Lyrics

Groundskeeper Willie:

All I want,

Is a place sumwhere.

[pause]

Lisa:

Annnnnd?

Groundskeeper Willie:

That's it.

Bart:

Maybe you could aim a little higher.

Groundskeeper Willie:

Well, let's see.

Oh, to have me shack rebuilt,

Get my rotten teeth all dril't,

Something on underneath me kilt.

Oh, wouldn't it be adequate?

Matching shoes for both me feet,

Dining on untainted meat,

A toilet what still has its seat.

Homer:

Oh, wouldn't it be adequate?

Lisa and Bart:

Adequate.

Adequate.

Groundskeeper Willie:

Oh, wouldn't it be adequate?
