(intro)
Say “hello” to Mr. Goodbar,
He's the only pal you'll ever know
“Hey-hey” for Nutty Buddy,
Can't you see, he's running down the road
“Hey-hey” for Mr. Goodbar,
He's straddlin' a heavy load
Say “hello” to Nutty Buddy,
Can't you see, he's running from the gun
And I did not check your ID
And I did not check your ID,
When you jumped into my playpen,
I made you swallow up all my toys
(instrumental solo)
Pack it in for Mr. Goodbar,
Someone told him we was here
Say “hello” to Nutty Buddy,
He's all dressed up and circling the town
Watch out for Mr. Goodbar,
Someone told him we was here
Pack it up for Nutty Buddy,
He's about to let his fingers do the walkin'
And I did not check your ID
No, I did not check your ID,
When you jumped into my playpen,
I made you swallow up all my toys
No, I did not check your ID
No, I did not check your ID
When you jumped into my playpen,
I made you swallow up all my toys
(instrumental break)
[All of my toys]
[All of my toys]
[You swallowed all of my toys on your toilet]
[You swallowed all of my toys on your toilet]
[Toys on your toilet]
[You swallowed all of my toys on your toilet]
[Swallowed all of my toys on your toilet]
[You swallowed all of my toys on your toilet]
[You swallowed all of my toys on your toilet]
[You swallowed all of my toys on your toilet]
[You swallowed all of my toys on your toilet]
[You swallowed all of my toys on your toilet]
[Swallowed all of my toys on your toilet]
[Swallowed all of my toys on your toilet!]
No, I did not check your ID
No, I did not check your ID,
When you jumped into my playpen,
I made you swallow up all my toys
(outro)
