Make a Friend on 27th Street

Lyrics by MC Lars Music arranged by Ash Verjee, MC Lars and Joe Oliger I draw this comic and I honestly promise I never thought my characters would come alive I was astonished When they first started talking well I thought I was insane, yo It was not a game, no, they came out the frame so quick That’s when I tried to run from Truman the Human ‘Cause he was having too much fun All naked in my face in the yard chewing gum Jumped out the panel modern day Robert Crumb Ducked down the alley it was MC Chaucer Chilling with Ophelia I thought I lost her My car wouldn’t start, I’m like “What is this?” Francis the Monkey had put my keys up in the fridge Saw a jungle cat in the dorm room, needed more room Fish Boy laying eggs they were warm dude! Computer science bear was not about world kindness I’m just trying to get out! [Chorus] Make a friend on 27th Street (You can always make a friend You can always make a friend, you can always) Make a friend on 27th Street (You can always make a friend You can always make a friend, you can always) This place that I come from called 27th Street Isn’t where you want to be at all There’s a rat named Harold and he’s always getting naked Stealing juice from the shopping mall Baby Jerry’s eating Skittles in his bowl With the Frosted Flakes talking trash to his mom Take a look cause it seems the American Dream On this street’s gone wrong, this song Is about a place you don’t want to go, no! Old Man Wormsly is crawling real slow And what about Toad? Well it’s awkward yo! Luigi’s so impatient he can’t wait for him to go Got pancreatic cancer, God damn! At the funeral he’s making love to another man Diagnosed by an animal hater named Dr. Felix Tossing puppies and kittens out of his ’97 Buick On 27th Street, please please help me Cause the toons that I drew well they’re evil I can see So I grabbed the eraser, no lie! You scary cartoon characters you’re all going to die! Why you gotta be up in my grill? Why you gotta make me wanna kill? Who needs enemies when you got friends like these Well at least I can draw a new scene like “Peace!” [REPEAT Chorus] You can always make a friend who will be there ’till the end On 27th Street, where? On 27th Street, there on 27th Street
