Mustard Man
He would’ve put his mind in a can
Perfectly they changed him into mustard man
And add just a touch of who we are
And gave him many years of life inside the insect jar
Decidedly he did his best to exist
Ironically he never ever took a risk
And I know you try hard
And I know it gets so easy, looks so greasy
Hey mustard man
I try in his dead hand
Now just what is your plan
Hey mustard man
Little girl who went on a scenic drive
Oh how nice
Naturally he tried to take his own life
Immediately they gave him two or three wives
I saw everything they did to him that day
And I kind of have to wonder what he has to say
Pick all his bones, you whistle while you work
Pick it all, I like the way that smirks
And I know you try hard
And I know it should be easy, gets so greasy
Hey mustard man
Now just what is your plan
Now just glide into day
Hey mustard man
Little girl who went on a scenic drive
Oh how nice
Hey mustard man
Well what’s your plan
Now I lie in the den
Hey mustard man
Little girl who went on a scenic drive
