  • Mind your business
    Mind your business
    Mind your never-shut, Quonset hut business

    My craft is exploding
    It's like I'm making cloisonné
    Choking on my dust
    With my three blind cats

    You have a friend in law enforcement
    Don't go calling law enforcement
    Business
    Mind your business

    Got too busy explaining
    Now it's just raining pain
    Pain in the form of a rain drop
    Yes, a rain drop made of pain

    Tell 'em the story, rain drop
    "I don't want to tell 'em, mister!"
    Tell 'em the story, rain drop
    "I don't want to tell 'em!"

    Keep your voice down
    Keep your voice down
    Keep your window-shaking, godforsaken voice down

    I'm sick of this beeswax
    I'm sick of these second-story sleestaks
    Breathing on my dice
    Giving me back rubs

    When I'm deep in concentration
    You start getting no conversatin'
    Sleestak

    What's a sleestak?
    That's your heart attack
    Towel rack
    Fallback

    You got no doctors
    All your doctors have gone home
    What's a sleestak?
    What's a sleestak?

    You have a friend in law enforcement
    Don't go calling law enforcement
