Lyrics:

WE WERE ALL ALONE

THEN SHE BIT MY BONE

I SAID, “LET'S SELL THE PHONE

TRY TO GET AWAY"

I KNEW SHE WAS IN HEAT

SHE KNELT AT MY FEET

WET SOCKS ON THE FLOOR

BUT IT'S ALL THE SAME

LAST YEAR WE GOT SICK

DOCTORS DID THE TRICK

NOW I GOTTA USE A STICK

BUT IT'S STILL THE SAME

ROUGH AS A MATCHPAD

DRY AS A CACTUS

ONO YOU GO HOME

POLICEMEN FILL UP DAY

STUDENT TEACHER’S LICENSE PLATES

EAT MY DINNER, WORDS ARE GONE

I FEEL SLIPPED AWAY

THE MORAL IS DON’T START

EVEN IF YOU’RE SMART

YOU DON’T HAVE A CHANCE

IT’S ALL THE SAME

ROUGH AS A MATCHPAD

DRY AS A CACTUS

ONO YOU GO HOME
