We’re Knights of the Round Table.  
We dance whene’er we’re able.  
We do routines and chorus scenes  
With footwork impeccable.  
We dine well here in Camelot.  
We eat ham and jam and spam a lot.

Every sperm is sacred  
Every sperm is great  
If a sperm gets wasted  
God gets quite irate

My Bologna has a first name,  
It’s O-S-C-A-R.  
My bologna has a second name,  
It’s M-A-Y-E-R.  
Oh I love to eat it everyday,  
And if you ask me why I’ll say,  
Cause’ Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A

She’s got a way about her  
I don’t know what it is  
But I know that I can’t live without her  
She’s got a way of pleasin’  
I don’t know what it is  
But there doesn’t have to be a reason anyway

If I listened long enough to you  
I’d find a way to believe that it’s all true  
Knowing that you lied, straight-faced, while I cried  
Still I’d look to find a reason to believe  
Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else  
Someone like you makes it easy to give, never think of myself

Got no feel, I got no rhythm  
I just keep losing my beat  
I’m ok, I’m alright  
Ain’t gonna face no defeat  
I just gotta get out of this prison cell  
Someday I’m gonna be free, Lord!  
Somebody…  
Somebody…  
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Find me somebody to love… find me somebody to love…  
Find me somebody to love… find me somebody to love…  
Find me somebody to love… find me somebody to love…  
Find me somebody to love… find me somebody to love…  
Find me somebody to love… find me somebody to love…

Somebody (somebody)  
Somebody (somebody)  
Somebody (find me)  
Somebody (find me somebody to love)  
Can anybody find me,  
Somebody to-o-o lo-o-o-ve?

Oh, won’t you take me home tonight?  
Oh, down beside your red firelight  
Ah, can you give it all you got?  
Fat bottomed girls, you make the rockin’ world go round.

I’m not in love, so don’t forget it  
It’s just a silly phase I’m goin’ through  
And just because I call you up  
Don’t get me wrong, don’t think you got it made  
I’m not in love, no, no…it’s because

That’s right (that’s right) you ain’t gonna see me cryin’  
I’m glad (I’m glad) that you found somebody new  
'Cause I’d rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass  
Than spend one more minute with you

You were the sweetest thing that I ever knew  
But I don’t care for sugar honey if I can’t have you  
Since you’ve abandoned me  
My whole life has crashed  
Won’t you pick the pieces up  
'cause it feels just like I’m walking on broken glass

It’s a Saturday’s Night at the World,  
I am thinking about a girl,  
And how useless to search it becomes  
When you find all the answers in one.

One day i looked up and there you were  
Like a simple question looking for an answer  
Now i am a whale listening to some inner call  
Swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shores  
What if i don’t find when i have landed  
Would you leave me here to die on your shores stranded?  
I think i know why the dog howls at the moon.

No point asking when it is  
No point asking who’s to go  
No point asking what’s the game  
No point asking who’s to blame

'Cos if you’re gonna die (if you’re gonna die)  
'Cos if you’re gonna die (if you’re gonna die)  
If you’re gonna die (if you’re gonna die)  
If you’re gonna die (if you’re gonna die)

If you’re gonna die, die with your boots on  
If you’re gonna try, well stick around  
Gonna cry, just move along  
If you’re gonna die, you’re gonna die

We’re all excited  
But we don’t know why  
Maybe it’s 'cause  
We’re all gonna die

And when we do (When we do)  
What’s it all for (What’s it all for)  
You better live now  
Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door

Tell me, are we gonna let the elevator bring us down  
Oh, no let’s go!

Let’s go crazy  
Let’s get nuts  
Look for the purple banana  
'Til they put us in the truck, let’s go!

As he rode his last ride down.  
And he sideswiped nineteen neat parked cars,  
Clipped off thirteen telephone poles,  
Hit two houses, bruised eight trees,  
And Blue-Crossed seven people.  
It was then he lost his head,  
Not to mention an arm or two before he stopped.  
And he smeared for four hundred yards  
Along the hill that leads into Scranton, Pennsylvania.  
All those thirty thousand pounds of bananas.

Shake, shake, shake, senora, shake your body line  
Shake, shake, shake, senora, shake it all the time  
Work, work, work, senora, work your body line  
Work, work, work, senora, work it all the time

My girl’s name is Senora  
I tell you friends, I adore her  
And when she dances, oh brother  
She’s a hurricane in all kinds of weather
