Lyrics

Coach Krupt:

Hey, Maitre d'!

Groundskeeper Willie:

May I help you, sir?

Coach Krupt:

These roles are stale! BOMBARDMENT!!! Bring me some more! BOMBARDMENT!!! And, uh, some nice tea for the lady please. BOMBARDMENT!!!

Groundskeeper Willie:

(sighs)

I've a fancy suit,

And a clean white shirt,

But I miss the days when tractor fumes

Blew off my skirt.

I was freezing cold

And I slept in mold,

But I long for the shack where I lived.

She was true to me,

My old home of wood,

And when I passed out drunk from turpentine,

She understood.

Life was so sublime.

Mr. Largo:

Well, boo hoo, cuz I'm

Hanging ferns in the shack where you lived!

If I had your voice, I'd talk-sing everything!
