Pattycake

[Verse 1]
So they sucked the life out of you
So now what the hell do you do?
Yeah, so your train went off of its track
Back when Michael Jackson was black

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Whatcha gonna prove?
How you gonna prove it?
There's no need to waste your life
Shatter and abuse it, babe
I'm talking 'bout a time
When a dime bag was a dime
No need to dwell upon the here and now, baby

[Chorus]
Let's pretend
It's 1978, we're playing pattycake and baker's men
Let's pretend
The popsicles we ate all gave us stomachaches on our neighbor's lawn

[Verse 2]
So you called the chief of police (this is the pig, this is the pig)
And told him what to do
Called the zoo and the justice of peace
And told them what to do

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sold your house alone
Told your boss to screw it
Bought a time machine
Grabbed the wheel and do it, baby
Back unto a time
When a dime bag was a dime
No need to spend another moment here, baby

[Chorus]
Let's pretend
It's 1978, we're playing pattycake and baker's men
Let's pretend
The popsicles we ate all gave us stomachaches on our neighbor's lawn

[Bridge]
Hello operator, please give me number nine
And if you disconnect me, I'll kick your fat-
Behind the refrigerator, there was a piece of glass
Miss Suzy sat upon it and broke her little-
Ask me no more questions, I'll tell you no more lies
The boys are in the bathroom, they're zipping up their-
Flies are in the city and bee stings are our crutch
The boys and girls are necking and asking you just

[Pre-Chorus 1]
What ya gonna prove
How you gonna prove it?
There's no need to waste your life
Shatter and abuse it, babe
I'm talking 'bout a time
When a dime bag was a dime
No need to dwell upon the here and now, baby

[Chorus]
Let's pretend
It's 1978, we're playing pattycake and baker's men
Let's pretend
The popsicles we ate all gave us stomachaches on our neighbor's lawn
Let's pretend
It's 1978, we're playing pattycake and baker's men
Let's pretend
The popsicles we ate all gave us stomachaches on our neighbor's lawn
It's 1978, we're playing pattycake and baker's men
The popsicles we ate all gave us...
