Excuse Me, What?



What you just said
was very bizarre
I should have stayed in bed
Please leave my car
It made me want to cry
You're not funny, stop trying
You're a clown, to you I say goodbye
Please go away, no one's dying
Your brain is made of special matter
Your brain, they should boil
It's made of clown honks, 0 brain cells, and cake batter
and don't forget the extra virgin (olive oil)
Stop being a clown
Stupid, you do sound
You're letting everyone down
Go bury yourself in the ground
