Lyrics

I slit my wrists with my swingline
Copied myself 500 times
I pierced my ears with a 3-hole punch
Ate 12 dozen donuts for lunch
But next week I'm a walk, next week I'm a walk:
And the week after that I'm gonna run
I swam in an olympic-size pool;
Had a picnic with a ventriloquist
Saw my brother coming up the hill:
He wrapped a beach towel round my wrist
So next week I'm a walk, next week I'm a walk:
And the week after that I'm gonna run
I dumped surel for an older man;
Now I'm doing it for dante
Gimme some of that nasty water
I'll take it one sip at a time
So next week I'm a walk, next week I'm a walk:
And the week after that I'm gonna run
Next week I'm a walk:
And the week after that I'm gonna run
On one of those things:
It's something like a treadmill I think
So next week I'm a walk, next week I'm a walk:
And the week after that I'm gonna run
