lyrics

Well this is a travesty
Of human blankets and Netflix
While Nib-Nobs can’t even
Look you in the face
Now where’s that Sex on the Beach?
And why aren’t you tending to the rabbits?
This sounds more sexual
Than it actually is

This song is an inside joke
Between me and you
Others listening
Won’t have a clue

America’s Next Top Dickhead
Enjoys Good Fellas
Escalators, escalators
Now go throw some change
And maybe we can get Rob
To rap for us
Maybe we’ll listen to some
Yellow Ostrich

And you are the Elephant King
And I’m here to take your kingdom away
And I like cats and trains
If you know what I mean
Now insert a sarcastic wink
To finish this song
Here comes the chorus again
Don’t be afraid to sing along

This song is an inside joke
Between me and you
Others listening
Won’t have a clue
