Lyrics
- 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!!!
