Bad Bad News
[EDDIE]
What is a man
When he gives up his soul
For a lick
From a chick
Who completely takes control?
[MALCOLM, spoken]
Tell the tale!
[EDDIE]
How does a man who can see behind his head
Turn as blind as a bat with no eyes?
[MALCOLM]
What is a man?
When he turns on his friends?
We've been tossed
Now we're lost
Just a platter of burnt ends
[EDDIE, spoken]
I feel you
[MALCOLM]
How do we make
Our hero wide awake
So that he
Can re-
Alize?
[MALCOLM & EDDIE]
That girl is bad, bad news!
Bad news!
Nothin' but tears
Nothin' but trouble
Nothin' but stress!
Yeah, she is bad, bad news!
Bad news!
[EDDIE]
Bad news!
[MALCOLM & EDDIE]
Our buddy Brett
Is gonna regret
That he ever said "yes!"
The girl may be hot
But all that he's got
Is bad, bad news
[EDDIE]
What do you do when your friend's life's at stake?
[MALCOLM]
Man, he's flipped
[SIMON]
No, he's whipped
Like the cream on a cake
[EDDIE]
What can we say?
[MALCOLM]
He won't talk
[SIMON]
He won't play
[MALCOLM, EDDIE & SIMON]
How could one tongue destroy a whole team?
[MALCOLM, EDDIE, SIMON & RICHIE]
That girl is bad, bad news!
Bad news!
[SIMON]
Oh, she's very bad news!
[RICHIE]
She's like a snake!
[EDDIE]
She's like a cockroach!
[SIMON]
She's like a cow!
An evil cow!
ALL
Wow, she is bad, bad news!
Bad news!
[MALCOLM]
Très bad!
[ALL]
We've been abandoned
Left in the sand and
Who are we now?
He fell for a slut
With a fabulous butt
But she's bad, bad news
[EDDIE, spoken]
Perhaps there's a way we can "dispose" of her...
[MALCOLM, spoken]
Maybe she can "meet with an accident"?
[SIMON]
We have got to make clear that she's not welcome here
The most horrible way we can find
[MALCOLM]
We could go train a pit bull to chew on her flesh
[EDDIE]
I don't think they attack their own kind
[RICHIE]
We could torture her mother and poison her cat
[SIMON]
To be honest, I don't think she'd mind
[EDDIE]
I could chop up her credit card. Look, it's a start
[MALCOLM]
Drive a stake through her heart, if she just had a heart
[ALL]
The longer it goes, the worse it'll get!
So somebody's got to tell Brett!
[RICHIE]
YEAH!
[MALCOLM, EDDIE & SIMON]
That girl is bad, bad news!
Bad news!
[RICHIE]
Oh, she's bad news!
[MALCOLM, EDDIE & SIMON]
She took our pal
She took our leader
And led him astray!
Hey! Hey!
[ALL]
She's totally bad, bad news!
Bad news!
[EDDIE, riffing]
Bad news!
[MALCOLM, attempting to out-riff EDDIE]
Bad news!
[ALL]
Listen up, Brett!
You're not ruined yet!
We'll show you the way!
Throw her under the bus
And come back to us!
[MALCOLM]
Even though she has excellent shoes...
She's-
[ALL]
Bad, bad, bad, bad
Bad, bad, bad, bad
News!
Bad news!
