lyrics

When I was just a toddler my mother would tell me

“Wash behind your ears and where the sun don’t shine,
Don’t watch Cartoons, cause there a waste of time.
They rot your eyes and they’re turn your brain to slime.
They have no morals, get your head out of the gutter.
Your leading your life into a life crime.”

But I never ,ever did what my mother would tell me.
cause every Saturday id be glued to the telly.

When I was just a kid I watched a lot TV,
mostly cartoons let me tell you what they taught me.
Violence is funny and nobody dies,
you got to have a catch praise and anvils fall from the sky.

Now I’m a 29 year old man living in his mothers house
still watching an animated cat and mouse.
I haven't found a job in but its no concern to me, cause the cartoons of the past let me tell you what they taught me ..

Everybody has 3 fingers and a thumb.
Storks are where babies come from.

Banana Peels are slippery so watch out for them.
If you misunderstood me then I’ll say it again.

When I was just a Child everything was so much better,
I had no worries just my favorite cartoon character,
Making me laugh and making me smile,
buying their toys and making me wild.

I got a girl friend now and she says “ Your immature,
stop wasting your life with this cartoon guff. ”
You sound just like my mother and I’ve really had enough
Cause the cartoons of the past let me tell you what they taught me…

Dead frogs can dance and sing
Acme makes everything.

Banana Peels are slippery so watch out for them.
If you misunderstood me then I’ll say it again.

All the nostalgia sold for profit
Plastic action figure land fills are what we bought and
I was so spoiled my mind is rotten
But TV has taught what I've not forgotten
Those grown ups will never understand my lack of
Attention span.

Banana Peels are slippery so watch out for them.
If you misunderstood me then I’ll say it again.

Ba na na Ba na na
Ba na na Ba na na
banana!
