Lyrics

It was a Friday.
I saw a movie, but it wasn’t very long,
so I snuck into another one.
Employees caught me. They threw me out into the mall.
All in all, it was pretty fun.
But then it happened: I bumped into a random guy.
He said “Excuse me,” and he tried to walk away.
But I had just had a psychic vision.
I said, “Sir, I don’t know why, but I know your name.”
I said,

“I know, I know, I know your name.

I know, I know, I know your name.

I know, I know, I know your name.

I know, I know your name is…

Your name is Bob. Your name is Bob.

Your name is Bob, I know.”

The guy said, “Sorry, my name is Fred,”
And then he slowly walked away. I never saw that guy again.
Went back to my house.
Went to my room to feed my fish which was floating on its back,
So I gave it to the cat.
When he was finished, I took the bones away,
But right before I reached the garbage something happened in my brain.
Well I had just had a psychic vision.
I said, “Cat, I don’t know why, but I know your name.”
I said,

“I know, I know, I know your name.

I know, I know, I know your name.

I know, I know, I know your name.

I know, I know your name is…

Your name is Bob. Your name is Bob.

Your name is Bob, I know.”

The cat said nothing,
And then threw up onto my freshly shampooed carpet.
I rolled my eyes and walked outside.
It started raining.
I ran for shelter in an alleyway that smelled as if an elephant had died.
There was a box there.
I looked inside to see a homeless man,
Dressed in rags, bearded and insane.
And suddenly I had a psychic vision.
I said, “Sir, I don’t know why, but I know your name.”
I said,

“I know, I know, I know your name.

I know, I know, I know your name.

I know, I know, I know your name.

I know, I know your name is…

Your name is Bob. Your name is Bob.

Your name is Bob, I know.”

The homeless man stared. He looked a bit scared.
He asked me how I knew his name. I couldn’t say.
And it was awkward. He fell asleep,
And I walked back home in the rain. (In the rain.)
But then it happened: another vision came to me.
Another psychic idea from my dreams.
I knew I had to burn down the supermarket to achieve world peace.
So I did.
So I did…
So I did…
So I did…
So I did…
So I did…
So I did…
So I did…
So I did…
So I did…
So I did…
So I did!
