Bagpipes from Baghdad Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, it's music to my ears
Oh, man, how can I describe the way I feel?
F*cking great, man
Okay, let me see
How could I begin?
[Verse 1]
Locked in Mariah's wine cellar, all I had for lunch
Was bread, wine, more bread, wine and Cap'n Crunch
Red wine for breakfast and for brunch
And to soak it up, an in-between snack, crackers to munch
Mariah, what's ever happened to us?
Why did we have to break up? All I asked for was a glass of punch
You see, I never really asked for much, I can't imagine what's
Going through your mind after such
A nasty break-up with that Latin hunk
Luis Miguel, Nick Cannon, better back the f*ck
Up, I'm not playin', I want her back, you're punk
This is Hello Kitty bedspread, Satin Funk
Mixed with Egyptian, with a little rap and punk
Zapp and Eric Clapton, Shaft, Frank Zappa, crunk
And, yeah, baby, I want another crack at ya
You can beat me with any spatula that you want
I mean, I really want you bad, you, cunt
Nick, you had your fun, I've come to kick you in your sack of junk
Man, I could use a fresh batch of blood
So prepare your vernacular for Dracula acupuncture
[Chorus]
Bagpipes from Baghdad
When will it ever cease? For Pete's sakes, he's crazy to say the least
Bagpipes from Baghdad
What's going through my mind half the time when I rhyme or blowing up, like
Bagpipes from Baghdad?
Somebody turn the vacancy sign on, 'cause I'm gone, blowing on my
Bagpipes from Baghdad
I run the streets and act like a madman, holding a Glad—
[Verse 2]
You can be a permanent fixture in my lyrical mixture
I'm the Miracle Whip trickster
My signature sound, when a tube of lipstick's around
I'm bound to put it on in an instant, wow
Man, what an ensemble! What an assortment of pharma—
Ceuticals, this beautiful pill dust in my palm, my
Cuticles get residue just from touchin' the bottle
Never knew I could remind me so much of my momma
I'll cut ya like Dahmer, pull a butcher knife on ya
The size of a sword, boy, I'm like the f*ckin' Red Sonja
Get it stuck in your cornea, nice knowing ya, Norman
You're so f*ckin' annoyin', drop the shovel, boy
You don't know what the f*ck you're doin'
I ain't playin' no f*ckin' more
Nick Cannon, you're prick, I wish you luck with the f*ckin' whore
Every minute there's a sucker born, snuck up on Malachi
Made the motherf*cker suck on a shuck of corn
Shuck o', shuck o' corn, Chaka Khan
Hit Jason in the face with a hockey puck, and
Told him it's f*ckin' on, man, what the f*ck are ya doin'?
You're runnin' over the snowblower with the lawnmower
Blowin' your bagpipes from Baghdad
[Chorus]
Bagpipes from Baghdad
When will it ever cease? For Pete's sakes, he's crazy to say the least
Bagpipes from Baghdad
What's going through my mind half the time when I rhyme or blowing up, like
Bagpipes from Baghdad?
Somebody turn the vacancy sign on 'cause I'm gone, blowing on my
Bagpipes from Baghdad
I run the streets and act like a madman, holding a Glad bag
[Verse 3]
In the bed with two brain-dead lesbian vegetables
I bet you they become heteros*xual
"Nothing will stop me from molestin' you
Titty-f*ckin' you 'til your breast nipple flesh tickles my testicles"
Is what I said to the two conjoined twins
"How's it going, girlfriends? You needs a boyfriend?
You need some ointment? Just set up an appointment
Who's gonna see the doctor first? We'll do a coin flip
I just got my one-year sobriety coin chip
When the bad get going, how bad does the going get?
Baby, you shouldn't have any trouble rubbing groins with
Each other, especially when you're joined at the hip"
I'm going to get the needle and thread from the sewing kit
And attempt to separate 'em and stitch 'em back at the loin, shit
Lure the little boy with the chocolate 'Chips Ahoy!' chip
Cookie, lookie, even took me a Polaroid pic'
[Chorus]
Bagpipes from Baghdad
When will it ever cease? For Pete's sakes, he's crazy to say the least
Bagpipes from Baghdad
What's going through my mind half the time when I rhyme or blowing up, like
Bagpipes from Baghdad?
Somebody turn the vacancy sign on 'cause I'm gone, blowing on my
Bagpipes from Baghdad
I run the streets and act like a madman, holding a Glad bag
Oh, bagpipes from Baghdad
[Outro]
Hghum-day-li-laaa-aaa-aaa-aaa-aa-aah-aah
Hghum-day-li-laaa-aaa-aaa-aaa-aa-aah-aah
Hghum-day-li-laaa-aaa-aaa-aaa-aa-aah-aah
Hghum-day-li-laaa-aaa-aaa-aaa-aa-aah-aah

Bagpipes from Baghdad: A Psychological Shock Note
"Bagpipes from Baghdad" is one of the most chaotic and darkly playful tracks from Eminem’s Relapse era, built around exaggerated accents, horror-core imagery, and intentionally uncomfortable humor. The song stands out for how Eminem uses absurdity as a weapon, turning personal obsession and paranoia into cartoonish shock value rather than straightforward storytelling. A hidden fun fact is that the “bagpipes” idea isn’t about the instrument at all, but a metaphor for the screeching, invasive thoughts racing through his head, mirroring the unstable mindset he was portraying during Relapse. The track also reflects Eminem’s technical confidence at the time, with rapid internal rhymes layered over a deliberately unsettling beat, almost designed to feel claustrophobic. While often misunderstood as pure shock rap, the song quietly showcases how Eminem used extreme characters and surreal ideas to experiment with voice, rhythm, and psychological tension during one of the most experimental phases of his career.
