Lyrics:
Put those sunglasses on your hips, mayonaisse on your lips
Pass me a bag of potato chips when I wanna put my money on a monkey
Give it to me, don't give it to me, give it to me, don't give it to me
Your idea, maybe I'll see ya, maybe I will, maybe I won't

Give me a cold sore when you're young, get old fast when you sag in the sun
Put a coffin lid on everyone, so you can be depressed
Give it to me, don't give it to me, give it to me, don't give it to me
Your idea, maybe I'll see ya, maybe I will, maybe I won't
Your love, your kindness, your body on the mattress

She's got braids and broken arms, Top Ramen cooking in the burning barns
Talking at me like car alarms when all the cars got stolen
Give it to me, don't give it to me, give it to me, don't give it to me
Your idea, maybe I'll see ya, maybe I will, maybe I won't

Take me out to dinner, I'm a loser, I'm a winner
I'm a sucker, I'm a sinner, won't you take me out to dinner?
Take me out to dinner, I'm a loser, I'm a winner
I'm a sucker, I'm a sinner, won't you take me out to dinner?
Your love, your kindness, your body on the mattress
