I just genuinely like Marvin Martian
I just genuinely like Danger Mouse
Spend hours on end in my bedroom
Like a dame in the nuthouse
I just genuinely like to go ape skin
Caddywhompus and the like
Romp around this place
Out of the gates like a track star
With a nail in his brain
Footsteps out in the hall
My heart like an anvil will fall
I just genuinely like penguins!
Thus, we waddle round the arctic arm-in-arm
Stay tucked away in my igloo
While the wolves tear you apart
Footsteps out in the hall
My heart like an anvil will fall
Footsteps closing in fast
This episode will be the last
Up and at’em boy
The sun is rolling out today
Brave the open air, make mama proud to say
Up and at’am boy
No son of mine’ll waste away
With his eyes glued to that looney tube all day

That boy ain’t right
He’s way too up-tight
Spends all of his time
With that tree
He’s awfully shy
Spends all day and night
Alone in a world
We can’t see
So often inclined
To get left behind
Lost with the vines and leaves
He’s awfully kind
A bit off at times
And different
Whatever that means
