Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd float down to the sea

Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd say just what you please
Without the sticky little kitten
Your ticket could never be free

Without the tight little denim
Your virtues would all go unknown
Without the room that you live in
Your cancer would eat to the bone

Your muscles would bulge underground
Your demons would all be around
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me

Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd burn all these dying leaves

Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd lift this steaming herd
You would kill all the sick ones
You would bury them deep in the earth

Without the tight little denim
Your virtues would all go unknown
Without the room that you live in
Your cancers would eat to the bone

Your muscles would bulge underground
Your demons would all be around
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me

    Yes, I am going to go with the recent answers. This song is about a female. She'd be in as bad of a situation as this guy would, but she's female, apparently an attractive one as well. Pretty pink ribbon isn't a symbol for cancer, more likely rather a symbol for feminimity. "Pretty" and "pink" both seem to apply to that, don't they? How about "sticky little kitten"? I think that's rather blatantly euphemistic, besides pointing out obvious synonyms for "kitten". I also agree with some of Julie's comments.
