Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Alright, there's the flagpole
Why don't you put your tongue on it?
You kiddin'? Stick my tongue to that stupid pole
That's dumb
That's 'cause you know it'll stick
You're full of it, oh, yeah? Yeah
Oh, yeah? Yeah, oh, yeah?
Yeah
Well, I double dog dare ya
[Verse 2]
Okay, now it was serious
A double dog dare
What else what left but I triple dare you
And the final coup de gras of all dares
The sinister triple dog dare
[Verse 3]
I triple dog dare ya
[Verse 4]
Schwartz created a slight breach of etiquette
By skipping the triple dare and going right for the throat
[Verse 5]
Well, it seems you got a little situation
Well, it seems like things are escalating quick
This unprecedented move, skipped the triple just to prove
Just how sure he is that something's gonna stick
[Verse 6]
Alright, alright, well, go on smart ass and do it
I'm going, I'm going
[Verse 7]
Flick's spine stiffened
His lips curled in a defiant sneer
There was no going back now
[Verse 8]
This is nothing, stuck, stuck, stuck
I'm stuck
What did he say?
Geez, it really worked
Schwartz's old man was right, told ya
[Verse 9]
Well, I can't believe that actually just happened
He's as good as glued as far as I can tell
Oh, my goodness, holy cow
Hey guys, what do we do now?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that this will not end well
[Verse 10]
Hey, fellas, help me, come on
What are we gonna do?
The bell rang, we gotta go back in
But what are we gonna do?
[Verse 11]
Well, it's a sticky, sticky, sticky situation
The stickiest there might've ever been
With his lips turning blue, what are we gonna do?
With this sticky situation that we're in?
[Verse 12]
The horns of a dilemma
Good little boys who were on time for class
Got the best presents on Christmas
The bad little boys who got caught
Triple dog daring their friends to stick their tongues
To a flagpole, well, what would you do?
[Verse 13]
Nancy? Charlie? Richie? Esther Jane?
Flick? Where's Flick? Has anyone seen Flick?
Ralphie, do you know where Flick is?
Flick? Flick who?
[Verse 14]
When you're tossed into a cross examination
Gotta pick an explanation to provide
So you rapidly invent an excuse for recompense
He was kidnapped, he forgot his lunch
He died
[Verse 15]
Class, what's going on here?
Well, you can't confess a thing or you'll get busted
If you're caught they'll cart you off to county jail
And then once you're locked away
You'll find out on Christmas day
Santa doesn't read a convicted felon's mail
[Verse 16]
It's a sticky, sticky, sticky situation
Just something for a sudden stroke of luck
'Cause from this point of view, what're we gonna do?
In this sticky situation, feeling stuck
[Verse 17]
Now, I'm going to ask you this one more time
Has anyone seen, yes, Esther Jane
Oh, my Lord
[Verse 18]
Sticky, sticky
Sticky, sticky
It's a sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky
Sticky, sticky, sticky situation
[Verse 19]
Well, we're here to halt this panic on the playground
It's continuing to spiral beyond control
Can you get him to relax? Hey should I break out the axe?
We aren't ruling nothing out until we pry him off that pole
[Verse 20]
It's a sticky, sticky, sticky situation
The stickiest there might've ever been
So do all you can do not to tear him in two
Look alive, look alert, now this might kinda hurt
Gotta pull, gotta wrap, gotta reel him on back
From this sticky, sticky, sticky (Ah)
Sticky, sticky, sticky, (Ah)
Sticky, sticky, sticky situation that he's in
[Verse 21]
Son of a
