LYRICS
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bone, ba-ba-ba-ba-bone
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bone, ba-ba-ba-ba-bone

Your china is made out of people

See I was walking in the dark minding my own
When I tripped and landed hard on my thigh bone
I groped for the culprit to find a
Pile of junk and a cool bit of china
I thought it'd do great in the garage market
But now it's donated to the prize closet
For the millennials, it’s a sure hit
They probably believe they deserve it

That porcelain that serves up your tasty meal
It's the skeleton of a clubbed baby seal
Maybe a panda or puppy or your best pet
Or any other animal that can’t get wet
Baked into the tray for when you will dine
So if you ever need a plate, then it’s kiln’ time
But the dishes that are the choicest
Are the bone china made out of soylent

Your china is made out of people
Your china is made out of people

A parody of "People Everyday" by Arrested Development

    Love the source material and love this version. I have that whole album memorized and have had an Arrested D song on my list for a LONG time but haven't worked anything out yet. Nice job working this one out! So great!
