Thick Jacket

My thick jacket
Is really very nice!
It protects me from the snow
It protects me from the ice
My thick jacket—
It may be out of style
But it's very thick—
Keeps me warm and agile
Thick, thick jacket!
Thick, thick jacket!
My thick jacket—
It's poiple and it's sweet!
It does a good job at
Keepin' in da heat
My thick jacket—
Man, it's the best in the nation
And that's because
it's got the best insulation
When it gets cold
We put on our thick jackets
When it gets cold
We put on our thick jackets
(Harpsichord solo)
Yo!
I really like my thick jacket!
I really like my thick jacket!
I really like my thick jacket!
I like my thick jacket!
I really like my thick jacket!
I really like my thick jacket!
I really like my thick jacket!
I really like my thick jacket!
Whoa-ah!!
January 22nd: Jacket left me
It's all my fault
I don't even know who I am anymore
Honestly, I'm nothing without my thick jacket
When it gets cold, I put on my thick jacket
When it gets cold, I put on my thick jacket!
My thick jacket—
It's size is extra large!
It demands respect
Yeah, it puts me in charge!
My thick jacket—
You've already been told!
It's the best
'Cause it keeps out the cold!

Cheesy Pop Song

I sure like it when it's sunny outside!
The clouds in the sky—
(I hate my life)
My friend is so depressing
that it makes me wanna cry
(My life is so depressing
that it makes me wanna die)
But I sure like it when it's sunny outside
I sure like it when it's sunny outside
When it's sunny outside
I can say to him
Let's sing a song—
A cheesy pop song!
And the world will sing along
To our cheesy song!
I like the warm feeling from the sun!
(It's been three years since I've had a hug)
Jade, why do you gotta bring me down?
Everything sucks when you're around
It's because my life's a mess
You at your worst is me at my best
My life sucks!
There's nothin' I can do
Aw, come on Jade!
Let's, let's sing a song—
A cheesy pop song!
And the world will sing along
To our cheesy song!
Let's, let's sing a song!
A cheesy pop song!
And the world will sing along
To our cheesy song!
This world sucks!
(No, it doesn't)
Yes, it does!
Don't you see that
We can fix this
If we can dream!
Roger, there's something
I gotta tell you
The problems of the world
Cannot be solved just by singing!
Rip out my face!
Rip out my eyes!
Can't see the end!
Supersize!
Come on, Jade
Give it a shot
Do you want to be happy or not?
Let's, let's sing a song—
A cheesy pop song
And the world will sing along—
(To this cheesy song)
Yeah!
You just can't go wrong
With cheesy pop songs!
So the world will join along
To our cheesy song!

I like apples
Yes I do
Apples are my favorite thing to chew
They're so good
And so red
I just cannot get these apples out of my head!
If only I had an apple tree
That's all I'd need to be happy
All the apples that I could ever want to eat
All these apples for me!
Apples for me!
I'll try not to be rude
Apples are the alpha-food
But I will not condescend
To my orange-eating friends
If only I had an apple tree
I would be as happy as an apple-eating guy could be!
Apples make me so happy, yeah!
Apples are good
Apples are good

Corn Dogs
02:43
|
|||
|
The world is such a messy place
The things I've seen, I can't erase
Life keeps getting worse and worse
The only way outta here is in a hearse
It's been too long, or so it seems,
That I've been living off broken dreams
When I've reached my downfall
And it feels like nothing can help me at all:
I eat lots of corndogs,
Give a call to my grandma,
Watch an episode of SpongeBob
Play a game of leapfrog
Rock Band at midnight
Yo, dawg, this is so tight
Maybe have a tickle fight
(No, shh)
These things make me feel just right!
Pain keeps coming from all around
It's powerful and deep like surround sound
With the subwoofer of pain and the treble of sorrow
Sometimes I only hope I'll face a better tomorrow
Corn dogs remind me of the fair
And they can go with me anywhere
I can eat them on a train, I can eat them in a tree
Doctor Seuss ain't got nothin' on me!
I eat lots of corn dogs
Yeah, lots and lots of corn dogs
Another episode of SpongeBob
(Hey, Roger, look what I drew!)
Good Job!
Take a look at the blue sky
Corn dogs are deep fried
I really like corn dogs
I'm gonna eat my corn dog now
We're so dark and mysterious
...What? I'm serious!
In this world we're living in
I don't think I can ever win!
I'm all alone; I wish I had friends
At least I'd like to know that life gets better before it ends
Everything good comes with a price
And free things just never are nice
Now that you know how much life sucks
You can be sad and depressing like us
Never feeling happy; never feeling good
This is what I get for living in the hood
We got something that keeps our head above the water
A little trick I learned from my wise grandfather
When the glass is half-empty instead of half-full
Just take your favorite food and shove it in your mouth-hole
I eat lots of corn dogs
Yeah, lots and lots of corn dogs
So many corn dogs
I am eating corn dogs
Crunchy on the outside
Meaty on the inside
It's deliciousness cannot hide
Be prepared to die as worlds start to collide!

(I Want to Go to) Space
01:22
|
|||
|
I wanna go to space!
I wanna go to space!
I want to see all the stars in the sky!
I wanna go to space
I wanna go to space
I wanna fly-ee-aye-ee-aye-ee-yeah!
And when we get there
We're gonna go everywhere
From the stars
To mars!
And pluto!
And ...mars?
To the edge of the Milky Way!
We're tired of gravity holding us down
We just need some mass to orbit around
Outer space just seems like a much better place to be
Yeah-ee-yeah!

We Are So Rich
02:31
|
|||
|
There once was a time when I was poor
Now that I've got money, it's not the case anymore
I can use my wallet now; it's not just wasting space
In my pocket, and that's because
We are so rich!
Just look at how rich we are
Luck knew that we needed more
We are so rich!
We have $17
We could buy the world!
Yeah!
We sure have the good life
And I must say that it is nice
I can buy the things that my heart desires most
Like cheese and toast
'Cause we are so rich!
Just look at how rich we are
Luck knew that we needed more
We are so rich!
We have $17
We could buy the world!
Yeah!
Ooo Ooo Ooo Ahh
Havin' this much cash really is a blast
I bet you're wondering how we became so rich so fast
We have so much cash, we throw it in the trash!
We have so much cash, we throw it in the trash, yeah!
We never wanna go back to the time
When we didn't even have a nickel or a dime
Nickel! Dime!
Nickel! Dime!
We are so rich—duggu-duggu-duh, yeah!
We have $17
Now we have a purpose when we go to the store!
We are so rich!
We are so rich!
We are so rich!

Mailman
02:56
|
|||
|
I wake up in the morning
With a smile upon my face
Feelin' super giddy
Prancing 'round all over the place
'Cause every day at three o'clock,
Down my street this guy walks
Inserting little papers in my box
And every day when our eyes meet,
He says to me, "Oh, hi"
And then I start to cry
'Cause he's such an awesome guy
I love my mailman
Because he is so great!
He brings me all of my mail
And he is never late!
When no one wants to talk to me
At least once a day there'll be
A mailman there for me to see
And that's why he means so much to me!
I wake up every morning
Feeling like a piece of crap
Tired, lazy, apathetic
With sharp pains up my back
But every day at three o'clock
I see this giddy guy
That talks to me like I'm his best friend
Frankly, I don't know why
But it puts my life into perspective
Time and time again
My life may be grim
But at least I'm not as pathetic as him!
Yeah, yeah yeah!
I love my mailman
Because he is so great!
And I love my mail route
That brings me out this way!
Seeing you just makes my day
(It makes me not wanna kill myself)
And all my problems fade away
(Shows me that life can be much worse for me)
I just want the world to see
That you (And that)
Mean so much (Means so much)
To me... (To me...)

Extra Cheese
03:01
|
|||
|
The other day
Me and my friend
Wanted a pizza
So we called in
We asked the guy
What he'd suggest
To make our pizza
The very best
"Get more cheese" is what he said
A concept I just couldn't get inside my head
But when the pizza came
To my surprise
The box beheld the most delicious thing before my eyes
'Cause there was extra cheese
Covering the surface of the pepperoni and bread!
Taste the seas of dairy product
Sweeping o'er this pizza—look at it spread!
Some people say that they're sick of this stuff
But frankly, you know, I just can't get enough
And I don't think that there is a thing in this world
That would not benefit from more cheese!
The other day
We went to
A little picnic
'Cause that's what men do!
Out in the sun
Out having fun
Oh, and the food—
There was a ton
We had a contest to see who could bring the best food
He thought he was winning, but I knew that wasn't true
He could never compete with me
Because, you see...
I covered mine in extra cheese!
All the food the eye could see was coated,
Oh, yes, it's true!
Everything: lollipops and soda-pops
And even some in my shoe!
Everyone knows that this stuff is the bomb!
The beauty of cheese is you just can't go wrong!
And I don't think that there is a thing in this world
That would not benefit from more cheese!
(Synth solo)
The other day
We bought new phones
And then we left
And brought 'em home
We were both sure
Ours was the best
We took them out
And both confessed:
I like your phone!
And I like your phone!
Hi-ho the dairy-oh,
We liked each other's phones!
'Cause they had extra cheese
Seeping through the interface of
These phones that we just bought!
Both of these devices are non-functional
And they sure cost us a lot!
You should know by now that we don't care that much
Nobody likes cheese nearly as much as us!
And we know there isn't a thing in this that world
That would not benefit from more cheese!

Today is gonna be good
Today is gonna be great
It will be the best day to date!
Make my way down the street
Greetin' all the people I meet
Today's day just can't be beat!
(No it can't)
And if anyone makes me sad or grim,
I'll just say to them:
Don't bring me down!
The happiness is here to say
So don't make me frown!
'Cause I'll just push you out of my way
Don't make me sad
'Cause I'll stay glad!
My new motto for life
Makes living quite nice!
I went to see my good buddy Max
We hang out, chill, and relax
And munch on some tasty snacks
We have been friends for years
But I hate it when I have to hear
His problems
Followed by tears
Don't bring me down!
I say it to the people in town:
Don't make me frown!
Spreadin' joy all around.
If someone makes you feel blue,
You know what to do
Just say this phrase
Right in their face:
Don't bring me down!

Nature
03:23
|

|
Look at this amazing flower
Can't you see that it is purple?
If it weren't for Mother Nature,
It would just be grey
The shapes of leaves are so complex
They scatter everywhere
But if it weren't for Mother Nature,
They would all be square
Nature!
You sure are great
I gotta say
You sure are great
In every way
You sure are great!
La la-la la la!
Yeah!
Nature does so much for us
Things we can't perceive
I take out my phone
And snap a picture
of all these awesome trees!
That picture's great;
It just pops out!
The greens are oh-so green!
Well that's because you're viewing it
On an Apple-brand retina screen!
Uh—
Nature!
You sure are great
I gotta say
You sure are great
In every way
You sure are great!
We love nature inside and out
We love nature without a doubt
Nature wallpapers and ringtones
On our new phones
Our new cell phones beat the rest
I must say that I'm impressed
I look into the phones that I buy
So I'm not left behind
Have you heard the rumors stirred
About the iPhone 23
With a 4D screen, 17 cameras,
And a nozzle for easy cheese?
Technology advances at incredible speeds
It's just like one big blur
But I guess in a way
You really gotta say
That it all goes back to good old Mother Nature...?
Cell phones!
They freakin' rock in several ways
I can get a text while my music plays
They cost a fortune, but that's okay
'Cause I use my phone every day!

End of the World
05:43
|

|
Good morning, good morning!
Today is a beautiful day!
I’m feeling very happy and that feeling’s gonna stay!
Good morning, this morning
Will begin the rest of my life!
I’m feeling very happy and that feeling’s very nice!
Max, pick up your phone
There is something that I—
Oh, hi Max
Max, you’ll never guess the news I just read
Have you heard it?
The world’s gonna end and I—I don’t think we’ll live.
We’re gonna die and I swear that this news is reliable
This is the end, this is the end!
Panic! Fear!
You know the this will kill us all!
(It’s the end of the world, it’s the end of the world)
Roger, there’s no need to fear
This website’s scaring you
Do any one of these headlines seem true?
The world will end, and our lives will too!
Roger just stop with all of this racket!
—Oh no…
You’re finally starting to comprehend
That the world is gonna end!
Don’t lose control; don’t go into a panic!
I just can’t believe it’s true
After all that we’ve been through
I have no idea what we should do
Do you?
Come take a look at this!
Come take a look at this!
It’s something I made back when I was six
It is my bucket list!
It is my bucket list!
My bucket list!
Let’s take a shot at #325
I know for a fact that Jade is alive
He’s alive
…Right?
…Roger?
No, Maxwell, you’re wrong!
Jade’s been dead all along!
And he’s gone!
Roger I’m not dead
Can’t you get it through your head?
I am so happy you’re here, Jade, my friend
Surely you’ve heard that the world’s gonna end.
Matter of fact, I heard it a while back
And they say it’s gonna happen pretty soon
Time’s ticking away and we're growing quite afraid
And we have no idea what to do
Just throw away that clock
And smash it with a rock
We’ll sit down at the lake and we’ll talk
We went there and we each brought something with us to the beach
That we thought that we would want or we would need
I brought a TV set!
And I brought my clarinet!
And I brought a box of corn dogs with extra cheese!
Let’s forget about our debts, doubts, remorses, and regrets
We’ll sit down and we’ll watch the sun set!
We know and we will not try to pretend
We’ll live our last moments here with our friends
Settle our differences make our amends
Comfort while knowing that this is the end—
The end of the world!

Friendship!
03:04
|
|||
|
Friends stick together
Through the thick and thin
Friends survive the end of the world
No matter what mood they're in
And all that's around us
Is just a playground of survival
And we're just having fun
Friendship, friendship helps us survive
Friendship gives us tools to keep us alive
It's worth all the pain and suffering we feel
To be here with my best friend
Friends distract each other from unavoidable, eventual death
Friends may even try to escape unavoidable, eventual death
In desperate exploration we stumble on a rocket
We'll use to fly to space
Friendship spaceship will keep us alive
Friendship hopefully can fix up this bike
So we can go to space
And find a whole new world
And live there as best friends!
And when we get there
I hope they have breathable air
Hovercars
Guitars!
Oranges!
And... ugh!
In a world that's so far away!

Poor and Homeless
02:23
|

If being poor means
Not having lots of money
Then I guess I'm poor
If being poor means
Not having lots of cash
Then I'm poor for sure
But if being poor means
That I don't have the most important things
You can't buy at the store
Then I'm not all that poor
I have a functioning body with functioning limbs
I have a nice little hat with a nice little brim
I have breathable air and a world to explore
So I can't say that I feel all that poor
I have a nice little watch that I can wear on my wrist
I have a sandwich to eat for any meal that I've missed
I have an iPhone with a data plan that my parents pay for
So I can't say that I feel all that poor
I have this special rock my friend painted for me
I can search in the dumpster to find something to eat
I can save up the coins I have and try to find more
So I guess I shouldn't feel all that poor
And if we get cold in this frigid air
We can go to the apartment that I live in upstairs
I have a couch and comfortable heat
And cupboards full of food if we want to eat
Yes, I have a laptop and wifi to keep us entertained.
We can play all the video games that I have obtained
On this 50" television that I adore
Now, thanks to you
I really don't feel all that poor!
