In instances where the sung lyrics clearly do not match the written lyrics, an approximation has been made and these unofficial lyrics are detailed in capital letters.

MEXICAN SEAFOOD

Ah, the itchy flakes
It is inflaming
To the gels and creams
It is pertaining
To a fungus mold
Is my injection
Hope it's only a
A yeast infection

Only hurts when I
Hurts when I pee
Oh well it hurts when I
Hurts when I sing

Now I vomit cum and diarrhea
On the tile floor like oatmeal pizza
With a toilet bowl full of a cloudy puss
I feel my blood becoming chowder rust

Only hurts when I
Hurts when I pee
Oh well it hurts when I
Hurts when I sing

Roll into my bed
Which does consist of
Lice, bugs, and fleas
And yellow mucus
Stained dirt Vaseline
Toe jam and booger
Stomach acid worms
That dance in sugared sludge



From Kurt Cobain's Journals (page 49, transcribed by DN member BleachedBlack)

Ah, the itchy flakes
It is a flaming
All the gels and cremes
It is pertaining
To a fungus mold
cured by injection

Oh well it hurts when I
it hurts when I pee
Oh well it hurts when I
Hurts when I see

Now I vomit cum and diahrrea
On the tile floor like oatmeal pizza
Fill my toilet bowl full of a cloudy puss
I feel my blood becoming chowder rust

Roll into my bed
Which does consist of
Lice bugs and fleas
And yellow mucus
Stained dirt Vaseline
Toe jam and booger
Stomach acid worms
That dance in sugared sludge
