Weird Al Yankovic - Perform This Way Lyrics
My mama told me when I was hatchedAct like a superstarSave your allowance, buy a bubble dressAnd someday you will go farNow on red carpets, well, I'm hard to missThe press follows everywhere I goI'll poke your eye out with a dress like thisBack off and enjoy the show!I'm sure my critics will say it's a grotesque displayWell, they can bite me, baby -- I perform this wayI might be wearin' Swiss cheese or maybe covered with beesIt doesn't mean I'm crazy -- I perform this wayOoo, my little monsters pay... lots 'cause I perform this wayBaby, I perform this wayOoo, don't worry, I'm okay... hey, I just perform this wayI'm not crazy, I perform this wayI'll be a troll or evil queenI'll be a human jelly bean'Cause every day is HalloweenFor me...I'm so completely originalMy new look is all the rageI'll wrap my small intestines 'round my neckAnd set fire to myself on stageI'll wear a porcupine on my headOn a W-H-I-MAnd for no reason now I'll sing in FrenchExcusez-moi, Qui a pété? (Who cut the cheese?)Got my straight jacket today, it's made of gold laméNo, not because I'm crazy - I perform this wayI strap prime rib to my feet, cover myself with raw meatI'll bet you've never seen a skirt steak worn this wayDon't be offended when you seeMy latest pop monstrosityI'm strange, weird, shocking, odd, bizarreI'm Frankenstein, I'm AvatarThere's nothing too embarrassingI'll honestly do anythingBut wear white after Labor Day'Cause baby, I perform this wayHope you won't think it's cliché if I go ***** todayDon't call the cops now, baby, I perform this wayNo reason I should regret all the attention I getI'm not completely crazy, I perform this way, yeahI perform this way-hey, I perform this way-heyI'm always deviating from the norm this way-heyI perform this way-hey, I perform this way-heyI'm really not insane -- I just perform this way-hey
