near the end of the song, after the final chorus, he repeats something twice that isn't listed in the lyrics. anyone know what it is?

to me it sounds like:
"mouth to her...yeah, huh,
mouth to her...yeah,yeah..."

but that's just a wild guess.

    "Overcome...you mom...
    Oh I'll overcome, yeah ho, yeah yeah, yeah yeah."

    Then again, just listened to it again, and soem boot versions, and im wrong. Bit thats what ive been singing for 15 years so it must be right ;-)

    I'll have to listen to it when I get a chance, but itsn't it just "hey mama mama yea"?

    in some of the live ones, he does say that after he says the other thing twice. sometimes i think he even changes it to "yeah, motherfucker yeah!"(which is ironically appropriate). but he still says the other thing twice.
