Do You Know What I Idi Amin Lyrics

Four blocks back I flipped my sack
down At Roscoe's for some fatback
Sheila Schwartz's sister Shomo shucks shmekels
At the seashore on Shabazz

Do you know what I Idi Amin Amin
Do you know what I Idi Amin
Do you know what I Idi Amin Amin
Do you know what I Idi Amin

Reb-He Kitten sittin' on the stoop
Eatin' marinated herrin' an' lookin' so cute
Vladimir Tittler was a hoo-hoo of a man
His daddy's on his back and his mama's eatin' Spam

Do you know what I Idi Amin Amin
Do you know what I Idi Amin
Do you know what I Idi Amin Amin
Do you know what I Idi Amin

Shark Skin Charles and Water Melon Head
Woke up this morning with weebles in their bed
And Hazel climbs the stairs, cause she don't give a damn
I'm gonna eat all the My-T-Fine puddin' that I can

Do you know what I Idi Amin Amin
Do you know what I Idi Amin
Do you know what I Idi Amin Amin
Do you know what I Idi Amin

Do you know what I Idi Amin Amin
Do you know what I Idi Amin
Do you know what I Idi Amin Amin

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
