lyrics
I’d like to write a song about this cabinet up my ass
Got a cabinet
Up my ass
It’s got a joystick
I like to twiddle it fast
Every time
It gets the chance
It likes to swivel its wood
Into my pants
I tried to play Mrs. PacMan on this cabinet once
It didn’t let me ‘cause I don’t think it was on
But I still tried playing my hand
And I think I just wound up crazy instead
Powpow pow pow pow power pellets
(gobble’em up)
(gobble’em up)
Get your ghosts
(gobble’em up)
Turn them blue
(gobble’em up)
(gobble’em up)
Those of you old enough to remember
Atari 2600
Blocky graphics all the way
But we wanted to keep playing
I played Pit Hunter
And liked it
Pixels
I need five
To tell me who I am
So is that game in Breakout
Is that a ball
Or a little square?
I need pixels
To tell me who I am
Mario
Eats the yellow-orange mushroom
Mario
He grows
I wish I was Mario
So I could get high on mushrooms
And stomp on every turtle
That came across my room
One up is a green mushroom
One up is the green mushroom
I would run across the clouds
With the fish flying past my face
(Where do I put all these coins?)
And when they finally found me
I would be in first place
On the standings
I got some pills from his cousin
Dr. Mario
All he told me was
Don’t treat it like Tetris
I didn’t know what to do
So I took those pills
And I got messed up
More than I’d ever been
But then somebody
Put more pills down
And I finally got free of them
Tell me Dr. Mario,
What’ve I got?
You’ve got the clap
Tell me Dr. Mario,
What I got?
You’ve got the clap
You gotta a pill for that?
I gotta pill for that
Do I stack it in this bottle here?
No you take three a day
Got a cabinet
Up my ass
It’s got a joystick
I like to twiddle it fast
Every time
It gets the chance
It likes to swivel its wood
Into my pants
I tried to play Mrs. PacMan on this cabinet once
It didn’t let me ‘cause I don’t think it was on
But I still tried playing my hand
And I think I just wound up crazy instead
Powpow pow pow pow power pellets
(gobble’em up)
(gobble’em up)
Get your ghosts
(gobble’em up)
Turn them blue
(gobble’em up)
(gobble’em up)
