The Mountain Goats

Golden Boy

Hello there Paul! I had a take and I

listened to it and I was ready to send it and I

thought: you know...?

It can be done better. So here it is, then. Now I'm

wearing my boots, which always guarantees a good show.

You must try to lead a good life

You must do unto others as you would have them do

So that when you die you'll find golden boy peanuts

waiting in the

Afterlife for you

There are no pan asian supermarkets down in hell

So you can't buy golden boy peanuts

There are no pan asian supermarkets down in hell

So you can't buy golden boy peanuts

If thine enemy oppresseth you

You must let him oppress you some more

So that when you go shopping in paradise

You'll find those magnificent peanuts from singapore

With the drawing of the young chinese farmer

The eastern sun behind him smiling at you from the

shelves

If we want to spend eternity in happiness

Well we're gonna have watch ourselves

You must give to the march of dimes

You must be on guard against wickedness at all times

And you'll find that your efforts have brought you

great joy

When your spirit is munching on that golden boy

There are no pan asian supermarkets down in hell

So you can't buy golden boy peanuts there

But the streets of heaven are lined with shelves

And there's billboards of the golden boy everywhere

There are no pan asian supermarkets down in hell

So you can't buy golden boy peanuts

There are no pan asian supermarkets down in hell

So you can't buy golden boy peanuts... GO!
