Lyrics
Take Out The Trash
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is an epic story of romance,
Love, and family pride, an exhilarating ride
Looking so idle standing there
Don′t worry I know you could never care
Man of the world been everywhere
Get your hind parts in the pantry there
Powerful extraordinary
Witty and eloquent
I know you couldn′t give a shent
This order that is heaven sent
Take, take, take out the trash
Take out that nasty sour mash
Watch out it′ll give you a rash
Take out the trash
You′re such a big-shot wannabee
Preening around for all to see
I know you′re special and very clean
But you got to take out the gangrene
Absorbing and explosive
Languorous and listless
Compelling and emotive
Expansive and explosive
Take, take, take out the trash
Take out that nasty sour mash
Take out the funky gravy hash
Take out the trash
Watch it better hide your stash
Here′s a chance to make a splash
Take out the trash
Powerful, extraordinary
Witty and eloquent
Absorbing and emotive
Expansive and explosive
Take, take, take out the trash
Take out that nasty sour mash
Take out the funky gravy hash
Take out the trash
Watch it better hide your stash
You′re so cocky and brash
Take out the trash
Got your stinky finger
Want to smell your finger
Wallowing in the funk
Wallowing in the stank
With your friend Hank
