Lyrics (as sung by Two Bread Tom)[]
Streaks on the china, never mattered before, who cares. When you drop kicked your jacket |
As you came through the door, No one glared. But sometimes things get turned around And no one's spared. |
Lyrics (as sung by Marceline)[]
But sometimes things get turned around And no one's spared. All hands look out below-ow There's a change in the status quo-uo-uo. |
Gonna need all the help that we can get. According to our new arrival Life is more than mere survival And we just might live the good life yet. |
Original Mr. Belvedere lyrics[]
Streaks on the china, never mattered before, who cared. When you drop kicked your jacket |
As you came through the door, No one glared. But sometimes things get turned around And no one's spared. |
All hands look out below There's a change in the status quo. Gonna need all the help that we can get. According to our new arrival |
Life is more than mere survival We just might live the good life yet. |
