Lyrics

Homer:

One opinionated man,

Doesn't stand a chance.

Against an army of tweens.

Echo:

Damn tweens.

Homer:

It's like trying to fight an angry hill of ants,

Flying on the backs,

Of killer bees.

Echo:

Killer bees.

Homer:

I don't change,

My shorts no more.

Glitter bombs inside my,

Undie drawer.

Echo:

Undie drawer.

Homer:

The word "family" has a bitter ring.

Echo:

Bitter ring.

Homer:

It's my family who's been,

Glittering.

Echo:

Glittering.

Homer:

It's my family.

Breakfast and betrayal.

Pancakes bitter in my mouth, yet I ate seven.

You sent an army against those who are me.

You three took.

Three-took, the opposite of for-give.

Yet, I forgive.

Marge.

Echo:

You brought joy and dinner to my life.

You're still a Fudgie Whale of a wife.

Even when I do things wrong.

Homer:

I wrong do things!

Echo:

Like pass out on the lawn at crack of dawn.

Homer:

Bart.

Echo:

This verse goes out to Bartholomew.

Homer:

Why, you little...!

Echo:

When I smell mothballs,

Now I think beef stew.

Why, you little... You!

You're kind of cool, stay in school.

Homer:

Lisa.

Echo:

You don't suffer fools or eat baloney.

Homer:

Mmm, baloney.

Echo:

Just jamming on your brass saxo-ma-phony.

You're my little lampshade girl.

In white pearls, you're my world.

'Cause we,

Me, you three and Maggie.

Can bring this war down.

Homer:

Can bring this war down.

Echo:

Can bring this war down, we, me.

You three and Maggie,

Will be okay now.

Homer:

Will be okay now.

Echo:

We going to be okay now, if we,

Me, you three and Maggie,

Just stick together.

Homer:

If we just,

If we just stick together.

Echo:

We, me,

You three and Maggie could stop,

A meltdown.

Homer:

To stop this war, we don't need a grand gesture.

We don't need to make a stand.

We just need to sit down together.

Behind the Laughter

The line "When I smell mothballs, now I think beef stew." is a reference to the song "Do the Bartman", which has the lyric "Because I put moth balls in the beef stew." The line "You're still a Fudgie Whale of a wife." is a reference to "A Milhouse Divided", where Homer got Marge a cake in the shape of a whale that had the text "To a whale of a wife" written on it.
