(This is the greatest and best song in the world)
(Tribute)
Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here
We was hitchhiking down a long and lonesome road
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon
In the middle of the road, and he said
Play the best song in the world
Or I'll eat your souls
Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other
And we each said: Okay
And we played the first thing that came to our heads
Just so happened to be
The best song in the world
It was the best song in the world
Look into my eyes
And it's easy to see
One and one make two
Two and one make three
It was destiny
Once every hundred-thousand years or so
When the Sun doth shine
And the Moon doth glow
And the grass doth grow
Needless to say, the beast was stunned
Whip-crack went his whoopy tail
And the beast was done
He asked us: Be you angels?
And we said: Nay, we are but men
Rock
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh
Ah, oh, oh
This is not the greatest song in the world, no
This is just a tribute
Couldn't remember the greatest song in the world, yeah
No, this is a tribute, oh
To the greatest song in the world, alright
It was the greatest song in the world, alright
It was the best motherfucking song
The greatest song in the world
Ah-rah, dee
Soo-guh-goo-gee-goo-gee
Goo-guh fli-goo gee-goo
Guh fli-goo, ga-goo-buh-dee
Ooh, guh-goo-bee
Ooh-guh-guh-bee-guh-guh-bee
Fli-goo gee-goo
A-fliguh woo-wa mama Lucifer
And the peculiar thing is this, my friends
The song we sang on that fateful night
It didn't actually sound anything like this song
This is just a tribute, you've gotta believe me
And I wish you were there just a matter of opinion
Ah, fuck, good God, gotta love it
So surprised to find you can't stop it
A fiery ring of fire, rich motherfucker, aw
Alright, alright
