about

Parody of "Basket Case" by Green Day.

lyrics

Do you want a shoe?
I’ll make you one or two
But first you need to get to me
And that’s tough
I’m someone you’d feel
Is totally not real
Improbable at best
And yet I exist

Sometimes I wish that I was tall
Sometimes I’m scared that I might fall
But then I stop and hold
Coins from my pot o’ gold
My problems are destroyed
Top o’ the world

The place where I live
Is colored ROYGBIV
Not somewhere you’d expect
That I could sit down

And yet it supports
Me and my bright green shorts
So get to climbing
And don’t ever look down

Sometimes it’s nat-u-ral to fear
The rainbow’s gonna disappear
Just ‘cause it’s hard to see
It didn’t cease to be
Don’t think about the void
Go Go Go Go

Get your pot of gold
It’s heavy so hold on

Sometimes I give people false hope
Then I’m like ha ha ha ha nope
You’ve got the ROYG blues
But you can still get shoes
As long as I am paid
A lot of gold
