Date: 2024-03-27

Few reggae bands have done more to raise awareness about Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) than Natty Squits! What began as a Jamaican ad campaign for Imodium exploded to international acclaim with the release of their self-titled album 'Natty Squits!' in 1998. Since then the band has taken a more experimental approach, releasing an award winning concept album exploring the treatment of hemorrhoids ('Piles' (2005)).

LYRICS:

[Verse]
Yeah just felt an explosion
and the sting from corrosion
Took a chance on a fart
then my cheeks flew apart
and set my poo in motion.

[Chorus]
Diarrheared in my pants
(Damn)
Diarrheared in my pants
(Damn)
Not sure if I can trap it 
between my thighs
(Oh no)
and waddle to the bathroom
but I have to try
(oh I have to try)

[Verse 2]
Why does this always happen
the morning after a curry
(after a curry)
I always get the runs
when I'm in a hurry
(when I'm in a hurry)
Now I'm gonna miss the train
(gonna miss the train)
Will have to walk in the rain
Got these thoughts running through my head
Smushing poo down my shower drain.
(Smushing poo down my shower drain)

[Chorus]
Diarrheared in my pants
(Damn)
Diarrheared in my pants
(Damn)
Not sure if I can trap it 
between my thighs
(oh no)
and waddle to the bathroom
but I have to try
(yes I have to try)

[Verse]
Smushing poo down my shower drain.
(Smushing poo down my shower drain)

[Chorus]
Diarrheared in my pants
(Damn)
Diarrheared in my pants
(Damn)
Not sure if I can trap it 
between my thighs
(oh no)
and waddle to the bathroom
but I have to try
(yes I have to try)

Smushing poo down my shower drain.
(Smushing poo down my shower drain)
