Big Stink
[Owen]
Wake up, hurry, really, we can't be late
The corpse flower blooms every seven years and today is
Like Christmas Day for flowerheads like me

[Molly]
You should really get out more

[Owen]
They only call it that because it smells so bad
But once you see this thing, you're gonna thank your dad
It's like ten feet tall and it stinks like rotten flesh

[Cole]
So it's a good thing to smell like death?

[Molly]
Is this smell gonna ruin our clothes?

[Owen]
Well, if we hurry it up, you'll be the first to know
And you'll remember this day

[Cole]
Or the stench
[Owen]
For the rest of your lives

Every seven years (Ba ba ba)
A stiff new bloom appears (Ba ba ba)
And I promise that you will not have a rotten time

[Molly & Cole]
You're making such a big stink

[Owen]
Today is gonna stink so good
A beaming highlight of every childhood
And you don't wanna miss out on this thing
That is why I'm making such a big stink
Come on let's go
(Big stink)
(Big stink)
You won't forget it
(Big stink)
(Big stink)
(You're making such a big stink)

[Molly]
Who wants to see a flower that needs a shower?
[Cole]
We love you dad but this is an abuse of power

[Owen]
No, it's a gift from Mother Nature
And we're running out of time
What if she blooms and we're in back of the line?

[Molly & Cole]
Ok we'll go just
Give us a clip for our noses

[Owen]
I promise you won't be disappointed
Can't wait to share this with you

[Molly & Cole]
We'll need stronger shampoo

[Owen]
Every seven year (Ba ba ba)
The stinky bloom appears (Ba ba ba)
And you're not gonna miss out on this thing
This is why I'm making such a big stink
Come on let's go!
