Golden Boy |
| Hello there, Paul! |
| I had a take and I listened to it |
| And I was ready to send it and I thought: |
| You know? |
| It can be done better |
| So here it is, then |
| Now I’m wearing my boots |
| Which always guarantees a good showing |
| You must try to lead a good life |
| You must do unto others as you would have them do |
| So that when you die, you’ll find Golden Boy peanuts |
| Waiting in the afterlife for you |
| There are no pan-Asian supermarkets down in hell |
| So you can’t buy Golden Boy peanuts |
| There are no pan-Asian supermarkets down in hell |
| So you can’t buy Golden Boy peanuts |
| If thine enemy oppresseth you |
| You must let him oppress you some more |
| So that when you go shopping in paradise |
| You’ll find those magnificent peanuts from Singapore |
| With the drawing of the young Chinese farmer |
| The eastern sun behind him smiling at you from the shelves |
| If we want to spend eternity in happiness |
| Well we’re gonna have watch ourselves |
| You must give to the March of Dimes |
| You must be on guard against wickedness at all times |
| And you will find that your efforts have brought you great joy |
| When your spirit is munching on that Golden Boy |
| There are no pan-Asian supermarkets down in hell |
| So you can’t buy Golden Boy peanuts there |
| But the streets of heaven are lined with shells |
| And there’s billboards of the Golden Boy everywhere |
| There are no pan-Asian supermarkets down in hell |
| So you can’t buy Golden Boy peanuts |
| There are no pan-Asian supermarkets down in hell |
| So you can’t buy Golden Boy peanuts… GO! |
