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.

Shary Bobbins:

But haven't I taught you people anything?

Homer:

No.

Lisa

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.

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!

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?

Homer:

I'm sure we will, honey.

(Contrary to his statement, she gets killed by a plane.)

I'm sure we will.
