[Intro Ad-libs spoken by band members throughout]
Hey, what kinda crap is this?
I don't know. Kind of negative
I, I thought it was really gonna be different this time, it is
Ah, yeah, (Ha-ha-ha!)Yeh-hey, I don't know, man, we're dyin', we're dyin'
Hey, you got a point there, this is a fact
You've actually got three points there
Ah-ha, yep! Whaeeee!
Oh, yeah, hey, what they, where he'd get that clothes?
Outta your closet, (Ha-ha-ha) yeah, you mean, you mean my wife's closet
J.C. Penny, man, J.C. Penny...
[Chorus]
That's what's comin' down on the inside
Don't let this get around to the outside
[Verse]
Now, listen here
It's not what you are
You see, it's how you dress
'Cause that's one thing I've learned from these guys
I must confess
Now, me, look, I got this job not just being myself
Huh-uh
I went out, I bought some brand new shoes
Now I walk like someone else, hey!
Maybe I'm crazy or just too high
But all this can't be worth my
Piece of the pie
Sittin 'round, just gettin' high
Temporarily pacified
I guess less is more, ha-ha
Something special, gimme something new
Some brand new group to sink my teeth into
Sittin 'round, just getting high
Temporarily pacified
(Ha-ha-haaaaaaaaa!)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Don't touch me there, okay? Just don't do that, okay?)
(Oh, why?)
(Just pay my accountant)
[Chorus]
That's what's comin' down on the inside
(I don't know. I might be able to make it through. What the hey?)
Don't let this get around to the outside
Please, please, please
This ain't no party, this ain't no show
So don't you try to put no m-m-m-m-m-m-mojo -
That's what's comin' down
- On my butt, anyway, heh heh
[Guitar Solo]
...alimony, alimony...
[Chorus]
(Are you all right?)
That's what's comin' down
(Oh, man, I, I, I, I don't feel so good. I'm serious, man. I don't, I don't feel too good)
On the inside
(Hey, let's blow it out here now, man, all right?)
Don't let this get around to the outside
(Eddie! Can't you read lips?) (Hey, hey, hey)
(I came into this thing with an open mind)
(Mike! Mike! What was that shit you gave me last night?)
That's what's comin' down
(Ah, man)(Ha, ha-ha!)
On the inside
(Get out! Operator calling. Get out! Operator!)
Don't let this get around to the outside
(Ah, ha-ha!)
That's what's comin' down
(Okay)(Hello? Hello?)
On the inside
(This is the operator)
(Hey, Sammy, I found a hat and a pair of shoes. Are they yours?)
Don't let this get around to the outside
That's what's comin' down
On the inside
Don't let this get around
(Hey! Somebody get me a cheeseburger!)
To the outside
(Hey, is Greg back yet?)
(Alimony! Alimony! Alimony! Alimony! Alimony! Alimony!)
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!)
That's what's comin' down
On the inside
Don't let this get around
(Ahh! Ahhhhh!)
(Yeow! Yeah!)
To the outside
