Lyrics

Shary Bobbins:

All right, children. Let's clean up this room.

Bart:

Aw, man.

Lisa:

Do we have to?

Shary Bobbins:

Now, now, I know a little secret that will make the job go twice as fast.

If there's a task that must be done,

Don't turn your tail and run.

Don't pout,

Don't sob,

Just do a half-assed job.

If you cut every corner,

It is really not so bad.

Everybody does it.

Even Mom and Dad.

If nobody sees it,

Then nobody gets mad.

Bart:

It's the American way.

Shary Bobbins:

The policeman on the beat

Needs some time to rest his feet.

Chief Wiggum:

Fighting crime is not my cup of tea.

Shary Bobbins:

And the clerk who runs the store

Can charge a little more

For meat...

Apu:

For meat...

Shary Bobbins:

And milk...

Apu:

And milk...

Shary Bobbins & Apu:

From nineteen eighty-four.

Shary Bobbins:

If you cut every corner,

You'll have more time for play.

Shary Bobbins and the Simpsons:

It's the American way!!
