Lyrics[edit]

Back-Up Singers:
I just can't help myself!
I just can't help myself!
I just can't help myself!
I just can't help myself!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
(I just can't help myself!)
Bart:
There I go, here I go, where I go, I don't know.
I just can't help myself, so
Why do I do what I do when I do?
Well I can say so or I just don't know.
Boys will be boys is what I usually say.
That's the how and the why, that I act this way.
That's the end of the line, I run out of rhyme
That ain't a crime, so it's milk it out time!
Let's do, I know it's some cosmic force
Cause in my mind, you go,
Just wait off course
To another dimension
Not only of site and sound,
But of being a clown,
Or an alley cat, or a dirty rat,
Or a loud mouth brat!
Well, I am all that!
So if you ask me, why
I'm always in such a mess,
Well, ha, I just can't help myself!
Back-Up Singers:
Can't help it,
I just can't help myself
Can't help it,
I just can't help myself
Can't help it,
I just can't help myself
Can't help it,
I just can't help myself
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
I just can't help myself!
I just can't help myself!
Lisa:
A very great lady once said it right,
A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bike.
Ha-ha! There I go again, Sister Know-It-All.
No friends at all, 'cause I make them crawl.
I can help showing off, all that I know,
All the whats I can do, all the wheres I can go.
I know, it's makes the family very uptight
I know, it isn't right, but I do it every night.
I'm probably don't belong here,
I'm certainly were wrong here.
Every night I have a dream, more like a nightmare.
I see myself being born, Mom and Dad are there,
But it's not Marge and it's not Homer.
Switched in a cradle, no wonder I'm a goner,
I feel like a book, that's on the wrong shelf,
I know, I shouldn't think it, but
I just can't help myself!
Back-Up Singers:
Can't help it,
I just can't help myself
Can't help it,
I just can't help myself
Can't help it,
I just can't help myself
Can't help it,
I just can't help myself
I just can't help myself
I just can't help myself
I just can't help myself
I just can't help myself
I just can't help myself
I just can't help myself
I just can't help myself
I just can't help myself
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Homer:
Hey, you know, I kinda like this thing!
It's sorta like music, but you don't have to sing
You got none of the work, and all of the fun
Like a low cal donut or a fat free bun
By the way, that's reminds me, how about a snack
Just a small sandwich or a cold six-pack
A big pack of pork rinds that couldn't' hurt
A cake for dessert will keep my mind alert
Oh, it takes a lot of energy to do this rap
I feel kinda sleepy, better take a nap
Not too long a nap, two hours, that's a winner
I wouldn't wanna sleep to a a roast beef dinner,
Roast beef with gravy and potatoes
Hot rolls and butter
Lettuce and tomatoes
I know, I shouldn't eat it
I got to keep my health
But what the hey,
Back-Up Singers:
Can't help it,
I just can't help myself
Can't help it,
I just can't help myself
Can't help it,
I just can't help myself
Can't help it,
I just can't help myself
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
I just can't help myself
Go! Go! Go! Go!
I just can't help myself
Go! Go! Go! Go!
I just can't help myself
Go! Go! Go! Go!
I just can't help myself
Go! Go! Go! Go!
I just can't help myself
Go! Go! Go! Go!
I just can't help myself
Go! Go! Go! Go!
I just can't help myself
Go! Go! Go! Go!
I just can't help myself
Go! Go! Go! Go!
I just can't help myself
Go! Go! Go! Go!
I just can't help myself
Go! Go! Go! Go!
(repeat until fade)
