lyrics

Hey Oscar run down to the store
I have this craving for bacon grease
don’t get Sizzlean or gasoline on the way
I need you to spend the rest of your money
on beef jerky hot ‘n spicy
or maybe some Jawbreakers
I’m as hungry as a fatboy on a farm
I’ll take the Grand Slam with the chinch bugs
pass the maple syrup
the kings of Persia never ate like this
it all looks so good I just can’t decide
I lied I’m not hungry afterall
let’s torch the mall
and watch the children running out ha...
Oscar you know with any luck
we’ll get the car keys and
well I’m feeling kinda dizzy
maybe I should lie down and
tell you about the rest of my life
I really hate being the bionic man
you know I always wanted to
work for the government like you
and wear those cool glasses
but life’s a bitch

She’s breakin’ up
she’s breakin’ up
oscar where are you?

She’s breakin’ up
she’s breakin’ up
oscar what do i do?
