The line you have question marks for is supposed to be "For what's ailing you". It's got a heavy inflection, but I'm pretty sure that's it.
This song is great. If you don't know what strychnine is, it's a highly toxic alkaloid used as a pesticide. It tastes extremely bitter, and causes extremely painful convulsions. The victim dies of asphyxia or sheer exhaustion. At the moment of death, rigor mortis sets in instantly, paralyzing the body even in mid-convulsion. It is lethal even at concentrations of 5 mg. (Thanks Wikipedia!)
In short, the Cramps are some sick puppies. But that's why they rock so hard.
