Fathead
Screeching Weasel · Kill The Musicians [1995]
Why don't you go away
You smelly butt why don't you go away
You're just a turd why
Don't you go away
Sit on it nerd why don't you go away
Dummy dummy dummy dummy dummy
Dummy why don't you beat it
Why don't you go away
You little assface why
Don't you go away
Your mother's calling
Why don't you go away
Too cool for me
Why don't you go away
Punky the fathead
Why don't you go away
Baby baby baby baby baby baby
When you see me
Why don't you go away
You think we suck
Why don't you go away
Come to the show
Why don't you go away
We got your money
Why don't you go away SO who's
The dope why don't you go away
Punky punky punky punky punky punky
Go fart in a puddle
Why don't you go away
Beat it scram go away
