Thing-fish: Welcome to the quentin robert de nameland video chapel of economic worship!
Ensemble: (singing) Some take the bible For what it's worth When it says that the meek Shall inherit the earth Well, I heard that some sheik Has bought new jersey last week 'N you suckers ain't gettin' doodly!
Is all de mammys really wrong If we's wandrin' aroun' Wit' de nakkin on? Big ol' lips like a duck While we's singin' dis song (Evil prince, people, he cain't do nothin'!)
Thing-fish: You say yo' life a 'bum deal' 'N yo' 'up against de wall'? Well, people, you ain't got no kinda 'Deal' at all!
Now de shit dey be doin' Down in washingtum
Ensemble: Dey just takes care
Thing-fish: Dey takin' care
Ensemble: Of number one
Thing-fish: O' 'number one'
Ensemble: An' 'number one' ain't you!
Thing-fish: Oh no! it ain't you or you!
Ensemble: You ain't even 'number two'!
Thing-fish: (Push de button, pull dat chain Out come dat lil' brown Choo-choo train!)
Ensemble: Those jesus-freaks Well, they're friendly, but The shit they believe Has got their minds all shut
An' they don't even care When 'the church' takes a 'cut'! (Ain't it bleak when you've got so much nothin'?)
Thing-fish: So whaddya do?
Ensemble: Eat that pork! Eat that ham! Laugh till ya choke On billy graham! Brown moses, aaron, 'n abraham: They're all a waste of time 'N it's your ass that's on the line!
Thing-fish: Wohhhhhh, heah me talkin' to ya, now It's your ass that's on the line!
Ensemble: Do what you wanna
Thing-fish: Ohh! do what ya wanna!
Ensemble: Do what you will
Thing-fish: Do what you will!
Ensemble: Just don't mess up
Thing-fish: Don't mess it!
Ensemble: Your neighbor's thrill
Thing-fish: Dat's right!
Ensemble: 'N when you pay the bill
Thing-fish: Aww, when y'pay de bill..
Ensemble: Kindly leave a little tip
Thing-fish: One-adam-twelve..
Ensemble: And help the next poor sucker
Thing-fish: See de sucker..
Ensemble: On his one way trip! (Some take the bible!)
Thing-fish: Aw, gimme a half a duzzning fo' de hotel ruim!
