lyrics
When you're out on a date, you shouldn't mention your ex
Don't talk about her dad when you're having sex
Her sister looking hotter in that dress
Is just something that you shouldn't confess
These are things you shouldn't talk about
These are things better left unsaid
These are things you shouldn't talk about
Thoughts and ideas that should stay in your head
Politics, religion, and your STD's
Or what you like to do when she's on her knees
That gnarly booger you ate last night
Or that special way you feel when your pants are too tight
These are things you shouldn't talk about
These are things better left unsaid
These are things you shouldn't talk about
Thoughts and ideas that should stay in your head
All of these things are verboten
If you talk about them you might be floatin'
Your feet wrapped in a cement coatin'
Your balls chewed off by a rat named Odin
You really should be proud of what sets you apart
But don't tell anybody how often you shart
The fact that you love those leper mimes
And how your dad's tiara really shines
These are things you shouldn't talk about
These are things better left unsaid
These are things you shouldn't talk about
Thoughts and ideas that should stay in your head
