A Gnome man turned and he ate.
You're the lottery,
That he'd buy the next day.
An old man turned ninety-eight.
He won the lottery,
and then died the next day.
A death from boredom, 2 minutes too late
A death row pardon, 2 minutes too late
A death row hard-on
Two minutes too late.
A death row pardon
Two minutes too late.
A death-row hard-on, two minutes too late.
A death row pardon, two minutes too late.
A death-throe hard-on,
two minutes too late
A death-row pardon,
two minutes too late
A free ride, when you're already there.
A free ride, when you've already paid.
A free ride, where you're going anyway
or
A free ride, when you're going on eBay
or
A free ride, when you're going on eBay
A free ride, when you've already paid
A little too ironic
And you're really too thick
A little too ironic
And yeah I really do think
A traffic jam when you're already late
(No/Dont) smoke inside on your cigarette break
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
An old man turned and he ached
And old man turned ninety-eight
An old man turned and he ate
An old man turned ninety-eight
An old man turned and yanked
An old man turned ninety-eight
An old man turned as he ate
He won the lottery, and I the next day.
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery, and died the next day.
An old man,
turned and he ate,
your lottery,
and died the next day
An old man,
turned ninety-eight,
he won the lottery,
and died the next day
An old man, turned and he ate
An old man turned ninety-eight
An oldest man turned and he ate
An old man turned ninety-eight
And 2 out of 4 is bigger.
And who would've thought it figures?
And Hoover the floor, it figures.
And who would have thought it figures?
And isn't it moronic, don't you think?
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
And pooh on the floor, it figures.

And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little tunic.. and yeah I really do think...
And then meeting his beautiful wife

A little too ironic.. and yeah I really do think...
And who would have thought it's Bigears?
And who would've thought it figures?
And who would have thought it's the girls.
And who would have thought it figures.
And who would have thought, it's bigger
And who would have thought, it figures
And who would've thought
It's because
And who would've thought
It figures
And who would've thought it's a girl.
And who would've thought it figures.
And you're smoking shite on your cigarette break.
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
And you're smoking tight on your cigarette break
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
He won the lottery and was tied the next day.
He won the lottery and died the next day.
Isn't it erotic, don't you think?
Isn't it ironic, don't you think?

A free ride, when you've already paid.
