If my lips ever left my mouth,
Packed a bag and headed south,
That'd be too bad: I'd be so sad.
                                That'd be too bad, you'd be so sad?
That'd be too bad.
 
If my lips said "Adios,
we don't like you we think you're gross"
That'd be too bad: I might get mad.
                                That'd be too bad you might get mad?
That'd be too bad.
 
If my lips moved to Duluth,
Left a mess and took my tooth
That'd be too bad: I'd call my Dad.
                                That'd be too bad you'd call your Dad?
That'd be too bad.
 
                                So what you're saying is,
                                If your lips ever left you...
That'd be too bad I'd be so sad
I might get mad I'd call my Dad
				That'd be too bad you'd be so sad?
That'd be too bad.

				Fascinating!                                
I love my lips!
                                Oh dear, this is more serious than
                                I thought...
 
 
...                             Larry, tell me about your childhood.
 
When I was just two years old,
I left my lips out in the cold
And they turned blue; what could I do?
                                And they turned blue what could you do?
And they turned blue.
 
On the day I got my tooth
I had to kiss my Great Aunt Ruth
She had a beard, and it felt weird.
                                She had a beard and it felt weird?
She had a beard.
 
Two days after I turned eight
I got my lips stuck in a gate
My friends all laughed
And I just...
              stood there until the fire department came and forced the
gate open with a crowbar and I had to spend six weeks in lip rehab with a
kid called Oscar who got stung by a bumblebee right on the lip and we
couldn't even talk to each other until the fifth week cause both of our
lips were so swollen and when he did start talking he only spoke Polish
and I only know like three words of Polish except now I know four cause he
taught me the word for lip... "Usta!"
 
                                ...Your friends all laughed... Usta?

				So what you're saying is,                               
                                When you were young...
Oh they turned blue what could I do
She had a beard and it felt weird
My friends all laughed... Usta!
 
                                I'm confused.
 
I love my lips!
