Careless
I guess I lied to you when I told you I like baseball
It's not so much the game I like, it's the hats
Ed, Do you see this black band 'round my neck? Oohh yeah
It's not just fashion! Oh really?
Hartz made it to protect me from ticks, fleas, and gnats,
I couldn't care less, what's in a chocolate mousse?
I couldn't care less, what are the five fruits in Five-Alive juice?
I couldn't care less, how old are Ernie and Bert?
I couldn't care less, where does Barney Rubble work?
Well Shaggy said to Velma, "Hey now, Velma, how ya doin'?"
It's really happening, the cartoon-
And Velma said, "Gees, Shag, I'm just fine."
And Daphne said to Fred, "Hey, let's get drunk down in the forest."
And all night Fred was yackin' up red wine
I couldn't care less, why was Fonzie cool? He was kinda goofy lookin'!
I couldn't care less, are the sweat hogs still in school? You know that I...
I couldn't care less, how do they fill the caramel bar? The eighth wonder of M-
I couldn't care less, if my car says the door is ajar?
Steve: That's quite a fancy car you've got there Ed
Ed: Yeah, it's a fancy car but it's a little misleading though,
I was trying to unscrew the lid of my car for ages!
Steve: Childproof!
Well I wish I had a nickname like Crusher, Snake, or Kenneth
'Cause guys with nicknames always get the gals
When I grow up I'll name my children Alice, Albert, and Alfred Really cool names
I'll call them for supper like this; "Dinner's ready, Als!"
Ed: And all my kids will all come down.
Steve: Because if you shorten Alice Albert and Alfred down to Al
it really enconomises on, ah-
Ed: Well, what with the sort of energy conservation push through
the seventies-
Steve: Well I mean conserve on (laughs)-
Ed: You know-
Steve: That's right-
Ed: Conserve the energy by calling them all with one name and the
Kraft dinner is still warm when they get there.
I couldn't care less, what Morton Downey says?
I couldn't care less, what's on the head of my Pez?
I couldn't care less, do zoodles need a trained zookeeper?
I couldn't care less, why's the Super Big Gulp cheaper?
Steve: I mean really that just plain stupid-
Ed: A bit of a crazy thing goin' on there-
Steve: If anybody goes out to a Seven Eleven store, I mean,
Perhaps out East you might not, but ah, I mean the Super Big Gulp-
Ed: Do you know-
Steve: It's less than the Big Gulp and it's bigger.
Ed: Like Forty ounces more pop for thirty cents less
doesn't make sense to the Barenaked Ladies,
Ed: And another thing, I was in a Seven Eleven the other
day that had Slush Puppies and the Rasberry ones are blue!
Ed: I don't get it!
I couldn't care less, what's in a chocolate mousse?
Ground-up antlers
I couldn't care less, what are the five fruits in Five-Alive juice?
Apples, cheese, broccoli, permento and piglet.
Steve: I was reading it right off the label!
Ed: I know. :)
I couldn't care less, how old are Ernie and Bert?
They're like four or something...
But maybe they're like forty but live together without any parents
which is kinda weird
I couldn't care less, where does Barney Rubble work?
Nobody knows!
I couldn't care less, I couldn't care less,
I couldn't care less, I couldn't care less,
I couldn't care less
Rock and Roll!
