Never-never everywhere and
Not a Miss that's from the ghetto

That he keeps just in case of depression
Sit on your handsome bus, its a viper
Bussing with all those Afro-sceners
Ain't those boys for love?
Well, ain't that girl for love?
It ain't that far to go.
Have you have been an un-American?
Just you and your idol singing falsetto 'bout
Leather, leather everywhere, and
Not a myth left from the ghetto
Well, well, well, would you carry a razor
In case, just in case of depression?
Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors
Blushing at all the afro-Sheeners
Ain't that close to love?
Well, ain't that poster love?
Well, it ain't that Barbie doll.

Hitler retired without Nurenberg judging him.
And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging?
Doug Quaid adds: "He sings it so fast and incoherently that, even to this day, it really sounds like that; not to mention the historical accuracy of the statement, however silly it is worded, or out of context with the song it is. To be honest, the last quarter of the song is very incoherent sounding. This is the only line that I can make anything out of. I can't even understand any of the surrounding lines right before and after this particular one."
