perform this way
weird al yankovic
my mama told me when i was hatched
and someday you will go far
the press follows everywhere i go
i'll poke your eye out with a dress like this
back off and enjoy the show!
i'm sure my critics will say it's a grotesque display
baby - i perform this way
i might be wearin' swiss cheese or maybe covered with bees
it doesn't mean i'm crazy - i perform this way
my little monsters pay. lots 'cause i perform this way
i'll be a troll or evil queen
i'll be a human jelly bean
'cause every day is halloween
for me. i'm so completely original
my new look is all the rage
i'll wrap my small intestines 'round my neck
and set fire to myself on stage
i'll wear a porcupine on my head
and for no reason now i'll sing in french
got my straight jacket today
not because i'm crazy - i perform this way
i strap prime rib to my feet
cover myself with raw meat
i'll bet you've never seen a skirt steak worn this way
don't be offended when you see
my latest pop monstrosity
there's nothing too embarrassing
i'll honestly do anything
but wear white after labor day
hope you won't think it's cliche if i go nude today
no reason i should regret all the attention i get
i'm always deviating from the norm this way-hey
i'm really not insane - i just perform this way-hey
