Hell, man, how can you stand to think that way?
Hey old man, how can you stand to think that way?
Is the light on the collar, ahhhhhh.
Is the line on the color bar.
Is the light on the cummerbund.
Is the line on the color bar.
Just look forty cents, "Get a job."
Just for fun he says, 'Get a job'.
Standing in line marketing time
Waiting for the little big dime.
Standing in line marking time
Waiting for the welfare dime.
Th' Easter Bunny says, 'Get a job.'
Just for fun he says, 'Get a job.'
The light on the combine
Is the line on the color bar.
There's a light in the concubine.
or
There's a light in the cuckold bar.
or
There's some Sprite on your cummerbund.
Is the line on the color bar.
There's a light in the concubine.
or
There's a light in the cuckold bar.
Is the line on the color bar.
There's a light on the corner bar.
Is the line on the color bar.
There's a line on a boulevard
Is the line on a color bar
There's a line on the columbine
Is the line on the color bar.
There's the line on the boulevard.
Is the line on the color bar.
Who can hurt who in the b***s?
Who can hurt who the most?
