Lyrics
- Homer:
- BART!
- Marge:
- Go to your room!
- Bart:
- Yeah, right!
- Well, you're damned if you do ... What are we talking about?
- Well, you're damned if you do ... Where's your sense of humor?
- Well, you're damned if you do,
- And you're damned if you don't.
- Homer:
- BART!!!
- Bart:
- Lemme start at the start, then take it away.
- My name is Simpson, Bartholomew J.
- That's Bart with an "art" and a capital "B"
- Then "Simp" plus "S-O-N," that's me.
- Introductions aside, let's move right along,
- You can all sing along at the sound of the gong.
- Once upon a time, about a week ago,
- All of a sudden, trouble started to grow.
- Alarm was buzzin', I was snoozin'.
- S'posed to get up now. I was refusin'
- To let reality become an intrusion,
- Cuz in Dreamy Dreamland, I was cruisin'.
- But the buzzin', my head kept buzzin',
- Gave the radio a throw and I heard an explosion.
- Homer:
- D'oh!
- Bart:
- Opened up my eyes, to my surprise,
- There stood Homer and his temperature rised.
- I was chillin', he was yellin',
- Face all distorted, cuz he was propellin'.
- It wasn't what he said, but more of his tone
- The usual jive, put your nose to the grindstone.
- I said, "I'm real sorry." But that didn't cut it.
- I tried to protest but Dad said,
- Homer:
- Shut it!
- Get up, mow the lawn! Move it on the double!
- 'Cause if you don't, you're in deep, deep troubel!
- Singers:
- Trouble!
- Homer
- BART!
- Singers:
- Deep, deep trouble!
- Homer:
- Bart!
- Secondary Singers:
- Come on, come on!
- Singers:
- Run into trouble!
- Bart:
- Where's your sense of humor, man?
- Singers:
- Deep, deep trouble!
- And they go a little something like this.
- Hit it!
- Bart:
- So I'm in the front yard, mowin' like crazy,
- Sweatin' like a pig, and the sun is blazy.
- Homer's in the driveway, gettin' in the car
- With Mom and Lisa, hope they're goin' real far.
- Then Dad yells,
- Homer:
- BART!!!
- Bart:
- And I go, "Yo!"
- He goes,
- Homer:
- You done yet?
- Bart:
- And I go, "No."
- So he goes,
- Homer:
- Oh! You're too slow!
- Bart:
- So I step on the gas to speed up the mow.
- Didn't see that sprinkler underneath that tree.
- Wham! Krrpsh!! Rainin' on me!
- I go, "Woah!" Homer goes,
- Homer:
- D'oh!
- Now you can't go to the boat show!
- Bart:
- This is my thanks after working my butt off?
- Homer revs the motor and they all start to putt off.
- Soaked to the bone, standin' in a puddle.
- No one needs to tell me I'm in deep, deep trouble.
- Secondary singers:
- Come on, come on!
- Singers:
- Trouble!
- Marge:
- Go to your room!
- Homer:
- Bart!
- Bart:
- Yeah, right.

- Bart:
- You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't.
- Secondary singers:
- Come on, come on!
- Homer
- D'oh!
- Bart:
- As soon as they're gone, I'm stretched on the lawn,
- Lookin' at the sky with my sunshades on.
- Now, I never ever claimed that I was a smarty,
- But inspiration hit me: LET'S HAVE A PARTY!
- Called up my posse. They were here in a flash!
- They brought all their pals, we started to thrash.
- There was rompin' and stompin' and occasional crash,
- A fist fight or two, and Nintendo for cash.
- We raided the fridge, dogs raided the trash,
- I got a little worried when the windows got smashed.
- The next thing you know, Mom and Dad are home.
- The kids disappear and I'm all alone.
- Everything's silent except for my moan
- And the low bluesy tone of a saxophone.
- They look at me then they go into a huddle,
- I get the sinking sensation I'm in deep, deep trouble.
- Singers:
- Trouble!
- Homer
- D'oh!
- Marge:
- Go to your room!
- Bart:
- Oh, give me a break!
- Singers:
- Deep, deep trouble!
- Homer:
- Hey, what is this ... Bart! D'oh!
- Singers:
- Deep, deep trouble!
- Marge:
- Go to your room!
- Bart:
- Oh, yeah.
- Marge:
- Bar-Bar ... Go to your room!
- Homer:
- D'oh!
- Singers:
- Deep, deep trouble!
- Marge:
- Go to your room!
- Homer:
- Bart!
- Singers:
- Come on, come on!
- Bart:
- There's a little epilogue to my tale of sadness,
- I was dragged down the street by his Royal Dadness.
- We rounded the corner and came to a stop,
- Threw me inside Jake's Barber Shop.
- I said, "Please, sir, just a little off the top."
- Dude shaved me bare, gave me a lollipop
- So on my head, there's nothin' but stubble.
- Man, I hate bein' in deep, deep trouble.
- Singers:
- Trouble!
- Bart:
- You're damned if you do ...
- Well, you're damned if you do ...
- Singers:
- Deep, deep trouble!
- Bart:
- You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't. Aw, come on, man!
- Singers:
- Tough, tough trouble!
- Bart:
- You're damned if you do ... What are we talking about?
- Well, you're damned if you do ... Where's your sense of humor?
- Singers:
- Deep, deep trouble!
- Bart:
- You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't.
- Homer:
- D'oh!
- Singers:
- Trouble! Deep, deep trouble!
