Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Put down the chainsaw and listen to me
It's time for us to join in the fight
It's time to let your babies grow up to be cowboys
It's time to let the bedbugs bite
[Verse 2]
You better put all your eggs in one basket
You better count your chickens before they hatch
You better sell some wine before it's time
You better find yourself an itch to scratch
[PreChorus]
You better squeeze all the Charmin you can
When Mr. Wimpole's not around
Stick your head in the microwave and get yourself a tan
[Verse 3]
Talk with your mouth full
Bite the hand that feeds you
Bite on more than you can chew
What can you do?
Dare to be stupid
[Verse 4]
Take some wooden nickels
Look for Mr. Goodbar
Get your mojo working now
I'll show you how
You can dare to be stupid
[PreChorus]
You can turn the other cheek
You can just give up the ship
You can eat a bunch of sushi then forget to leave a tip
[Chorus]
Dare to be stupid
Come on and dare to be stupid
It's so easy to do (Dare to be stupid)
We're all waiting for you
Let's go
[Verse 5]
It's time to make a mountain out of a mole hill
So can I have a volunteer?
There's no more time for crying over spilled milk
Now it's time for crying in your beer
[Verse 6]
Settle down, raise a family, join the P-T-A
Buy some sensible shoes and a Chevrolet
Then party till you're broke and they drive you away
It's okay
You can dare to be stupid
[PreChorus]
It's like spitting on a fish
It's like barking up a tree
It's like I said, you gotta buy one if you want to get one free
[Chorus]
(Dare to be stupid) Yes
Why don't you (Dare to be stupid?)
It's so easy to do (Dare to be stupid)
We're all waiting for you (Dare to be stupid)
[PreChorus]
Burn your candle at both ends
Look a gift horse in the mouth
Mashed potatoes can be your friends
[Verse 7]
You can be a coffee achiever
You can sit around the house and watch "Leave It to Beaver"
The future's up to you
So what you gonna do?
[Chorus]
Dare to be stupid (Dare to be stupid)
What did I say? (Dare to be stupid)
Tell me, what did I say? (Dare to be stupid)
It's alright
We can be stupid alright (Dare to be stupid)
(Dare to be stupid) Come on, join the crowd
(Dare to be stupid) Shout it out loud
(Dare to be stupid) I can't hear you
(Dare to be stupid) Okay, I can hear you now
Let's go (Dare to be stupid)
[Outro]
Dare to be stupid (Dare to be stupid)
Dare to be stupid (Dare to be stupid)
Dare to be stupid (Dare to be stupid)
Dare to be stupid (Dare to be stupid)
