Ching chong chang!
Church on time
Church on time - That reminds me
Church on time - Makes me vomit.
Church on time - terrifies me
Church on time - makes me party.
Church on time - terrifies me
Church on time - makes me vomit.
Church on time - terrifies me
Church on time - makes me party.
Church on time, makes me horny.
Church on time, makes me party.
Church on time, makes me potty.
Church on time, makes me party.
Embarrass my heartsick when I see my Mona Lisa
In Paris my heart sinks when I see the Mona Lisa
Garden Man, Garden Man, Garden Man
or
Garden Gnome, Garden Gnome, Garden Gnome
or
Modern Man, Modern Man, Modern Man
or
God in Man, God in man, God in Man
God and Man, God and Man, God and Man
God damned Man
God and Man, God and Man, God and Man
I catch a papal void
I catch a paper boy
I catch the paperboy
who sings so really gay
I catch the paperboy,
but things don't really change
I catch the paperboy
Who thinks you're really tame.
I catch the paperboy
But things don't really change.
I don't wanna go out
I wanna stay in
Kissing about
I know when to go out
I know when to stay in
Get things done
I don't want to go out
I want to stay home
Good thing I'm out.
I know when to go out
I know when to stay in
Get things done.
I don't want to go out
I want to stay in
Dancing in the dark
I know when to go out
I know when to stay in
Get things done
I don't want to go out
I want to stay in
Kissing about
I know when to go out
And when to stay in
Get things done
I twisted my pennis.
I trusted my Venus.
I've cut the people...but
I catch a paper boy.
It's just the power to charge.
It's just the power to charm.
It's just the power to talk
It's just the power to charm
It's just too far to trot
It's just the power to charm
It's not really worth it
It's not really work
Juke joint jive
Church on time
Makes me horny
Makes me party
Makes me ponder
Makes me party
Makes me vomit!
Makes me party!
Makes me wear my shirt on time
Takes me to the church on time
Modern man, no profession
Modern man, no religion
God and man, no confessions
God and man, no religion
Private life, private love
Modern love, modern love
Puts my trust in Garden Man
Puts my trust in god and man
Take me to the church or die.
Take me to the church on time.
Takes me to the judge on time
Takes me to the church on time
In the Pepsi commercial from 1987, the line is replaced with "Now I know the choice is mine".
Work on time - pterodactyl
Church on time - terrifies me
