We drove to The Home of Beef and got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and built a compost toilet out of sheets
I finally found you, my missing goblin fingernail, I'm Dan Quayle.
Let's go all the way tonight
No Thom's Lazy Eye, just taco pants
We can headbang until we die
You and I
We'll be Goonies forever
You make me feel like I'm pummeling a teenage dream
The way you tickle me with your urine stream, I can't sleep
Let's have fun and don't ever mong fish, don't ever mong fish
