Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You used to do comedy when you felt like being funny
But now you're contractually obligated
So dance, you fucking monkey
Dance, monkey, dance
[Verse 2]
Welcome to the show
This is Bo
This is his show
And Bo likes to dance like this
[Verse 3]
Welcome to the show
This is Bo
This is his show
And Bo takes off his pants like this
[Verse 4]
Play an invisible drum
Play an invisible trumpet (Trumpet sound)
Drink some invisible water
Oh, shit, that water's real
[Verse 5]
Bo wants to make you feel comfortable
Bo wants to make you feel comfortable (Random voice)
Bo wants to make you feel comfortable
So sit back, relax, and enjoy
A healthy dose of
[Verse 6]
Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)
Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)
Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)
Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)
Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)
Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)
Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)
(Prolonged eye contact)
Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)
Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)
Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)
Lick your lips to make it more comforting
[Verse 7]
Do you want to see a magic trick?
Do you want to see a magic trick?
Do you want to see a magic trick?
Then pick a card, any card
[Verse 8]
Psych
Magic isn't real, you idiot
Read a book
Magic isn't real, you idiot
Read a book
Magic isn't real, you idiot
Read a book
Magic isn't real
Or is it?
[Verse 9]
And at that moment
Bo's 20-year old cynicism melted into child-like wonder
He never knew there could be so much magic in the world
It's a world of possibilities, Bo
What do you want to do first?
Run?
Yeah, sure you can run
Fly?
Well, yeah, you can fly
What?
What are you, what the fuck are you do?
What the fuck are you doing?
Stop, s-stop it, what the
You fucking idiot
Stop, stop, stop
Anyways
[Verse 10]
In the distance
Bo saw a beautiful fairy
A fairy so beautiful
That he felt proud about being called one in high school
He then came across an old bridge with a troll standing guard
Bo knew that he'd have to answer a riddle to get by
The troll spoke thus
"All right, for the last time, man
I'm not a troll, I'm homeless
Okay, do you have any spare change?
Okay, that's a used napkin
I don't want that
No, no, stop, just
You know what? Leave, just leave, leave, please
[Verse 11]
And then
As Bo arrived on the other side of the stage
He saw a unicorn, with five horns, right in front of him
And the penta-corn spoke thus
"Hello, Bo
I've been looking for you for quite a long"
[Verse 12]
He was safe
For now
But the dark thoughts would soon return
[Verse 13]
It's so hard to be a lizard
It's hard to be a lizard
Tiny arms, itchy gizzard
It's hard to be a lizard
But it's harder to segue
[Verse 14]
Is he skiing?
Or is he in a gay porn?
Is he skiing? What?
Or is he in a gay porn?
Is he skiing? Huh?
Or is he in a gay porn?
Here's a hint
He's in a gay porn
[Verse 15]
Okay, Bo, this miming shit is getting pretty annoying
So give them the real thing
[Verse 16]
My voice is so fucking natural
It's naturally good
Naturally good
Naturally good
[Verse 17]
This is the end of the song
And the beginning of the show
Welcome to the show
[Verse 18]
He meant to knock the water over
Yeah, yeah, yeah
But you all thought it was an accident
But he meant to knock the water over
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Art is a lie
Nothing is real
[Verse 19]
He meant to knock the water over
Yeah, yeah, yeah
But you all thought it was an
[Verse 20]
He meant to play the track again
Yeah, yeah, yeah
But you all thought it was an accident
But he meant to play the water track again, gain, gain
Art's still a lie
Nothing's still real
