| Forty-five minutes |
| Forty-five cents |
| Sixty-five agents sitting on a fence |
| Singing, hey brother |
| Look what we got for you |
| We’re gonna rope off an area |
| And put on a show |
| From the canadian border |
| Down to mexico |
| It might be the most |
| Potentially gross |
| Thing that we could possibly do Yeah, little buddy gonna get your chance |
| Make them pubescents all wet their pants |
| We’ll record it live |
| And that’s no jive. |
| Hold it! |
| stop it! |
| no! |
| no! |
| no! |
| no! |
| Bang! |
| went the pistol. |
| Crash! |
| went the window. |
| Ouch! |
| went the son of a gun. |
| Onomatopoeia |
| I don’t wanna see ya Speaking in a foreign tongue. |
| Knock! |
| knock! |
| hello! |
| Can I come in? |
| Gee, that was a wonderful show! |
| Oh, you haven’t gone on yet? |
| Well, how was I supposed to know? |
| Hey! |
| we got a great date |
| It’s really downtown |
| We’re gonna get the grand canyon |
| To do the sound |
| It’s a boxing ring |
| But it might be the thing |
| To really put you in the dough |
| Listen little brother, don’t ya get us wrong |
| Why we even know the words to your song |
| Just say I do And we’ll lay it on you |
| You! |
| you! |
| and me! |
| me! |
| me! |
| Bang! |
| went the pistol |
| Crash! |
| went the window |
| Ouch! |
| went the son of a gun |
| Onomatopoeia |
| I don’t want to see ya Speaking in a foreign tongue. |
