Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I am not letting you go to a rap concert

yes mam the rapper's but their white

rappers white Eddie we have been through

this before and the answer is always the

same but they're sort of Asian no but

he's a doctor

no you're always talking about the year

of a dog that's a stretch

no Eddie I just don't understand you the

music you listen to the way you talk

your clothes cutting the top button and

letting the rest flip out like a cape

that's called being a G mom what do you

want to be a letter that's only worth 2

points in Scrabble Q is better okay what

kind of stuff are you into you like the

Beastie Boys I prefer musicals Jack pull

story blink investments hanging with mr.

Cooper can't watch TV on Fridays because

of Shabbat hanging loose god

[Music]

stinky tofu gefilte fish

stinky tofu sounds repulsive we don't

like each other do we

I find your company undesirable Eddie

place on this petition mr. Hedgehog is

running for mayor eivin and i are

learning about the government in school

this week your Hedgehog is stupid you

made a powerful enemy today I wanted

addy to play the cello but he wanted to

play the beatbox instead Eddy stop stop

spitting - your hands here are some

money for souvenirs and snacks why do

you get to Philip no honey because I

trust him more so you know I'm going to

promote the blame on you not because I

want to but for legal purposes oh well I

got to the front of the merchandise line

and you weren't back but then I realized

I was thankful Shabbat was over I

thought that ended a midnight I'm a

devout Jew not Cinderella you were

supposed to go to the concert with me

yeah I didn't want to do that you just

left him Philip you should be ashamed of

yourself Eddie gave up going to his

concert to look for you and you broke

your promise to him you are very selfish

you are not a good Chinese boy Eddie is

nice mom now drop the mic and let's go

dropped my coat is my microphone mom

means you were awesome there she is oh

she's the one who keeps swooping in on

my listing do you mind not at all let me

get it it's just in my car yeah

which would be an easy shot from this

beautiful hand-carved double-door entry

oh I forgot my wallet you're at home

ever since I first laid eyes on Nicole I

knew she was my girl maybe she was out

of my league but look at Gina Jackson

and Jermaine Dupri if that ashy little

nugget could get it so could I not gonna

lie she's cute and she's older you're 11

license to sell houses did you know this

neighbors fish are your neighbors you

okay find some shared interests

something you both like you know to

break the ice is that what you did with

mom oh not right away we've develop our

shared interests over about nine months

you nasty you ever seen the crow it's

one of my favorite movies I don't need

to see it I've lived it but I know how

hard it is living in someone else's

shadow Marvin's first wife was 25 years

older than me 25 pounds heavier and is

addicted to prescription meds how are

really feel for her ma'am you can't do

those here you're gonna get scratch or

dust in the ketchup well I can't go

outside because my friend is the jogging

maniac she's all over the city let's see

what you have in your path you cute

little leprechaun nothing

there's flies making love in your hot

dog case Jessica I know you didn't take

the test

everything the only thing that woman

runs more than her legs is her mouth she

hey mom

Indian Elmer Fudd
