How Do You Work This Thing

How do you work this thing?

That's what I want to know

It should reinflate when you've used it

So you can have yourself another go

If I told you I loved you, baby

I certainly meant what I said

But my arms are blunt and my legs are sharp

And there's nobody home in my head

How do you work this thing?

How do you work this work this work this work this

Thing

How do you work this thing?

That's what I want to find out

Everything it connects with

Only leaves a kink in the spout

How do you work this thing?

How do you work this work this work this work this

Who's been feeding tomatoes to the cat?

I have never seen a vegetarian cat

I just want to sleep on you and leave it at that

Ah, how do you work this thing?

How does it loop the loop?

How does it point correctly

And not into the chicken coop?

If I told you I loved you, baby

I certainly spoke my mind

But one day's egg is the next day's chicken

And the chicken I rely on is blind

How do you stop this thing?

How do you turn it off quick?

It's startin' to spray all over the place

It's sprayin' my feet and it's sprayin' your face

And it's makin' the customers makin' the customers

Makin' the customers makin' the customers

Sick
