It'll taste like plastic, but it'll be faster
Ha, sing it
Men without ties don't dress for dinner
Do the Friday night frozen pizza thing
Well I don't want no wife or no beginner
You're the Friday night frozen pizza king
Men without ties, it's about time
Men without ties don't dress for dinner
Do the Friday night frozen pizza thing
Well I don't want no wife or no beginner
You're the Friday night frozen pizza king
Men without ties don't dress for dinner
Men without ties don't need a thing
Don't want no wife, show to cut by
Men without ties, men without ties
Men without ties, men without ties
Men without ties, men without ties
Men without ties, men without ties
