Holy Snappers Lyrics

[Intro]
Holy snappers

[Chorus]
Holy this, holy that
Holy, funky, big, fat rat
Holy piss, holy crappers
Jill Cuniff, holy snappers
I like Batman, I like Crass
Robin's gettin' it up the ass
Holy piss, holy crappers
Jill Cuniff, holy snappers

[Chorus]
Ohhh, holy this, holy that
Holy, funky, big, fat rat
Holy piss, holy crappers
Jill Cuniff, holy snappers
I like Batman, I like Crass
Robin's gettin' it up the ass
Holy piss, holy crappers
Jill Cuniff, holy snappers

[Chorus]
Ohhh, holy this, holy that
Holy, funky, big, fat rat
Holy piss, holy crappers
Jill Cuniff, holy snappers
I like Batman, I like Crass
Robin's gettin' it up the ass
Holy piss, holy crappers
Jill Cuniff, holy snappers
[Outro]
Shit...
