The Lyrics

OS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXfNGRcDYpM
Carpe diem guy ain’t inclined to lie.
Each time he farts, he barks, “It was I.”
When he taints the air, he takes blame, full share:
“Came from my butt—yes, the stench was mine.”
Carpe diem guy
ain’t inclined to lie
If he scents the sky,
admits, “It was I!”

Carpe diem guy awakens bright-eyed
When each day starts, he carps not…don’t hide.
As if it’s a bear and he won’t beware.
He’ll seize and tug until it’s in line.
Carpe diem time…
get that day in line.
Carpe diem time:
Seize one at a time


Go, go…………………!

He knows the art of starting astride
each day, quite aware that life isn’t fair.
Guy gives a tug and gets it in line.
Carpe diem, whines
can’t mesh any time.
Carpe diem guy
indicates the sky.
Carpe diem guy’s
pointing way too high
Crape mie*d# time!

'Bout damn time someone addressed the shameful lack of "Jay and The Americans" parodies here at Amiright …. Why, it's downright Jay and Unamerican

If you live in El Segundo it wouldn't matter.
