Lyrics
He's white, Jim . . . "
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Am I really that bad?
HE'S BAD, HE'S BAD, HE'S BAD
"I think you're a jerk! I'm moving from you!"
"Make me a sandwich."
"Moving to Venice."
"I'll be black."
(Jack! What?)
"Still white, Jim . . . "
I hate my mother
I hate my father
I AM my sister . . .
And Jermaine is a negro!
A NEGRO! A NEGRO! A NEGRO!
"I thought he looked good -- what happened to you?"
"Please read this pamphlet."
"I'm so BAD!"
You take the monkey, I'll take the llama,
We'll have a party: get me a Pepsi --
Michael is Janet, Janet is Michael --
I'm so confused now --
Who is Diana?
He's oxygenated
His nose is deflated
And he thinks he looks good to you
He thinks he looks good to you
Ike: Oh, I'm sorry . . .
FZ: This is supposed to be the part where I . . . name people who are not . . . related in any particular way to . . . Michael Jackson . . . so . . . oh, let's see now, who could it be . . . uh . . . What's your name . . . ? His name is Bob? Bob is not the illegitimate son of Michael Jackson, take it from me . . .
Billie Jean is not Mr. Bob
Arnold Silvestri . . . (Ha ha ha!)
Billie Jean isn't Arnold Silvestri
Jeanne Kirkpatrick . . .
Billie Jean is not Kirkpatrick
Lando Calrissian . . .
Give me oxygen
Give me oxygen
Give me oxygen
Box o' turds
FZ: That's right, a box o' turds!
