Skankin' Pickle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
she had a baby when she was real young
Her best friend is a skinhead chick
she knows an asian boy named Yick
and Kateland she is very chic
but I'm still in love with a girl named Spike
I don't write love songs
in fact they make me very sick
but Spike the girl from DeGrassi High
she's truly one cool chick
She has the best TV show
better than Beverly Hills 90210
and Shannon Daugherty well she's ok
but I'm still in love with a girl named Spike
