Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Nice Shot thank

you my father taught me archery as a

child it's odd how the activity brings

back the smell of Kmart

bourbon perfect I

know what an elf I would have

made woo what do you think you're doing

shooting at a Target with what an arrow

really I didn't see you draw one from

your

quiver I'm not going to do that Sheldon

Leonard the people at Nintendo can only

go so far in helping us recreate an

actual athletic

experience we have to do our part

to that was uncalled for but I'll play

along ow

[Music]

I had an unusual experience with Amy

last night really how could you

tell she was attempting to engage me in

Gossip you don't say yes I think

prolonged exposure to penny has turned

her into a bit of a gabby

Gertie so what's the gossip oh please I

was just pointing it out I have no

desire to engage in the activity fine

don't tell

me all right get

this bernardet is thinking about

breaking up with Howard oh that's too

bad I wonder what happened it's hard to

say I can only speculate based on the

data I collected watching my parents

marriage implode in that case the woman

dives into religion well the man dives

into a bottle blonde bartender who tries

to buy my love with action

figures oh out of arrows

well you sure get your money's worth out

of these games
