Lyrics[edit]
Episode version[edit]
- Homer:
- Around the house,
- I never lift a finger.
- As a husband and father,
- I'm subpar.
- I'd rather drink a beer
- Than win Father of the Year.
- I'm happy with things the way they are.
- Lisa:
- I'm getting used to never getting noticed.
- Bart:
- I'm stuck here till I can steal a car.
- Marge:
- The house is still a mess
- And I'm going bald from stress.
- Marge, Bart and Lisa:
- But we're happy just the way we are.
- Flanders:
- They're not perfect,
- But the Lord says, "Love thy neighbor."
- Homer:
- Shut up, Flanders!
- Flanders:
- Okely-dokely-doo.
- Shary Bobbins:
- Don't think it's sour grapes,
- But you're all a bunch of apes,
- And so I must be leaving you!
Album version[edit]
- Marge:
- Shary, you did the best you could, but you can't change this family and neither can I. From now on, I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy the ride.

- But haven't I taught you people anything?
- Homer:
- No.

- No.
- Bart:
- No.
- Marge:
- No.
- Maggie:
- [suck suck suck]
- Shary Bobbins:
- So you like it this way?
- Homer:
- Indubitably.
- Around the house,
- I never lift a finger.
- As a husband and father,
- I'm subpar.
- I'd rather drink a beer
- Than win Father of the Year.
- I'm happy with things the way they are.
- Lisa:
- I'm getting used to never getting noticed.
- Bart:
- I'm stuck here till I can steal a car.
- Marge:
- The house is still a mess
- And I'm going bald from stress.

- Flanders:
- They're not perfect,
- But the Lord says, "Love thy neighbor."
- Homer:
- Shut up, Flanders!
- Flanders:
- Okely-dokely-doo.
- Shary Bobbins:
- Don't think it's sour grapes,
- But you're all a bunch of apes,
- And so I must be leaving you!
- Bart and Lisa:
- Goodbye, Shary Bobbins.
- Marge:
- Thanks for everything.
- Barney Gumble:
- So long, Superman.
- Lisa:
- (to Homer) Do you think we'll ever see her again?
