The Lyrics

Sing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing)
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing)
That pipe bomb is bound to get you,

Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
That pipe bomb is bound to get you,

Pipe bomb, pipe bomb, pipe bomb, pipe bomb, pipe bomb...mmm...

(Shirley Lloyd)

MacGruber,
Start in to sing, then soon, you’ll be swinging,
MacGruber,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,

One, two, three,
It’s a new sensation, (dee-de-oh!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the step that’s putting the world on its feet,

MacGruber,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
MacGruber,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that

If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, Set off that bomb, run free,
Help us, MacGruber!

(The Three Kays)

MacGruber,
Start in to sing, then soon, you’ll be swinging,
MacGruber,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,

One, two, three,
It’s a new sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the step that’s putting the world on its feet,

MacGruber,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
MacGruber,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that

If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Set off that bomb, run free,
Help us, MacGruber, whoa!

MacGruber,
(instrumental call-back)
MacGruber,
(instrumental call-back)

One, two, three,
It’s a new sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the step that’s putting the world on its feet,

MacGruber,
(instrumental call-back)
MacGruber,
(instrumental call-back)

If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Set off that bomb, run free,
Help us, MacGruber, whoa!

Simple as the day is long!

Wow, great ploy. Betcha fooled everyone with that. I’ve never seen such a needy SOB in my life.
