
Duet by Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner
Copyright 1970
Fight and scratch fight and scratch that`s all we ever do
There surely must be more to love than to fight and scratch with you
You you to fight and scratch with you
Well you just bought a foal last month now you want a wig
It looks like you couldn`t understand my paycheck ain`t that big
Well what about the dough you lose in them poker games downtown
I figured you`d mention that smart aleck
Yeah and that brand new boat and that fishin` gear
But no uhhuh I don`t reckon that`d count really
Fight and scratch fight and scratch...
Sometimes I swear I think that you`re the devil in disguise
Cause when you`re mad you oughta see the fire fly from your eyes
Well you don`t look so cute yourself when you`re mad at me
And if you don`t like the way I look then you know how to leave
Bossy Catfish
Fight and scratch fight and scratch...
Well I love you and you love me but we`re always findin` fault
But the way we fight you wouldn`t know that we had any love at all
We just fight like cats and dogs we`ll leave then come right back
For what excitement would we have if we didn`t fight and scratch
Fight and scratch fight and scratch...
Why don`t you drop dead oh you`d like me to and I`ll live forever
just for spite
Why don`t you keep your big mouth shot
Well why don`t you just make me if you think you`re big enough
Yeah and I could whip you with both hands tied behind
Yeah you just try it with me and I`ll knock your brains out
With a stick of soap that`s good Catfish
What`s a catfish why`d you call me that
They`re all mouth and no brains boy that`s really good
It`s all I can do to keep from laughin` hah
That`s funny you sure are a fynny little fellow
