Shut up, kid, and have a cigarette
I was only four years old
He came towards me in red nose
I'm scarred for life, I'm sure it shows
And his name was Chunks (Chunks!)
Chunks always treated me so bad
But the thing that was most sad
Was that he was my step-dad
And his name was Chunks (Chunks!)
Mommy why'd you do it?
Mommy why'd you do it?
Mommy why'd you marry it? (Shut up)
Mommy why'd you do it?
Mommy why'd you do it?
Mommy why'd you marry it? (Shut up)
Chunks the clown he made my mom his wife
Chunks the clown where're you going with that knife?
Never gives me candy or pie
Just bourbon, vodka, gin, or rye
No balloons or birthday cake
Mom you've made a big mistake
And his name was Chunks
Mommy why'd you do it?
Mommy why'd you do it?
Mommy why'd you marry it? (Shut up)
Mommy why'd you do it?
Mommy why'd you do it?
Mommy why'd you marry it? (Shut up)
Chunks the clown he made my mom his wife
Chunks the clown where're you going with that knife?
Hey, kid, your mom blows Chunks
Oh, that makes me kinda queasy, stop it
And tell your dad to forget my birthday next year
He’s not my dad, he’s my step-clown
Chunks the clown he makes the children frown
Chunks the clown he brings all the children down
Chunks the clown he made my mom his wife
Chunks the clown where're you going with that knife?
Geez, Chunks, it’s kinda dark and scary out here in the woods
How do you think I feel kid? I gotta walk outta here alone
Oh.
