Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tire of your mind games
I'm sick of playing Don't Wake Daddy, good sir--
No more Rock, Paper, Scissors for me!
But wait, are we not civilized gentlemen here?
I challenge you to a battle of knifes!

KNIFE FIGHT,
You're gonna fight for your life!
KNIFE FIGHT,
You're gonna fight with a knife!
KNIFE FIGHT,
A really really really sharp knife!
YEAH, KNIFE FIGHT!

I'm a crazy (crazy) son of a bitch!
I'ma cut you! (Cut you!)
Swish swish!
In a knife fight! (knife fight)
Knife fight! (knife fight)
Knife fight! KNIFE FIGHT!

NEIL: Let me tell you something: I can't be beat.
MARTY: Oh yeah?
NEIL: Yeah--cuz I'm the king of the street!
MARTY: Well guess what, man: I'll pin you to the wall!
NEIL: Oh yeah?
MARTY: Yeah, your knife is way too small!
NEIL: Hey! My knife is super sharp and that's what counts! I'm gonna make you bleed copious amounts!
MARTY: Yeah well I'll be sure to thank you right after I shank you!
NEIL: Punk.
MARTY: Dweeb.

KNIFE FIGHT,
You're gonna fight for your life!
KNIFE FIGHT,
You're gonna fight with a knife!
KNIFE FIGHT,
A really really really sharp knife!
YEAH, KNIFE FIGHT!

I'm a crazy (crazy) son of a bitch!
I'ma cut you! (Cut you!)
Swish swish!
In a knife fight! (knife fight)
Knife fight! (knife fight)
Knife fight! KNIFE FIGHT!

NEIL: I'm gonna slice you up!
MARTY: I'm gonna cut you down!
NEIL: I'll put you in your place!
MARTY: I'll put you underground!
NEIL: This is the END for you, you gutter crawling cur!
MARTY: I've got a TIP for you, get the POINT?
NEIL: Yeah, sure.
MARTY: It's time to face the music!
NEIL: Time to face the facts!
MARTY: Time to bite the bullet!
NEIL: Time to pay the tax!
MARTY: I've got a blade of fury.
NEIL: I am a ball of rage.
MARTY: You ready, sucka?
NEIL: Born ready.
BOTH: ENGAGE!

KNIFE!

POKE!

MARTY: Hey wait a minute here!
NEIL: Oh, what is it?!
MARTY: Knifes are dangerous, we could get hurt!
NEIL: Hurt? ...I don't want to get hurt.
MARTY: Who does!
NEIL: Okay well, in that case, I challenge you to a...
BOTH: TICKLE FIGHT!

Tickle fight! It's a tickle fight!
Don't bring no knife to a tickle fight!
Just bring your fingers, bring a feather, and
Everyone can sing together, now:

Tickle fight! Tickle fight!
La-dee-da dum dum tickle fight!
Tickle fight! Tickle fight!
Whoopy-doo zig zag tickle fight!

Ding dong doodly
Nick nack noodly
Fee fi fo fum kitten kaboodly!
Tickle fight! Tickle fight!
Tickle tickle tickle fight! Hey!





MARTY: That was fun. ...where's my knife?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Knife Fight" seemingly describe an escalating argument or competition between two people (Neil and Marty), who decide to settle their dispute with knives, but then quickly realize that this is impractical and instead opt for a tickle fight. This nonsensical and humorous take on violence and aggression serves as a commentary on how quickly conflicts can escalate, and the irrationality of resorting to violence to solve problems.


The first verse sets the scene for the conflict, with Neil expressing his frustration with Marty's mind games and refusal to settle differences peacefully. The chorus then introduces the concept of the knife fight, highlighting the absurdity of the situation. The conversation between Neil and Marty in the second verse further emphasizes their bravado and eagerness to win, despite the potential danger. The chaotic and rapid-fire exchange of knife-related words and noises in the bridge further reinforces the inherent chaos and unpredictability of violence. The song concludes with the realization that a friendly tickle fight would be a more sensible and enjoyable way to settle their differences, complete with a catchy and silly tickle fight anthem.
