Could you turn my headphones? Turn up my head or
I'm the only one in here, so, I'm gonna turn up my own headphones
For myself, thank you, you're welcome
Tryna make microwave popcorn
In a microwave
I am on that wave
I am on that wave
Tryna make microwave popcorn
I take the packet out the plastic (takin' out the plastic, brrt)
Reading the directions on the back of the package (ooh)
Orville redenbacher, you're a savage (you a savage)
So let's get crackin' (tryna make microwave, ayy)
I put the packet on the glass (what glass?)
The little glass dish in the microwave (got it)
I close the door (which door?)
The door to the microwave! What is wrong with you?!
You follow all the rules when you're a studious guy (step one)
Insert the packet, set the power to high
Cook for one and a half minutes to two and a half minutes (mm, kind of a wide range)
Tryna make microwave popcorn (bippity bippity bop)
In a microwave (brrt)
I am on that wave
I am on that wave
Tryna make microwave popcorn
The popcorn's done (thank God!)
I open up the door, I take it out
Ooh, ah, chhh, goddamn, that's hot (super hot!)
Makes sense (I burnt my fingies)
I open up the packet (the packet)
It smells smoky and the kernels are black, shit (no!)
I burned it (no!), I burned it (for real?)
Yes, for real-- do you think you're helping by saying all this? (tryna make microwave)
I'm givin' up (I'm done cookin' popcorn)
I'ma eat a bag of skinny pop (it's already popped!)
I look back at the microwave, wait a minute
How'd I miss this button? There's a button and the button says
Popcorn (oh, no!)
On the microwave (there was a button that said popcorn?!)
I am on that wave
I am on that wave (I shoulda hit that button) (brrt)
Tryna make microwave popcorn (tryna, make, micro, wave) (bippity, bippity bop) (jiffy pop)
In a microwave (guys, stop) (tryna, make, micro, wave) (agh, got a kernel in my throat, aghhh) (brrt)
I am on that wave (guys, get off--) (tryna, make, micro, wave) (brrt, brrt)
I am on that wave (everyone's talking at the same time; can everyone just shut— shut— shut up!) (Christmas ornaments) (movie theater butter)
Tryna make microwave popcorn
