lyrics

I do try to be small and demure
And it's aesthetics that I'm doing it for
I'm so light and polite and I'd never harm a hare
In fact I can't get up out of my chair

There's a world of great causes to support
In fact there's so many that I feel a little short
Catch the word on the street (forty stories in the air)
And I can't get up out of my chair

Justification!
My vacation days are gone
I feel I can't go on
Justification!
Stimulation to the brain
What really did I gain?
Just a hundred thousand dollars down the drain

I've got no real complaints with this town
But its immensity can sure get you down
So many happening streets and there's music everywhere
And I can't get up out of my chair

Checking out my new exercise kit
With a big fat bowl of Alpha-Bits
Got the videotape on and my manly chest is bare
But I can't get up out of my chair

Justification!
My vacation days are gone
I feel I can't go on
Justification
What my nation does for me
Protects my liberty
So I can pick up trashy channels on TV

Well, I wish I had more to confess
But the monsignor wouldn't take down my e-mail address
So trust me I'm deep
Now let me get some sleep
'Cause I can't get up out
I can't get up out
I can't get up out of my chair
