Poetry And Prose
Primus

I ain't one for poetry, aint' one for prose. Ain't one for the scent of a sping-time rose.

But the is one face that I do know, I sure get a kick out of that Beavis and Butt-head show.


Other day I turn my tv on, and guess what I do see?

Two crazy-ass cartoon sunsabitches staring on back at me.

Said What the hell's this, and Ler said Boy, don't' you know?

The whole world's gone crazy over that there Beavis and Butt-head show.


Talk about couch fishing, now I could go for that.

I could go for frog baseball, but I be inclined to use a cat!

On Comedy, I'm a stooges man. I like Larry, Curly and Moe.

But now and then a get a chuckle watchin' the Beavis and Butt-head show.


Stone-Temple Pearlvana Chain, now there's a helluva band.

They got that original sound that's sweepin' 'cross the land.

Ain't no zz Top though, now that's the band for me.

If I had my way mtv'd play just them and ac/Dc.


I ain't nothing special, I'm your average kinda man.

I like a frosted barley pop and I drink 'em outta the can!

I don't give a rat's ass about poetry and not a damn 'bout prose.

I sure get a kick outta them Beavis and Butt-head shows.


Butthead: Hey Beavis...

Beavis: What?

Butthead: I was just like...thinking and stuff...it was pretty cool.

Beavis: Yeah, I'm gonna try that.

Butthead: TV is cool...

Beavis: Yeah, yeah, TV rules....it rules! Yeah...

Butthead: Hey Beavis... I heard that pretty soon, they're gonna have, like, 500 channels.

That's gonna be cool.

Beavis: Really? That would be cool.

Butthead: You know what would be really cool, though? If like, one of the channels didn't suck.

Beavis: Yeah, but, like, if one of them didn't suck, why would you need the other... Um...

Three hundred and twenty-seven?

Butthead: Because, you know all those tv shows that suck? It's like, you gotta put them

Somewhere! You can't put 'em on the cool channel!

Beavis: Yeah, yeah! They should call it the cool channel!
