T. Rex – Rabbit Fighter lyrics

Shady politician in my bed
Tying bolts of lightning to his head
Call me rabbit fighter you know it's true
Cause babe i'll rabbit fight all over you
Tramp king of the city he's my friend
Moondog's just a prophet to the end
Call me rabbit fighter you knoiw it's true
Cause babe i'll rabbit fight all over you
I saw a dude unscrewed and badly turned
Laughing
Cause he'd gotten what he'd earned
Call me rabbit fighter you know it's true
Cause babe i'll rabbit fight all over you
Call me rabbit fighter
Jo jo don't you know

It's about the artist (rabbit fighter) and the people lining up to rip him off (shady politician). The artist is not tactful or as smart so can only rabbit punch when he senses how his energy is being tapped into (tying bolts of lightening). The artist is at home with the down and out who he can trust. The tramp king is his firend and the prophet sees the artist winning out in the end, sources of much comfort. The artist has the last laugh as the dude gets burned, just what he deserves, and the artist watches it all - I. E. He "rabbit fights all over you"

I've always thought 'Rabbit Fighter' alludes to having sex. Although I was very young when 'The Slider' album was released, I was well aware of the dreaded expression used when a woman became pregnant . . . 'THE RABBIT DIED!' Fighting the rabbit means having sex; & to conquer [albeit kill] the rabbit = successful procreation. . . . I know, way too much thinking, right? But, better to have been thinking about dead rabbits, then to have actually had one die. (Haha!) Everything else (remaining lyrics) can be chalked up to sizing up his competition, & boasting about the sorry state he'd put one of them in when they'd gotten in his way/interfered with his plans for his paramour. Anyway, that's my story, & I'm sticking to it! BTW, 'the rabbit died' expression was/is not precisely accurate, as the rabbit pregnancy test resulted in a dead rabbit whether or not the test results were positive. (Commonly held misconception was that the rabbit only died if the test results were positive. Not so!)
