The Ballad of What Me Worry

Intro

Oh oh

(A-cha-cha-cha)

Alfred

Yeah

Verse 1

Back in fifty two in New York city two outlaws made a scene

Harvey Kurtzman drew the fire while Bill Gaines supplied the green

Comics Code said be real nice so they called it a magazine

Issue twenty four they flipped the script and stayed obscene

Staying clean but getting mean

Pre-Chorus

Mad about the morning

Mad about the lunch

Mad about the masses

Chorus

What me worry says the kid with the ears that catch the breeze

Alfred E Neuman grins on every cover while the readers wheeze

You pay a pittance for the truth they hide behind the tease

Potrzebie forever

Potrzebie forever

Verse 2

Spy versus Spy in black and white with knives behind their back

Antonio brought them from Havana right before the Fidel attack

Don Martin slips on a banana peel you hear a glorious sploink

Sergio doodles in the margins where the weirdos go loink

Pre-Chorus

Mad about the movies

Mad about the stars

Mad about the people

Chorus

What me worry says the kid with the ears that catch the breeze

Alfred E Neuman grins on every cover while the readers wheeze

You pay a pittance for the truth they hide behind the tease

Potrzebie forever

Potrzebie forever

Bridge

Al Jaffee folds the page and answers turn to lies

Dave Berg sees your life and tells you no disguise

Snappy answers for the stupid questions

Movies mocked for the poor suggestions

Cheap ink on the thumb

Culture going numb

Chorus

What me worry says the kid with the ears that catch the breeze

Alfred E Neuman grins on every cover while the readers wheeze

You pay a pittance for the truth they hide behind the tease

Potrzebie forever

Potrzebie forever

Hook

Mad mad mad mad

What me worry

Mad mad mad mad
