Lyrics

Thank you, thank you very much
This is Pelvis
This song we're recordin' live
Here in my house in Wasteland, here in Memphis, Tennessee
Jelly donut
I wanna be your jelly donut
A jelly donut
Hold on a second, hold on a second
(Pelvis, this is the telephone company)
(I have your bill here; when can we expect payment, buddy?)
You're from the telephone company?
I'm supposed to be recordin' my song live here
Put, put the bill over there on the table
Put it on the table
Put the bill over there
Thank you, I gotta record my song here
"Jelly Donuts"
Put the bill ...
I wanna be your jelly donut
A jelly donut, a jelly …
Hold on a second, what do you want?
Come on, I'm tryin' to record my song
(Hold on now, I'm Priscilla's lawyer here) You know what I'm sayin'?
(From Ketchum and Cheatum Attorneys)
(You're about three months back due in your alimony payments)
(Now when can we expect payment here, buddy?)
Hopefully you can understand
I, I know karate, jiu-jitsu, and twelve other Japanese words
I'm gonna ...
A jelly donut
Hold on a second, hold on a second
I can smell them donuts comin' from the kitchen
I can smell them donuts comin' from the kitchen
I, I don't care, I don't care
I gotta have me a jelly donut
Gimme some of them donuts
(Here, Pelvis, we're tryin' to record a song here at your house)
(Get away from them jelly donuts)
I can't help it, I need some
(Watch out, he's gonna pop!)
He ate too many jelly donuts
He ate too many jelly donuts
He ate too many jelly donuts
Ahhhh
He ate too many jelly donuts
He ate too many jelly donuts
He ate too many jelly donuts
He ate too many jelly donuts
Ahhhh
He ate too many jelly donuts
