Lyrics
- Lenny and Carl:
- F-L-A,
- Homer:
- His name is Ned!
- Lenny and Carl:
- E-R-S,
- Homer:
- That's a stupid name!
- It's worse than Frankenstein or Dr. No!
- David Byrne:
- You can't upset him even slightly,
- He just smiles and nods politely,
- Then goes home and worships nightly,
- His Leftorium is an emporium of woe!
- Lenny and Carl:
- F-L-A,
- Homer:
- [mocking tone] Don't yell at Ned!
- Lenny and Carl:
- D-E-R,
- Homer:
- His wife is dead!
- Everybody hates that stupid jerk!
- David Byrne:
- Springfield rocks with Homer's joyous loathing,
- Filling clubs with angry Valentinos.
- You don't have to move your feet,
- Just hate Flanders to the disco beat.
- Homer and David Byrne:
- He's your perky, peppy, nightmare neighborino!
- If you despise polite left-handers,
- Homer, David and Ned:
- Then I doubt you'll like Ned Flanders
- Or his creepy little offspring, Rod and Todd.
- Todd:
- That's us!
- Rod:
- Hooray!
- Audience:
- F-L-A!
- Apu:
- His name is Ned!
- Audience:
- E-R-S!
- Apu:
- He is so white bread!
- Choir:
- The smiling mustache geek who walks with God!
