About Ball and Biscuit

"Ball and Biscuit" is the eighth track on the album "Elephant" by American alternative rock band The White Stripes. The lyrics follow the perspective of a self-purported seventh son as he apparently courts a woman. He mentions that it is quite possible that he is the girl's "third man" and that the girl is ambivalent towards him, but he insistently tries to impress her with his claim to be a seventh son. The ball (cocaine) and biscuit (amphetamine) may refer to serious drugs. .

Ball and Biscuit Lyrics

[00:26.64] It's quite possible that I'm your third man, girl
[00:30.80] But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son
[00:34.93]
[00:41.87] No doubt about it
[00:45.96] It's quite possible that I'm your third man, girl
[00:50.37] But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son
[00:54.44]
[00:58.47] And right now, you could care less about me
[01:01.83] But soon enough, you will care by the time I'm done
[01:06.80]
[01:11.21] Let's have a ball and a biscuit, sugar
[01:15.03] And take our sweet little time about it
[01:19.28]
[01:24.00] Let's have a ball, girl
[01:27.42] And take our sweet little time about it
[01:35.63] Tell everybody in the place to just get out
[01:38.74] We'll get clean together
[01:40.14] And I'll find me a soapbox where I can shout it, yeah
[02:04.79]
[02:36.51] Now read it in the newspaper
[02:39.86] Ask your girlfriends and see if they know
[02:44.08]
[02:50.28] Read it in the newspaper
[02:52.26] Ask your girlfriends and see if they know
[02:56.78]
[03:00.79] That my strength is tenfold, girl
[03:04.57] I'll let you see it if you want to before you go
[03:09.09]
[03:13.65] Let's have a ball and a biscuit, sugar
[03:17.28] And take our sweet little time about it
[03:23.00]
[03:25.74] Let's have a ball
[03:29.02] And take our sweet little time about it
[03:33.18]
[03:37.32] Tell everybody in the place to just get out
[03:40.48] We'll get clean together
[03:41.87] And I'll find me a soapbox where I can shout it
[03:45.54] And I can think of one or two things to say about it
[03:48.36] Alright, listen
[03:51.74]
[04:57.26] Alright, you get the point now?
[06:24.24] Yeah, It's quite possible that I'm your third man
[06:28.50] But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son
[06:32.63]
[06:38.66] It was the other two which made me your third
[06:41.21] But it's my mother who made me the seventh son
[06:45.58]
[06:50.17] And right now, you could care less about me
[06:52.83] Soon enough, you will care by the time I'm done
[06:57.65]
[07:01.98] Yeah, you just wait
[07:05.91] You stick around
[07:09.64] You'll figure it out
[07:10.45]
