Lyrics & Translation

[English]

at the hotdog stand in the Denver train

station Heinz ketchup and the hotdog

stand the Salt Lake City train station

Heinz ketchup in the Indianapolis train

station I don't care

wrong hunts hey Amy what do you say you

ready to move on to the mustard round

have you not noticed that I've been

sitting back here quietly stewing for

the past two hours I just thought you

were bad at the game I'm mad at you how

could you just go away like that without

even saying goodbye and then call

Leonard for help instead of me Amy may I

please have a moment of privacy to speak

with my roommate we're in a moving car

what do you expect me to do stick my

fingers in my ears the obvious thinking

put your head out the window like a dog

but that'll work please this will be

quick

Leonard as soon as we get home I want to

have coitus with Amy

okay she can't hear

the reason I called you is because I

didn't want Amy to know I couldn't make

it on my own it's the big deal of course

it's no big deal to you you idolize me

and nothing could ever knock me off that

pedestal you put me on it's true you you

are a god to me can I stop now just tell

her I called Leonard because I failed

and I didn't want you to think less of

me you were worried about that yes

Sheldon it's okay with me that you're

not perfect

can I have one more moment with Leonard

sure Amy just hurt my feelings I want to

break up with her
