03:14

Down on my luck tryin' to find a date
Nobody's interested, that's okay, I can
Get a custom cardboard cutout made
Just gotta find that girl, Yes, I think you will do
Takin', takin', takin', takin' a full body picture
Placin', placin', placin', placin' an online order
Waitin', waitin', waitin', hey look!
Here she comes now!
UPS has just made my day!
I am happy! I am happy! I am happy!
Babe I know you're goin' my way!
I am happy! I am happy! I am happy!
I got my cardboard love! (Love)
I got my cardboard love! (Love)
Now I won't face rejection again
Takin' her everywhere, Talkin' to her as
If she was a real human being
Maybe I've lost my mind, but I still got my touch
Come on, come on, come on, come on, dance with me
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, cuddle with me
One look, one look, one look, one look
Into your eyes
I know you're all I need in my life!
I am happy! I am happy! I am happy!
Will the courts let you be my wife?
Is it legal? Does it matter? Who needs papers?
I got my cardboard love! (Love)
I got my cardboard love! (Love)
Don't need your opinions
Just leave me be with my cardboard love
Mind your own business
I hurt no one with my cardboard love
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I got my cardboard love! (Love)
I got my cardboard love! (Love)
I got my cardboard love! (Love)
I got my cardboard love! (Love)

Sloth Dance
04:05
|
|||
It's Friday night, all the clubs are rockin'
That's where all the fun begins
In your head the music is moving through your veins
But sadly, you work weekends
Or whatever your excuse, you just can't be bothered
To bring a single muscle to move
There's a brand new dance today
So you can mentally groove
Sloth dance, sloth dance, come on do the sloth dance
Do less work than your 15 year old pet cats
See all the kids move their bodies and get into it
Then sit down on your butt and do the opposite
Now is the time to show your apathy
To those dancing how they want
They get told to go crazy like they just don't care,
Well truthfully, you also don't
So remember, if you happen to wake up
With a case of "I don't wanna,"
This quote unquote dance was made for you
So now, you don't gotta
Sloth dance, sloth dance, come on do the sloth dance
Do less work than your 15 year old pet cats
See all the kids move their bodies and get into it
Then sit down on your butt and do the opposite
Now, I want us to slowly and reluctantly raise one hand. Preferrably your
dominant hand so it's less work! Very slowly, now, we're going to take only our
pointer finger and extend it. You've seen this before, it's the single finger
spin of feigned enthusiasm! Now when I give the count to three, we will spin our
extended pointer fingers in small circles pretending we actually give a care when
the tone in our voices clearly implicates otherwise! Ready now, one, two,
three...
Single finger spin! Single finger spin!
Single finger spin! Yaaaayyyy...
Single finger spin! Single finger spin!
Single finger spin! Yaaaayyyy...
Now whine about your workload (Awww...)
Whine about your workload (Awww...)
Now you can relax your arm. It can be a quick drop, gravity's doing all the work
here so you can continue to be lazy. Now, we're gonna bring the chorus back and I
want you all to continue in the state you've been in this whole time! This so-
called dance is all about being at rest and being the epitome of Newton's first
law! I'm not even gonna have the beat do some sort of build up back to the
chorus, that's too much work! I'm just gonna let it come back in so we can wrap
this thing up and have even less to worry about! Ready, one, two, three
Sloth dance, sloth dance, come on do the sloth dance
Do as much work as someone abusing food stamps
And when you're done making yourself become brain dead
Steer your remote controlled recliner back to your bed
Sloth dance, sloth dance, come on do the sloth dance
Do less work than your 15 year old pet cats
See all the kids move their bodies and get into it
Then sit down on your butt and do the opposite
Sloth dance, sloth dance, come on do the sloth dance
Do as much work as someone abusing food stamps
And when you're done making yourself become brain dead
Steer your remote controlled recliner back to your bed

Stand against a gang
Guns are locked and loaded up
They're prepared to fight
I don't have a gun
Nothing to defend myself
No escape in sight
Need a different plan
Something to put them at ease
Before trouble starts
Charitable deed
Show them there's a better way
That should reach their hearts
I'm bringing love to a gun fight
No need to be unnecessarily bitter
Be kind to your attackers in the face of danger
That will make them reconsider
I'll explain to them
The benefits of kindness
With my on hand breath
Share my wholesome ways
That will make them realize there's
More to life than death
Buy them each a drink
Treat them all to a buffet
Eat what they can get
Say it's out of love
Show no signs I fear my life
Not breaking a sweat
I'm bringing love to a gun fight
No need to be unnecessarily bitter
Be kind to your attackers in the face of danger
That will make them reconsider
I'm bringing love to a gun fight
I believe it's the right thing to do
When they see what I'm doing they'll lower their guns
Because the power of love will shine through
I'm bringing love to a gun fight
In the end, that's all we really need
And when we all realize what our hearts truly crave
Then from our violent ways we'll be freed
Because in the end, love will triumph over all *BANG*
Okay, that didn't quite go as planned

Take My Physical
03:14
|
|||
At the doctor's office once again
For my annual routine checkup
I wait patiently
Get it? Patient-ly?
I get sent back before too long
Nurse on duty got it goin' on
She's waiting on me
She's waiting on me
I thought I'd be bored today, I guess this could be okay!
Came in in a normal state
But now my pulse feels like it's gone to 128
So come on, come on, come on
Take my physical
Tryin' to keep my nerves intact
That stethoscope feels good goin' down my back
So come on, come on, come on
Take my physical
Look into my eyes with that little light
Look very deeply in my eyes
What do you see?
What do you see?
I typically don't care for these exams
But for yours I think I can
Lost in my mind
I'll come more frequently if you're the one checking me!
I'll come down with something pretend
Just for an excuse to come see you again
So come on, come on, come on
Take my physical
Being well was once a sure bet
But I'm sure you can find something wrong with me yet
So come on, come on, come on
Take my physical
Doctor, check me up and down, come on
Baby, feel me where you need to, come on
Just be sure you're thorough
Takin' my physical
Touch me, you know that I like it, just claim
That you're searching for abnormal lumps, come on
Just be sure you're thorough
Takin' my physical
I might start gettin' sick
If I know it's you that'll have me checked
So come on, come on, come on
Take my physical
You treat anything in the slightest
I think I got a case of "I-want-you-itis"
So come on, come on, come on
Take my physical
(Physical, physical) Take my physical
(Physical, physical) Physical
(Physical, physical) Take my physical
Come on, phy-phy-phy-physical

Humanly Impossible
03:32
|
|||
Whoa-oh oh oh oh, oh yeah yeah
Girl, you got me overcome with such emotion
I'd walk a thousand miles without a mask at the bottom of the ocean
'Cause baby, I ain't seen anyone lookin' finer
For you, I would climb Mount Everest in a cruise liner
And you can't tell me that it can't be done
I'll find a way to make it happen
'Cause baby, you're the one
I would do the humanly impossible
'Cause winning your heart, baby, is my goal
I would use a herring to cut down a tree
If that's what it takes to bring your heart to me
Whoa whoa-oh oh, oh oh
Whoa whoa-oh oh, ooh hoo
I would do so many things that physics won't allow
Just to prove that I have got to get you now
I'd build a fire and make s'mores in outer space
If that's what it takes to get you coming to my place
I'd learn to hack nature itself with a computer
And replace every spider on the Earth with something much, much cuter
And you can't tell me that it can't be done
I'll find a way to make it happen
'Cause baby, you're the one
I would do the humanly impossible
Zap your exes all into a vast black hole
Make your body turn immune to all disease
If that's what it takes to bring your heart to me
Whoa whoa-oh oh, oh oh
Whoa whoa-oh oh, ooh hoo
I would do so many things that physics won't allow
Just to prove that I have got to get you now
Whoa oh, oh oh
Whoa oh, oh oh
Whoa oh oh oooohhhh
Oh yeah, yeah
I'd kill a minotaur with a cotton ball
Move a submarine through the snow
To prove my worth to you, girl, tell me
How far must I go?
I would do the humanly impossible
Turn your headaches into something pleasurable
Grow five extra arms to hold your accessories
Every time you wanna go shopping with me
Whoa whoa-oh oh, oh oh
Whoa whoa-oh oh, ooh hoo
I would do so many things that physics won't allow
Just to prove that I have got to get you now
I would do so many things that physics won't allow
Just to prove that I have got to get you now

You could've told me I was ugly and dumb
You could've gone around spreading lies to everyone
Telling them I'm a bully and I only mean harm
They would listen to you 'cause you got that womanly charm
You could've punched me in the face
Left me for dead in an undisclosed place
You could've stolen my song and taken the credit
And called me a whore on Tumblr and Reddit
You could've robbed my house of all I had
Then filled every room with poisonous gas
You could've said I was the enemy
And had the King of France declare war on me
But no, you chose to friendzone me
And I accept that so graciously
I'm fine without you going out with me
'Cause what if you chose to date me anyway
Knowing you have zero intention to stay
You'd get me excited for a lifetime of fun
Not knowing 'bout the heartache that's yet to come
I'd be enjoying the time that we spent
But wondering why your excitement's 60 percent
Then we reach the day you decide the joke's through
And finally you decide to lay down the truth
You'd tell me it's funny to put me in my place
By making seven years of my life a total waste
It's a good thing you wouldn't treat me that bad
Putting that in perspective, I guess I'm glad
That yes, you chose to friendzone me
And I accept that so graciously
Of all the ways I could be hurt
Suddenly friendzoning's not the worst
So many guys in the friendzone
Being whiny, angry, and miffed
But the friendzone is acknowledgement
That I at least exist
So the next time a cop writes you a ticket
For crashing into a tree
Just say "I wouldn't be financially screwed
If he just friendzoned me!"

Monday
02:28
|

Alarm clock, the sound of my nightmare
I wish I didn't have to care
Bloodshot red eyes and empty stare
At any random wall
Roll over and fall out of bed
The groans I make show I'm braindead
Five whole days of this crap ahead
Why is my life so dull?
It's a Monday,
Week has just begun day,
Down in the doldrums day,
No motivation day
It's a slow day
Can't make myself go day
Wish I could say "No way,
Not taking this today."
It's a Monday. Blech.
It's a Monday.
Haul me off in a wheelbarrow
Screaming "Stop, I don't wanna go!"
Drag me all the way up the road
Shouting "Bring out your dead!"
I'd feel better in surgery
Or a haunted cemetary
I'm here, but I would rather be
Anywhere else instead.
It's a Monday,
I'm already done day
Brain is overrun day,
Gotta make it some way.
It's not Friday,
When they bring doughnuts by day
Give us pizza pie day
Today is softly cry day.
It's a Monday. Blech.
It's a Monday. Blech.
Another day of being bored, bored.
Blech.

Omigosh! It's You
03:27
|
|||
I came out to your show
You really rocked the crowd
We sang along to all your hits
And we were screamin' loud
I got a backstage pass
When I paid for VIP
I came to meet you after the show
I ran backstage excitedly
We have an amazing conversation
About our favorite drinks and hobbies,
Well in my head, that's how the moment played
I'm rehearsing my introduction
Until my time to meet you comes
And overwhelmed, I only manage to say...
Omigosh! It's you! It's you!
I can't believe it!
I'm actually talking to you!
Well, what do I say from here?
This was so much easier in my head
"I'm not worthy" is a very bad start
Now I'm shuffling away as you call out "Next!"
Nothing else that I can do
Because I couldn't make it past
"Omigosh! It's you!"
Now I'm back in my car, defeated, dejected,
Depressed and hating myself
While you're having a meaningful conversation
Meeting and greeting someone else
Other fans are chatting it up
They know how to keep it real
I'm having your guys' conversation
With my steering wheel
I'm talking about my hopes and dreams
Then pretending to be you saying yours
Since my car doesn't talk, it just makes sound
People see me and think I'm crazy
But their impression can't be as bad
As yours had to be when I couldn't get beyond...
Omigosh! It's you! It's you!
I can't believe it!
I'm actually talking to you!
I should've practiced with Alexa
To better gauge how you'd react
I'd do it now, but there's no use
When I find the solution after the fact
Nothing else that I can do
Because I couldn't make it past
"Omigosh! It's you!"
I couldn't wait to make this an extra special day
I set aside a full ten hours' worth of pay
One hundred dollars extra for this backstage pass
Only to come back and make myself an
Annoying, stuttering fool!
Well what do I say from here?
I guess that ends this meet and greet session.
Just one of many nervous wrecks
Who failed to make a good impression
Nothing else that I can do
All you saw was me losing my cool
'Cause I couldn't make it past
"Omigosh! It's you!"

Trash Can

Trash can
I have a stinky shoe, it's going in the trash can
A coupon expired in the 90's, it's going in the trash can
A copy of Troll 2, it's going in the trash can
My best friend's cooking... Blech!
Even the trash can puked it up
Trash can

If my shirt is off,
I get told to put it back on wherever I go
I'm a blubbery sasquatch,
A sweaty, hairy potbelly nobody wants me to show
I hear screams of horror
From people wishing they were blind like Daredevil
Gouging their eyes out
Like Tyrell from Blade Runner or Elle from the second Kill Bill
And people tell me
Dude, go and lose some weight
Keep yourself covered until you hit the gym
Nobody wants to see flab,
We'd rather see bodies that are slim
Well, if you have a body image in mind,
Get on your laptop, go create some sims
Stare at their bodies a while,
I don't care I don't look like them
I'm in love with the shape I've got
Only I need to think I'm hot
I'm puttin' shamers in their spot
By being proud of my body
It's their fault if they get a look,
Then turn around and have a puke
There's no reason that I need to be rebuked
For being proud of my body
Oh, I, oh, I, oh, I, oh, I
I'm in love with my body
Oh, I, oh, I, oh, I, oh, I
I'm in love with my body
Oh, I, oh, I, oh, I, oh, I
I'm in love with my body
I'm the only one that needs to think I'm hot
And I'm proud of the shape I've got
To anyone who tries
To belittle anybody whose body doesn't fall in their line
Ask yourself if you'd ever dedicate your life
To tryin' to please a prick with a narrow mind
I've seen arms shaped like chicken drumsticks,
I've seen a disproportionate butt or two
Some of them may be tryin' to change themselves,
But news flash: It ain't to cater to you
So haters,
We're gonna flaunt our stuff
The bodies you lust for, and the ones you can't stand
From the hourglass figure
To bodies that are shaped like Thailand
All our bodies are beautiful
If you weigh 160, or 500 with no tan
Regardless of what you look like
Speak out and take a stand
I'm in love with the shape I've got
Only I need to think I'm hot
I'm putting shamers in their spot
By being proud of my body
Some people out there need to learn
Only my doctor's allowed to discern
And if it's not a physical health concern
I'll be proud of my body
Oh, I, oh, I, oh, I, oh, I
I'm in love with my body
Oh, I, oh, I, oh, I, oh, I
I'm in love with my body
Oh, I, oh, I, oh, I, oh, I
I'm in love with my body
I'm the only one that needs to think I'm hot
And I'm proud of the shape I've got
Come on, stop the shaming, come on
Come on, stop the shaming, come on
Come on, stop the shaming, come on
Come on, stop the shaming, come on
Come on, stop the shaming, come on
Come on, stop the shaming, come on
Come on, stop the shaming, come on
Come on, stop the shaming, come on
Be in love with the shape you've got
Only you need to think you're hot
It doesn't matter if they say you're not
Just be proud of your body
Show off your two differently shaped thighs
Make everybody open their eyes
And shut their mouths as soon as they realize
That you're proud of your body
Come on, stop the shaming, come on
Come on, stop the shaming, come on
(Be in love with your body)
Come on, stop the shaming, come on
Come on, stop the shaming, come on
(Be in love with your body)
Come on, stop the shaming, come on
Come on, stop the shaming, come on
(Be in love with your body)
You're the only one that needs to think you're hot
So be proud of the shape you've got

The Little Things
05:50
|

You're just a common citizen
Living upon this land
So far your life hasn't brought any major
Event on a scale that's grand
You might not have a business making millions
Or vanquish some powerful foe
But King Arthur never had
Seven green traffic lights in a row
Life is all about perspective
No princess to rescue, no dragon to slay
It's all life's small blessings that make a good day!
Celebrate the little things in life!
Just 'cause it's not major don't mean that it's nothing
Celebrate the little things in life!
That unmelted chocolate has gotta count for something
Your celebrity crush doesn't know you exist
But there's plenty of love from your cat
You just got a lawsuit for ten thousand bucks
But at least your house has no rats
A burglar broke in and stole all your jewelry
But he left you a cute plushie llama
Your bank account's in the negatives
But it now finally has a comma!
Life is all about perspective
Don't let a tax audit leave you dismayed
Count your small blessings, you might have it made!
Celebrate the little things in life!
Don't dwell on the fact that your home has burned down
Celebrate the little things in life!
Hug your plush llama, flip over that frown
Life is so variable, has both good and bad
Just take one tiny good thing, and focus on that
You'll never think your life sucks anymore at all!
Life is all about perspective
If Bobby McFerrin can be happy through litigation
A stupid and cheesy song may be all you need too!
Celebrate the little things in life! (The little things in life)
Just 'cause it's not major don't mean that it's nothing
Celebrate the little things in life! (The little things in life)
That unmelted chocolate has gotta count for something
Celebrate the little things in life! (The little things in life)
Don't dwell on the fact that your home has burned down
Celebrate the little things in life! (The little things in life)
Hug your plush llama, flip over that frown [repeat]

I got my leather jacket and my motorcycle
And I'm rip roarin' ready to go
Hittin' the highway with my game face on
People know I'm the king of the road
I've run down many low-lifes in my time
I'm a man that doesn't play
When they see me comin' they all move aside
They know it's best to stay out of my way!
And nobody ever messes with me
Even though my motorcycle has training wheels
It's got a red and orange flame painted on the side
And a shiny new set of them training wheels
Balance may not be my strong point
But I got plenty of strength in my arms
So if you laugh at me and my training wheels
I'll be sure to bring you much harm! Pow pow!
At the bar, I down a few drinks
And I'm ready for some fun tonight
Idiot in the parking lot laughing at my cycle
Guess he's lookin' for a fight
Before he even knows what's comin'
Suddenly he's on the ground
I may have dumb accessories on my cycle
But I ain't afraid to throw down!
And nobody ever messes with me
Even though my motorcycle goes *ring ring*
Imagine how embarrassed you'd be losing a fight
To a guy whose motorcycle goes *ring ring*
My triceps can crush a steel keg
So when I'm through destroying your rear
You'll be lying, broken, beaten, bleedin' on the ground
And this is the last thing you'll hear!
*ring ring, ring ring* Pow!!

Can't Stop The Weezer

We're here forever, we're here forever
We're here forever, deal with it!
In 1994, critics hailed our blue album
People loved what we had to play
Since that worked so well for us, we're abandoning that sound
So many ways to go astray
Can't stay consistent
Can't stay consistent
Leave a one star review
We'll still do what we wanna do
We can't stay consistent
We're here forever, we're here forever
We're here forever, deal with it!
Half our listeners wonder what we're gonna do next
The other half want us to leave
Some say every album since Pinkerton sucked
Others say that's just Make Believe
They can't reach agreement
They can't reach agreement
Leave polar opposite reviews
Then with each other argue
While we experiment
We're here forever, we're here forever
We're here forever, deal with it!
We're here forever, we're here forever
We're here forever, deal with it!
This worked for us, let's try it out,
It didn't work for them. Oops.
As evolving musicians, even if we fail, we grow
Though people think we're a bunch of jokers
Just wait for the sound we've planned for our mahogany album
Think Mozart meets the Chainsmokers
Can't make us go away
Can't make us go away
Leave a one star review
We'll just tell you screw you
And keep goin' anyway
We're here forever, we're here forever
We're here forever, deal with it!
We're here forever, we're here forever
We're here forever, deal with it!

Leave everything the way it is
Only protest societal changes
Leave everything the way it should be
And be an advocate for complacency
While everybody else is crying, "No!"
I'm gonna be pro status quo!
Leave everything the way we have it
Government corruption and widespread panic
Let the hysteria remain on the streets
I got another gallon of Cheetos to eat
Other bands sing about the pain and hurt
But fighting against it is too much work
For millions of years, we've had an effed up human race
So why bother now to try to make that not the case?
We'll fix one problem, create another
The problems will eventually loop back to each other
I'm tired of tryin' to reach an ever-raising bar
I need time to adjust to how things currently are
'Cause I wanna be complacency
Live my life for me
I mean it, man!
Leave everything the way it's been
I don't wanna go through that again
Until the problems directly affect me
I'm gonna live life as a deadbeat proudly
While everybody else is crying, "No!"
I'm gonna be pro status quo!

The sun begins to shine its light
It's time for you to say good night
You just finished your graveyard shift
Now off to sleep it's time to drift
The rooster makes his morning crow
And off to school the kids all go
Your neighbors soon will eat breakfast
It's time that you lay down to rest
Crickets sound most people to bed
You get to deal with lawnmowers instead
And barking dogs and squawking birds
But just loud snoring from you will be heard
All around you, people are
Driving, cleaning, fixing, or swearing at their cars
Parents yell at their four year olds to stay off the street
All while you drift off to sleep
Don't you worry, just rest, my dear
The normal people will take it from here
Feel the sun as it shines bright
And know that means it's time to say good night
Good night, relatively speaking

Deconstructing Mario
17:34

[Bowser]
I am a turtle, I rule a kingdom
I have many minions who do what I tell them
None of whom desire to start any rebellion
I could have any Koopa girl I want to be my queen
But none of them really fulfill my dreams
I have no business messing around with humans
But oh... that princess over there
With a skin so pure and fair
And a crown upon her hair
How I could write poems to your beauty
You rule a kingdom of your own
Your people, they all seem to be
Happy, healthy, and free
Their peace, you oversee
Diligently following your duty
You have power, you have beauty
Two things of which I wish I had more
I must have you, my perfect princess
That would make my life just peachy
But no, you'd never agree to me
There's no ethical way to court someone
Outside of your species
Calling all my best subservient beings
With the military know how
And the tactical strategies
We shall use our strongest troops
Some magic and some trickery
I will have your beauty
And power over two kingdoms
Mine! All mine! All mine!
[Toad]
Hark! The princess has been taken!
Gather together, citizens
It's time to plan a meeting to determine
How to get her back!
Send the biggest army!
Send the noble Calvary!
Send our fighting air force
With our strongest weaponry!
Send our most fearsome troops!
NO!
Everyone knows the princess is
Romantically involved with the plumber
If we're to send anyone out there,
Send the plumber!
[Mario]
Yes, toads, I accept
Send me on my way
I will get the princess
And bring her back today
Armed with just my legs and feet
Not militarily trained
Praying random items of power
Are scattered across the terrain
I admire your sense of strategy
I'm humbled that you have chosen me
Over your greatest military troops
I'll prove to you that you chose well
And besides, it's a chance at a new girlfriend
Since Pauline dumped me
After she got caught up in some monkey business...
Oh princess, I'll prove myself worthy
[Kamek]
Hark! They've sent someone to rescue the princess!
Our King, how do you respond?
[Bowser]
I will scatter all my minions across the land
And they are to obey my every command
You are all to go to your assigned platforms
And strictly walk in pre-assigned patterns
And if you reach the edge of a platform
Just keep walking, pretend it isn't there!
Some of you will be specific exceptions to the rule
Some of you will get some random thing that you will do
But always remember... Stay in your patterns!!!
[Kamek]
Sir, don't you think
We should follow more tactical strategies?
You know, the ones we used
To get the princess in the first place?
We can't be predictable, that's how we lose!
[Bowser]
My noble advisor, I generally trust you
But their kingdom sent out a stupid plumber
He's never gonna figure us out
I'm telling everybody... Stay in your patterns!!!
[Kamek]
But sir...
Some of those platforms simply hover over nothing
And if we just walk off the edge
We're simply walking to our deaths
How does that stop a free thinker
From watching us die like lemmings? (Oh no!)
Then going about his way
Making it through to you
And the ends of our lives mean nothing
There's gotta be a better way
Hear our pleas, what do you say?
[Bowser]
No!!!!
I have this all according to plan
The princess shall stay in my hands
The plumber doesn't stand a chance
When my entire herd advance
My world is set up linearly
To get harder progressively
Just when he thinks he's got us down
We'll beat him with our numbers
Just follow my word!
Patterns! Patterns! Patterns!
Stay in your patterns!!!
[Mario]
I'm traveling through a strange land
Bouncing on random creatures' heads
Though they're not actually attacking me
And I have no reason to knock 'em dead
Except for the jerks throwing hammers at me
You all deserve to die!!!
I'm trying out some mushrooms
And that flower that happened to spring
After doing so many mushrooms
I'm trying out literally anything
I just tried out a feather
And look at me, I can fly!!!
I can fly through this land
But in a predetermined path
I can't fly over the edges of the bigger world
But I can skip around via the extensive pipe systems
And hop around the world nonlinearly!
[Bowser]
How is he skipping around?
You're supposed to go through the worlds
Like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and you're just bouncing around
Like 7, 1, 2, 8, 3!
And those items that are giving him power!
Who the hell put them there?
And why aren't any of you using them?
[Kamek]
Just following patterns like you asked, sir.
[Bowser]
No! He's gotta be stopped!
Pattern harder! Pattern harder! Pattern harder!!!!!
[Mario]
I mean, his castle is right there, I can see it
From the second Donut Secret
But strangely, I have to go the long way around
[interlude for battle]
Princess, I, a plumber with no weapons
Relying on enemy soil's nature, and its gifts
And the predictability of its inhabitants
I have made my way through treacherous lands
And now you're safe inside my hands
Why they sent me, and not a fighting troop
Is beyond me, but...
Here I am, my lady
Ready to take you home
Your people are awaiting
They'll be excited when you come
There'll be toads cheering you on
Happy to have you back
As you're now home and safe
Until Bowser's next attack
Why he does this all the time
I think he's just insane
It just feels like, at this point
It's all become a game
But I promise I will do it
As often as I must
As long as they trust me
And if he keeps on taking you
I will go through every land
No matter the change in setup
Just to bring you back
To your kingdom
To your people
And to me!!!!
It's an amazing world when I'm a plumber
And a princess is not way out of my league
[Klump]
Dear King K. Rool, please don't make the exact same mistakes Bowser made.
Your faithful servant, Klump!
