Lyrics
- Sharry Bobbins:
- All right, children. Let's clean up this room.
- Bart:
- Aw, man.
- Lisa:
- Do we have to?
- Sharry Bobbins:
- Now, now, I know a little secret that will make the job go twice as fast.
- If there's a task that must be done,
- Don't turn your tail and run.
- Don't pout,
- Don't sob,
- Just do a half-assed job.
- If you cut every corner,
- It is really not so bad.
- Everybody does it.
- Even Mom and Dad.
- If nobody sees it,
- Then nobody gets mad.
- Bart:
- It's the American way.
- Sharry Bobbins:
- The policeman on the beat
- Needs some time to rest his feet.
- Chief Wiggum:
- Fighting crime is not my cup of tea.
- Sharry Bobbins:
- And the clerk who runs the store
- Can charge a little more
- For meat...
- Apu:
- For meat...
- Sharry Bobbins:
- And milk...
- Apu:
- And milk...
- Sharry Bobbins & Apu:
- From nineteen eighty-four.
- Sharry Bobbins:
- If you cut every corner,
- You'll have more time for play.
- Sharry Bobbins and the Simpsons:
- It's the American way!!
