See just the lyrics
ROBERT LUND:
I wanna be Al Yankovic
So freakin' bad
With white and nerdy1 fans I never had
Like Oprah I would start my own
"Al" Magazine2
With Bundy, Sharpton, Qaida, Gore, and Green3
Oh, every time I hear a song
My brain regurgitates it wrong, yeah
So all the words I sing along
Are abnor-mal!
I'd be every fangirl's pal4
If I could be Weird Al
SHOEBOX:
Yeah, I'd be crashin' Alapalooza5
In my Belvedere Cruiza6
Rockin' polka medleys7 of
John Phillip Sousa8

I'd be an Amish celebrity9
Losing on Jeopardy10
With shirts like Nick Nolte11
And hair that's Def Leppardy12

Go on eBay to buy it14
I'm no Jerry Springer15

Get Kinky18 with Yoda19
Gotta boogie20 like the biggest ball of

Fall in love with the Skipper24

Of all the Albuquerque songs

In this dog-eat-dog business41
With my billionaire bikini
Supermodel astrophysicist42

In bolognaphile29 heaven
Making albums in 3-D44
BILL DANT:
Which, cubed, is 2727
