He looked just like a zookeeper in a human zoo
so I said hey man how the [bad word] did they get to you
don't you know us animals need something to do
then I flew
that's when he said

hey, I can't deny it, but I won't say anything
hey, I can't deny it, but I won't say anything
hey, I can't deny it, but I won’t say anything
unless you ask it right

I took my mean machine to the sacramental post
some kid had spilled his wine on the holiest host
and I said ain’t it funny that machines need a ghost
he made a toast
that's when he said

hey, I can't deny it, but I won't say anything
hey, I can't deny it, but I won't say anything
hey, I can't deny it, but I won’t say anything
unless you ask it right

riding to the cemetery in a righteous limousine
I plied the grim proprietor with milk and tangerines
and I said so you're short but are you [bad word] and mean
then he screamed
that's when he said

hey, I can't deny it, but I won't say anything
hey, I can't deny it, but I won't say anything
hey, I can't deny it, but I won’t say anything
unless you ask it right
