Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got a friend in Fremont
He sells used cars, ya know?
Well, he calls me up twice a year
Just to ask me how'd it go
[Verse 2]
Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain
But actually, everything is just about the same
[Verse 3]
I met a girl from Venus
Her insides were lined in gold
Well, she did what she did, said, "How was it, kid?"
She was politely told
[Verse 4]
"Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain
But actually, everything is just about the same"
[Verse 5]
Moonlight makes me dizzy
Sunlight makes me clean
Your light is the sweetest thing
That this boy has ever seen
[Verse 6]
Molly went to Arkansas
She got raped by Dobbin's dog
Well, she was doin' good till she went in the woods
And got pinned up against a log
Pretty good, not bad, she can't complain
'Cause actually, all them dogs are just about the same
[Verse 7]
Moonlight makes me dizzy
Sunlight makes me clean
Your light is the sweetest thing
That this boy has ever seen
[Verse 8]
I heard Allah and Buddha
Were singing at the Savior's feast
And up in the sky, an Arabian rabbi
Fed Quaker Oats to a priest
[Verse 9]
Pretty good, not bad, they can't complain
'Cause actually, all them gods are just about the same
Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain
'Cause actually, everything is just about the same
