Lyrics

It's a good thing we get paid to do this I could be at home getting reamed Or listening to my new Elton John album Oh, man, don't even talk about getting reamed I've been without female companionship for so long Monday, for instance You know why you don't get laid Nobody wants to fuck a comedian You should be careful talking about that stuff Why? Does he listen? He always listens He always watches and listens to all the guys in the band I been in the band for years, and I know he always listens That's how he gets all his material He listens to us being natural, friendly Good-natured, humorous And then he rips us off And he sneaks off into a secret room some place And boils it in ammonia and he gets it perverted And then he brings it back to us at a rehearsal and makes us play it Hey, man, what's that over there? It's him, it's him, he's watching You think he heard us? I been in the band for years You can bet that he heard everything Yeah, let's go over and pretend to be nice to him Yeah, let's go over and pretend we don't know he's watching Yeah, and ripping off our good material Hi, man Hi, Frank Hi, man Hi, Frank Hi, man Hey, Frank Hey, that's a great new song you wrote You know the one about the penis and everything? I was laughing a lot the whole time I was learning it Yeah, we were all laughing, Frank Yeah? Well, fine Yeah, it took a little while to get into it, man, but once we got the drift Yeah, lots of great parts you got in there for the chorus You know when they go, "Ran-tan, ran-tan, na-na-hamninn" "I Steal the Room" and everything, you know I don't even mind you ripping it off me just as long as I get paid Oh, and I don't even mind the part where he says "What can I say about this fabulous elixir?" So long as me and Howard and Jeff Simmons Who left the group just before the movie started Get credit for special material
