Lyrics & Translation

This track, the centerpiece of a classic *Bob's Burgers* episode, is a masterclass in using musical parody—specifically, a yacht-rock ballad—to deliver a truly ridiculous and surprisingly touching message about a character's most private habits. Learning the lyrics will introduce you to unique American cultural references and the show’s distinctive, scatological yet sweet, vocabulary.
