Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Uh oh, we got customers.

Gene, put an out-of-order sign on the door.

On it! Wait, what should it say?

"Out of order - Dad stuck on toilet"

No.

What about "Out of order - Toilet cursed with evil"

Kids, just- stop drawing attention to the door. Go help your mother.

Hi Linda, I'm ready to make Bob pretty.

I brought my scissors and my tweezers...

Oh, oh, hi Gretchen!

Gretchen's here, Bob. She's gonna get you camera ready.

Kids, go wait on the other customers.

Everything's gonna be OK.

Everything's gonna be OK.

Bad stuff happens in the bathroom

I'm just glad that it happens in a vacuum

Can't let them see me with my pants down

Coasters Magazine is gonna be my big chance now

But I'll be outta here in no time

I'll be doing interviews and feeling just fine

Today is gonna be a great day.

I'll do Coasters Magazine and blow everyone away

Let's be clear, I did absolutely nothing wrong

I'm not to blame, it's not my fault

This is just to say, if,

Gene had pooped like every day this would've all just blown away

But he'll be outta there in no time

No-ones gonna blame me, I'll be doing just fine

Today is gonna be a great day

If Teddy can't unstick my dad I'll find another way

Hey, where's Bob?

I wanna tell him I can smell him from across the street.

Yeah, Linda, where is Bob? I gotta do his hair for his big interview.

Interview? What interview?

Bob's got a big magazine interview.

What? Are they writing an article about

Guys with mustaches you wanna punch? ZOOM!

I say "Zoom" now, you like it.

Eh, it's OK.

(Duet)

Bad stuff happens in the bathroom (Let's be clear)

I'm just glad that it happens in a vacuum (I did

Absolutely nothing wrong, I'm not to blame, it's not my fault)

Can't let them see me with my pants down (This is just to say)

Coasters Magazine is gonna be my big chance now (If Gene

Had pooped like every day this would've all just blown away)

But I'll be outta here in no time

I'll be doing interviews and feeling just fine

Today is gonna be a great day

I'll do Coasters Magazine and blow everyone away
