This is my ironic doo-wop song
Everybody wants to sing along
I could light a candle with my tongue
You would eat my fire and scorch your lung
This is not the recommended course of action
This is your new hipster manifesto
We all swear to swear off eating pesto
If it makes no sense, it's for the best
O, we much more clever than the rest
O, this is not the recommended course of action
This is snarky meta-commentary
It's self-referential drivel barely held together with a
Vaguely elementary-school rhyme scheme
And a half-diminished flat-five thrown in just to make sound unsettling
This is not the recommended course of action
This is not the meaning I intended at all
It's ironically ironic, do you follow?
