When I get new music I always read the lyrics. I understand most English words but sometimes I have to look some words up. Recently I bought Zombilation by Lordi (only released in Finland I think) and in the song 'Devil is a loser' is a word I don't understand. Even when I look it up it doesn't make sense to me.
The lyrics are:
The Devil is a loser and he's my bitch
For better or for worse and you don't care which
The Devil is a loser and he's my bitch
Runnin' into trouble you skitch
He's my bitch
What does 'skitch' mean? The way it is written here makes it seem it's a verb. I don't think it is.

Lordi has been known to invent words just to make a line or a rhyme work. Business as usual.

My guess would be 'Running into trouble, you skitch'. 'Skitch' would be a combination of 'skank' and 'bitch'.
And there should be a comma in the sentence.

I've heard the word "skitchy" before (https://slangdefine.org/s/skitchy-c855.html) perhaps it's a contraction of that?

"Skitch"
Skitch means when someone says they need serious help but it turns out they listen to crappy songs written by people that make up words.
"Skitch"

You're a skitch (skank / bitch).
Lordi is pretty damn good. Their eurovisioncontestthingy wasn't the best.
