[Verse 1]
I never seem to finish all my food
I always get a doggie bag from the waiter
So I just keep what's still unchewed
And I take it home, save it for later
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But then I deal with fungal rot, bacterial formation
Microbes, enzymes, mold, and oxidation
I don't care; I've got a secret trick up my sleeve
I never bother with baggies, glass jars, Tupperware containers
Plastic cling wrap, really a no-brainer
I just like to keep all my flavors sealed in tight
[Chorus]
With aluminum foil (Foil)
Never settle for less
That kind of wrap is just the best
To keep your sandwich nice and fresh
Stick it in your cooler (Cooler)
Eat it when you're ready
But maybe you'll choose (You'll choose, you'll choose, you'll choose)
A refreshing herbal tea
Mmm, lovely!
[Verse 2]
Oh, by the way, I've cracked the code
I've figured out these shadow organizations
And the Illuminati know
That they're finally primed for world domination
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And soon you've got black helicopters comin' cross the border
Puppet masters for the New World Order
Be aware, there's always someone that's watching you
And still, the government won't admit they faked the whole moon landing
Thought-control rays, psychotronic scanning
Don't mind that, I'm protected 'cause I made this hat
[Chorus]
From aluminum foil (foil)
Wear a hat that's foil lined
In case an alien's inclined
To probe your butt or read your mind
Looks a bit peculiar ('culiar)
Seems a little crazy
But someday I'll prove (I'll prove, I'll prove, I'll prove)
There's a big conspiracy
Foil was written by Lorde & Joel Little & “Weird Al” Yankovic.
Foil was produced by “Weird Al” Yankovic.
“Weird Al” Yankovic released Foil on Tue Jul 15 2014.
He asked ages ago if he could do it and I was like ‘PLEASE! Please, can you do something with 'Royals.’ I was listening to ‘Weird Al’ parodies when I was like 10 — especially that one that he did of ‘Confessions’ by Usher."
