Lyrics

Bubes is your friend
Perhaps your only friend
But there are Hewlett High school friends
But really are they actually your friends, do you know?

Orange yacker on the TV and the podcast
Why do we download you!
Put a little effort in your show
Littles are attuned to your antics
All of your foibles idiosyncratic
Put a little effort in your show

Another movie to see, shown at Mazza Gallerie
It’s the same old story by the last act he’s already asleep
I hear he’s snacking again, and calling Jeannie a hen
Still more self-indulgent groans and countless pointless arguments!
His insights all repeat, like a warped and scratched LP it never ends

Orange yacker now incapable of typing
Wish we were done with you!
Still I keep downloading your show
Littles are attuned to your antics
How the Purple Line puts you in a panic!
How does all this constitute a show?

My thanks to Rob for reminding me how funny They Might Be Giants are - they did this one first!

    I like the "How does all this constitute a show?" Rhyming repeat with LP - that line is great.

    My favorite TMBG songs. "Put a little effort in your show" is just plain brilliant.
