Duff Beer Homer Dohhhhhh

Hey Y'all

Homer Simpson here

From the Simpson's 

For and on behalf of 

   Duff Beer 

Just to let you know

That if you drink enough

    Duff Beer

It can make you're problem's go away

If it changes your personality and
turns you into an obnoxious drunk

And gets you into a fight and you
eventually get your light's punched out

And then all your problems do seem
to go away

Until you eventually wake up and come
to

And you go

Dohhhhhh

Why the hell have I got 2 black eyes
and a broken nose

Which is also so much worse than
you're normal bog standard hangover

And you now need another

     Duff Beer

I timidly knocked on his office door,
covered my ears for his usual roar
as I knew he would let fly

THE ANSWER'S NO,
NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT -
he’s such a churlish guy

THE ANSWER'S NO,
NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT...
in the past he’d made me cry

THE ANSWER'S NO,
NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT
was his bog standard reply

It’s your invite to the staff party
you said no 
so now I’ll say goodbye!

Moss
on
the moor,
growing wild-
nature's field dressing
