Lyrics

Episode version

Who controls the British crown?

Who keeps the metric system down?

We do, we do!

Who keeps Atlantis off the maps?

Who keeps the Martians under wraps?

We do, we do!

Who holds back the electric car?

Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?

We do, we do!

Who robs cavefish of their sight?

Who rigs every Oscar night?

We do!

We do!!!

Album version

Marge:

Homer, a man who called himself "You-Know-Who" just invited you to a secret "Wink-Wink" at the "You-Know-What." You certainly are popular now that you're a Stonecutter.

Homer:

Oh, yes. Beer busts, beer blasts, keggers, stein hoists, AA meetings, beer night. It's wonderful, Marge! I've never felt so accepted in all my life! These people look deep within my soul and assign me a number based on the order in which I joined.

Stonecutters:

Who controls the British crown?

Who keeps the metric system down?

We do, we do!

Who keeps Atlantis off the maps?

Who keeps the Martians under wraps?

We do, we do!

Who holds back the electric car?

Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?

We do, we do!

Who robs cavefish of their sight?

Who rigs every Oscar night?

We do!

We do!!!

Behind the Laughter

The music was composed by Alf Clausen and the lyrics by John Swartzwelder. The song was initially not included in the original script of the episode and was suggested by Matt Groening. It was written by the writer's room, who threw in as many things that annoyed them as they possibly could. It is praised as one of the best musical numbers and included in the episode "All Singing, All Dancing". It's the second track on the album Songs in the Key of Springfield. It was nominated for a 1995 Primetime Emmy award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Music and Lyrics. It lost to the song "Ordinary Miracles" from the TV special "Barbra Streisand: The Concert."
