[Verse 1]
I tell you kinky
You foxy little flirt
I caught you in the biar path
Lifting up your skirt
Well let me tell ya now
What you been doing in the briar patch
What you been doing in your little skirt
Got...

[Chorus]
You've been fooling with the Bitch's Brew
You know the things I told you not to do
You fell into the briar patch
Ain't nothing gonna save your ass

[Verse 2]
Remember the things you said (Ass)
The saving and the screams for bread (Ass)
And now you just walked away (Ass)
So take it away, all the way

[Chorus]
Oh, you're fooling with the Bitch's Brew
That ain't the thing you ought to fool with
Now you keep your fingers out of there, honey
You know that ain't no there

[Verse 3]
The way that you really feel (There)
Down the parts on the way you deal (There)
Where the witch is sight (There)
And the things that you fight (There)
(Oh God)

[Chorus]
You've been messing with the Bitch's Brew
Now don't you know who you're talking to
Say you're talking to the Bitch's who
Tell me you really never cared

[Verse 4]
The Voodoo man eyes of fire (Cared)
The Hoodoo man most desire (Cared)
The Bitches are out and smooth (Cared)
Tell from the light of the moon
(Yodle-lay-lay-lay, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on)

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
I've been thinking
Ran my hands through the sense of time
Yeah, and I've been drinking
Just to make this here song rhyme

[Outro]
You're fooling with the Bitch's Brew
Now don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you
Don't go fooling with the Bitch's Brew, ha, ha, ha, ha
Don't go fooling with the Bitch's Brew
Don't be fooling with me now
Don't go fooling with the Bitch's Brew, Bitch's Brew, Bitch's Brew, Bitch's Brew, Bitch's Brew
Bitch's Brew, Bitch's Brew, oh yeah
Bitch's Brew, Bitch's Brew, Bitch's, Bitch's, Bitch's
Bitch's Brew

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
