This Cant Be Good



Everybodys in the kitchen now,
mashing that pastrami into the linoleum,
like the stupid dance record from 1962 told them...
now theyre eating cinnamon with some guy whos stupid...

dont make cresent rolls to impress someone,
they can do it to you know!
dont swing around stiffly like you might
own a diner someday...
with waitresses so brassy...

open up your pocketbook,
get another fish stick out,
dip it in the tartar sauce,
om my god youre choking now,
lets get to the hospital,
nevermind you just died...
this movie is not good
