The Lyrics

When my kids first heard this song, they thought the were hearing Mr Yen and not "missed again". Of course, I had to build a song around the misheard lyrincs.
So you finally came right out and paid with cash
Instead of your Visa
It was in your wallet, just waiting for you to spend it
Now your waiting in line
Paying with cash takes so much less time.

Did I spend some yen?
I think I’m Mr. Yen, oh-oh-oh

Sometimes I spend Euros or dollar bills
If there’s nothing else in my wallet

I try to forget that Yen’s too big to mush into a phone
My lady’s a mime
Spending Yen’s just a waste of her time

Oh, did I spend some Yen?
I think I spent some Yen, oh-oh-oh
Oh, did I spend some Yen oh-oh-oh
I think I spent some Yen, oh-oh-oh

Well if it feels like something you have to buy
Just whip out your wallet, and the Yen will start to fly
You can buy things all around you but you they’re something you just can’t touch
And I can feel my bowels cramping
Yes I can feel my bowels cramping.

Oh, did I spend some Yen?
I think I spent some Yen, oh-oh-oh
Oh did I spend some Yen Oh-oh-oh
I think I spent some Yen, oh-oh-oh

Now your waiting in line
Paying with cash takes so much less time.

Oh did I spend some Yen?....
