Lyrics

Lisa:

(sighs) All right, let's just try one more lesson. Repeat after me: "What flows from the nose does not go on the clothes."

Groundskeeper Willie:

"Wot flohs frum me nose..." Dah! Is no use! Ahm not viry cultured! Ah don't even have a last name!

Bart:

Care to concede that bet?

Lisa:

No. Come on, Willie! I believe in you!

Groundskeeper Willie:

What flows from the nose does not go on my clothes.

Lisa:

Say it again!

Groundskeeper Willie:

What flows from the nose

Does not go on my clothes!

Lisa:

I think he's got it!

Oh yes, he's got it!

Groundskeeper Willie:

What flows from the nose

Does not go on my clothes!

Lisa:

Where is that ghastly flow?

Groundskeeper Willie:

The nose! The nose!

Lisa:

And where should it not go?

Homer:

Blue pants! Blue pants!

Lisa:

Dad! Get your own song!

Homer:

Fine.

I'm gettin' blue pants in the morning!

Ding-dong, the zipper's gonna shine!
