Primus Lyrics
"Poetry & Prose"

I ain't one for poetry, aint' one for prose.
ain't one for the scent of a sping-time rose.
But the is one face that I do know,
I sure get a kick out of that beavis and butt-head show.

Other day I turn my tv on, and guess what I do see?
Two crazy-ass cartoon sunsabitches staring on back at me.
Said "what the hell's this",
and ler said "boy, dont' you know? "
The whole world's gone crazy over that there beavis and butt-head show.

Talk about couch fishing, now I could go for that.
I could go for frog baseball, but I be inclined to use a cat!
On comedy, I'm a stooges man. I like larry, curly and moe.
But now and then a get a chuckle watchin' the beavis and butt-head show.

Stone-temple pearlvana chain, now there's a helluva band.
They got that original sound that's sweepin' 'cross the land.
Ain't no zz top though, now that's the band for me.
If I had my way mtv'd play just them and ac/dc.

I ain't nothing special, I'm your average kinda man.
I like a frosted barley pop and I drink 'em outta the can!
I don't give a rat's ass about poetry and not a damn 'bout prose.
I sure get a kick outta them beavis and butt-head shows.

Butthead: "hey beavis..."
Beavis: "what? "
Butthead: "i was just like.
..thinking and stuff...it was pretty cool."
Beavis: "yeah, I'm gonna try that."
Butthead: "tv is cool..."
Beavis: "yeah, yeah, tv rules....it rules! yeah..."
Butthead: "hey beavis.
..i heard that pretty soon, they're gonna have, like, 500 channels.
That's gonna be cool."
Beavis: "really? that would be cool."
Butthead: "you know what would be really cool,
though? if like, one of the channels didn't suck."
Beavis: "yeah, but, like,
if one of them didn't suck, why would you need the other...um...
Three hundred and twenty-seven? "
Butthead: "because, you know all those tv shows
that suck? it's like, you gotta put them
Somewhere! you can't put 'em on the cool channel!"
Beavis: "yeah, yeah! they should call it the cool channel!"
