Welcome To YouTube |
| Before YouTube I walked through life, and now I frolic |
| YouTube’s been like a father to me |
| Except YouTube’s not an alcoholic |
| Before YouTube I was just a skinny white kid |
| That thought he was funnier and cooler |
| Than he actually was |
| And now, well not much has changed |
| But I have a shitload of money |
| Because YouTube is a place for people to share their ideas |
| If by people you mean 13-year-old girls |
| And by ideas you mean how they love the Jonas Brothers |
| I’m just kidding |
| But let’s be honest, that’s a hefty majority |
| And if you don’t believe me |
| Well then you must be a noob |
| So, welcome to YouTube |
| And you don’t know what you’re missing |
| Just try searching «Women Kissing» |
| It’s YouTube |
| It’s what this country’s been needing |
| A generation of kids who don’t waste their time reading |
| Am I the only one who thinks that Lisa Nova’s hot? |
| And Chris Crocker’s not… |
| No, he’s hotter |
| Most of the best YouTubers are either Asian or they’re gay |
| So there’s an untapped YouTube celebrity |
| And his name is George Takei |
| And your favorite coat’s got a doo-doo stain |
| I pray to god that that’s chocolate rain |
| And I find videos of babies laughing a bit intrusive |
| Because Barack Obama won the election because of YouTube |
| Wait, did I say YouTube? |
| I meant the black vote |
| And I think YouTube and Fred are so cool! |
| (so stupid) |
| And What The Buck will be back in a Jiffy Lube |
| So, welcome to YouTube |
| Welcome to YouTube |
| Hey, welcome to YouTube! |
| I said, listen and linger |
| Charlie the Unicorn bit my finger! |
| It’s YouTube |
| The impact is evident |
| Miss Teen South Carolina just ran for Vice President |
| Upload a video, you got nothing to lose |
| Except all of your friends |
| And the approval of your parents |
| «Hi, my name is Mary, and I’m 19 years old and I got drunk at a party, |
| and I think someone was video-taping it, but I don’t want anyone to see it, |
| 'cause I showed half of my boob» |
| Sorry, Mary! |
| Welcome to YouTube |
| Say «Hello» to YouTube |
| And say goodbye to your college scholarship |
| And if your video doesn’t appeal to me |
| You gotta change the key… word |
| Welcome to YouTube, oh |
| I said welcome to YouTube, yeah |
| And it will keep on going and it’ll never stop |
| Until it’s privatized |
