Lyrics
- Cory:
- So what do you guys do when you're not camp counselors?
- Kurt:
- We're highly successful artists. And as artists we live in Springfield's most artistic borough.
- Ethan:
- Sprooklyn.
- Campers:
- Wow.
- Kurt:
- We spend our days acting and painting.
- Ethan:
- Dancing and sculpting.
- Kurt:
- Playing my Gibson.
- Ethan:
- Rehearsing my Ibsen.
- Kurt:
- Because you see, young artists...
- Ethan:
- Artists are the people who hold up a mirror.
- Kurt:
- Artists make society see its faults clearer.
- Posh Man:
- Ha ha ha.
- Kurt:
- Artists help step out...
- Kurt and Ethan:
- Oppression of wars.
- Ethan:
- And when we camp outdoors...
- Ethan and Kurt:
- Make the best s'mores!
- Kurt:
- Three layers, Mother Nature!
- Ethan:
- Mmmm, mmm...
- Kurt:
- Yeh, yeh!
- Kurt and Ethan:
- Artists end poverty with music and dance.
- Artists make art on the beaches of France.
- Lisa:
- I never knew artists were all so amazing!
- Kurt:
- Excuse me while I talk to this cow that is grazing.
- I give art
- Like you give milk.
- Grazing Cow:
- Mooo.
- [subtitle: But they can't bottle your genius.]
- Ethan:
- Everyone listens when artists are talking.
- Kurt:
- 'Cause artists are smarter than Mr. Stephen Hawking.
- Stephen Hawking:
- Oh, yeah. Break it down for me fellas.
- [Hawking scratches a record, while Ethan and Kurt breakdance]
- Stephen Hawking:
- A Brief History of Rhyme.
- Lisa:
- Do you think I can be an artist in the city?
- Ethan:
- Hold on, Lisa, let me check with the committee.
- [to Kurt, the cow, and Hawking] So what do you guys think?
- Stephen Hawking:
- Yes.
- Grazing Cow:
- Moo.
- Kurt:
- I agree.
- Ethan and Kurt:
- Yes, Lisa, you can be an artist in the world.
- So move to the city when you're less itty-bitty, girl.
- To the gritty city when you're less itty-bitty, girl!
- The city's pretty gritty for an itty-bitty pretty girl!
