Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Thank you for coming out
It is great to be here
Thank you so much
It is
[Verse 2]
It's been a crazy year for me, crazy year
I don't know if you know, in April
It was discovered my wife had a brain tumor
I'm not even making this up
It was removed, she's great, everything's good
Thank you
Thank you
[Verse 3]
I didn't remove it
I, I was in the other room soiling myself
But the tumor is gone
Along with my ability to ever win another argument
It's not like I was winning a lot before
But now I'm retired
[Verse 4]
And luckily, my wife's not the type to bring it up
Well, once she did
She was like, you know, I did have brain surgery
And I couldn't be like, yeah, that was like a month ago
It's time to move on, you know?
What about my seasonal allergies?
We all have our cross to bear
[Verse 5]
It was crazy
You know, the, the surgeon told me the tumor was the size of a pear
Which is scary but also confusing
I was like, did he go to med school or a farmer's market?
But tumors are often compared to fruit
A pear, a lemon, a grapefruit
Interesting fact, worse tumor, grapefruit
Worst fruit, grapefruit
[Verse 6]
When you think about it
A grapefruit looks more like a tumor than a fruit
I almost feel sorry for grapefruit
Yeah, we can't win
Yeah?
We're already the worst fruit
Now we're compared to the worse tumor?
Oh, at least we help old people poop
That is the worst impression of a grapefruit ever
[Verse 7]
It's kinda unfortunate that there's another fruit that's much smaller
Named grape
'Cause you know there's situations in doctor's offices
We've found a tumor, it's the size of a grape
Thank god
I didn't finish
Grapefruit
Oh, that's, that's very different
[Verse 8]
It's strange, you know, when
When the doctor told me the tumor was the size of a pear
I thought, wow, I guess doctors are bad at analogies
But I quickly realized, they're just dumbing it down for idiots like me
Like, the surgeon looked at me and thought
Well, this guy's not gonna understand centimeters
I don't even wanna try and explain circumference
Based on appearance, he doesn't eat fruit
But he's probably seen a pear
[Verse 9]
I mean, he's at the grocery store buying ice cream
I don't know why the surgeon sounds like Andy Rooney
You ever notice tumors look like fruit?
By the way, if you don't know who Andy Rooney is
You're a child
And if you do know who Andy Rooney is
You should probably eat more grapefruit
[Verse 10]
Tumors compared to fruits, they're, they're
Sometimes, they're compared to balls
Like a golf ball or a softball
But the surgeon looked at me and thought
I'm gonna stick with food
I'll get a better shot at this fat ass understanding
I joke around, but it was scary, we have five children
And there were moments when I was like
Oh, my gosh, if anything happens to my wife
Those five kids are gonna be put up for adoption
Some of these jokes are just for the fathers
