[VERSE]

I'm God

Okay?

I've got something to say

Those dummies dancing half to death?

That wasn't me!

No way!

I made the stars and moon and sun

And also I made everyone!

Like Genghis Khan, Céline Dion

All dogs and cats, fruit bats, your mom

And sure, some people worship me

But then, I did make everything!

Like Jupiter, and Tupperware

And Diet Coke and teddy bears!


[Chorus]

But I didn't make those people dance

Oh way back when in Olden France

I'm not that guy!

That's not my scene!

You think that I would be so mean?

And, sure, I killed their crops for years

And preyed upon all their deepest fears

Of squalor, plague, no food to eat

But dancing? Man that's not my beat?


[VERSE]

Know what? I lied, It's all on me

I got those dingbats to their feet

Boy, they could really Jitterbug

But when they died I pulled the plug

So what?

Big whoop!

Who cares?

Come on!

It's not the worst thing that I've done!

Like bed bugs, pink eye, Tampa, Florida

And also the rest of Florida


[Chorus]

So yeah, I made those people dance

Oh way back when in Olden France

I'm sorry, I know it was rude

I guess I'm just a zany dude
