THING-FISH:
Muthafucker barf me right on outa here, an' gag me wit a spoon!
HARRY-AS-A-BOY:
What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this? Do you come here often?
THING-FISH:
Yow!
HARRY-AS-A-BOY (& MAMMY NUN ENSEMBLE):
I got a girl with a little rubber head (Rubber head! Rubber head!)
Rinse her out every night just before I go to bed (Go to bed! Go to bed!)
She never talk back like a lady might do (Woo-oah!)
An' she looks like she loves it every time I get through (He-he-he-he!)
And her name is
A-(A!)-R-(R!)-T-(T!)-I-(I!)
F-(F!)-I-(I!)-C", I cry,
A-(A!)-L (L!)", don't be shy!
ARTIFICIAL RHONDA with the plastic pie
Her eyes is all shut in a ecstasy face (Make a face! Make a face!)
I can cram it down her throat, people, any old place! (Huargh!)
Then I throw the little switch on her battery pack (Yuggle-yuggle-yah! Yuggle-yuggle-yah!)
'N I can poot it, I can shoot it till it makes her gack! (Woah! Huargh!)
And her name is
A-(A!)-R-(R!)-T-(T!)-I-(I!)
F-(F!)-I-(I!)-C", I cry,
A-(A!)-L (L!)", don't be shy!
ARTIFICIAL RHONDA with the plastic pie
MAMMY NUN ENSEMBLE:
