- support for a hospitalized buddy
A FRIEND LIKE ME
I knew that they’d kill you, those cafeteria fish sticks
I told ya, “Don’t eat 'em!..They’re like paper mache!”
But you never listen, and your guts glued together
Then the ambulance came, and took you away
So I brought you some homework, I dropped the rest in a
puddle
But I got some fake vomit...that I bought at the store
Go ahead, you can use it...to fool all the nurses
Just wet it and leave it...by your bed on the floor!
Y’need a friend like me, t’help ya out when things go wrong
Y’need a friend like me, just like me!
Y’need a friend like me, t’sing you a happy song
Y’need a friend like me, just like me!
Sally said that your lips got...stuck on that fountain
While drinking some water...by the Principal’s door
You got bigger and bigger...and you fin’ly exploded
And you splattered the hallways...and the bulletin boards!
And then Mr. Wojack...our fav’rite custodian
Had to scrape you and mop you...off the walls and the floor
So I came with a bag...to pick up your organs
Awww, think nothing of it...hey, what’re friends for?!
Chorus
Remember your little finger...got plugged in the sharpener
The one that mashes our pencils..the one that kills and destroys
Remember Tommy McPherson...he kept cranking the handle
Sucked you in to your elbow...he loves to play with war toys
So you screamed for the teacher...but she was grading some papers
And without even looking...she said “STOP MAKING NOISE!”
By the time I rushed over...you were nothing but shavings
And Tommy was smiling...I guess boys’ll be boys!
