Lyrics[edit]

Christmas in December[edit]

Homer:

Christmas in December!

Wow, wow, wow!

Give me tons of presents

Now, now, now!

Ned Flanders:

Hey, hey, Homer! Writing a new Christmas carol?

Homer:

Maybe.

Flanders:

Well, the Bible says it's fun to do stuff together.

There's a stranger in the manger,

And his name is love.

Take it, Homer.

[Homer shoves Flanders outside]

Oh, I got it. You want me to stay out here and work on the chorus.

Homer:

Flanders, I am a patient, reasonable, handsome man. But even I have my limits. Now beat it!

[Homer attempts to spray Flanders with water from the garden hose but the water ends up freezing]

Flanders:

Why, thank you, Homer. It's a Popsicle and my favorite flavor: plain.

[Flanders breaks off a piece and licks it, Homer gets furious and accidentally sprays and freezes himself]

Flanders Is His Name[edit]

Homer:

Lousy no good—How'm I supposed to write a song with that stupid jerk bothering me all the time and—? Wait a minute.

[plays three notes on the piano]

Everybody in the U.S.A.

Hates their stupid neighbor,

He's Flanders and he's really, really lame.

Flanders tried to wreck my song,

His views on birth control are wrong.

I hate his guts and Flanders is his name.

Homer, Lenny and Carl:

F-L-A-N-R-D-S!

Homer:

He's the man that I hate best!

I'd like to see his house go up in flames!

[cheering]

Everybody Hates Ned Flanders[edit]

David Byrne:

Excuse me, I've been researching indigenous folk music of Springfield, and I couldn't help overhearing your delightfully cruel hate song.

Carl:

David Byrne?!

Moe Szyslak:

Singer, artist, composer, director, Talking Head...

David Byrne:

And, I used to wrestle under the name "El Diablo."

Lenny:

I thought that was Philip Glass.

David Byrne:

Yeah, he wishes.

Homer:

Hey, Mister? If you like my song so much, would you like to buy a tape? It's already rewound.

David Byrne:

No thanks. But I would like to sing it with you and produce it.

Homer:

Fine.

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!

Homer, David and Ned:

If you despise polite left-handers,

Then I doubt you'll like Ned Flanders

Or his creepy little offspring, Rod and Todd.

Audience:

F-L-A!

Apu:

His name is Ned!

Audience:

E-R-S!

Apu:

He is so white bread!

Homer and Choir:

The smiling moustache geek who walks with God!

Reverend Lovejoy:

Mass dismissed.

William Shatner's Version[edit]

Bill:

We're half-way through our same song six-pack!

Marty:

Now let's hear William Shatner's version of "Everybody Hates Ned Flanders"!

Marge:

Another cover? My God, let it die.

William Shatner:

Everybody...

In the U.S...

A...

Hates... their...

Stupid... neighbor...

He's the Flanders... man...

The Flanders, man...

Flanders...

Marge:

I am so sick of that song!

Homer:

Me too -- I've come to hate my own creation. Now I know how God feels.

El Hombre Estupido[edit]

Homer:

This dude ranch is gonna be great. A whole week without hearing that stupid song.

David Byrne:

You won't think it's stupid when you hear the Extended Salsa Mix!

¡No nos gusta Flanders!

¡Es un hombre estúpido!

¡No nos gusta Flanders!

Marge:'

Watch it, Mr. Byrne! You'll slip on the Simoniz!

David Byrne:

Simoniz?

Moe:

Woah. Woah!

David Byrne:

Can you take me to the hospital?

Moe:

Yeah, no problem.
