Nuthin' but a NEMATODE       

 

You ain’t nothin’ but a nematode,

          Feedin’ all the time.

You ain’t nothing but Xiphinema,

          Killlin’ all my vines.

I can’t even harvest a crop.

So you ain’t no friend of mine.

 

California rated you B class.

I think that’s just a lie.

You should be rated A class.

You really make me cry.

 

You ain’t nothin’ but a nematode,

          Feedin’ all the time.

You ain’t nothing but Xiphinema,

          Killlin’ all my vines.

I can’t even harvest a crop.

So you ain’t no friend of mine.

 

I know you cause fan leaf

          And turn all my leaves red.

But what tourists don’t know:

          My vines will soon be dead.

 

You ain’t nothin’ but a nematode,

          Feedin’ all the time.

You ain’t nothing but Xiphinema,

          Killlin’ all my vines.

I can’t even harvest a crop.

So you ain’t no friend of mine.

 

Based on Hound Dog

You ain’t nothin’ but a Hound Dog, cryin’ all the time.

You ain’t nothin’ but a Hound Dog, cryin’ all the time.

Well you ain’t never caught a rabbit and

You ain’t no friend of mine.

 

Well, they said you was high-classed,

            But that was just a lie.

Yeah, they said you was high-classed,

            But that was just a lie.
