Lyrics[edit]

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!
