This Is a Butt
Hey dummy call me
when you get a chance
exciting news um don’t call
I’m not feeling well
stomachache and
all that nasty stuff
but I had a chicken sandwich
or something anyway I’ll talk
to you so you’ll call me
if you do this is a butt bye

Urine Cage Song
Hey little sister thank you
between marathons if you
just thought I should Larry
well I was there I stood up
at the law start for the platypus
everybody says it was the stare
call so I hope you’re having
a good day today lots of extra
farting around the tables especially
her if you come across town
grab a refund for me and
I’m going to keep your urine cage
song forever love you bye
