Shery Bobbins

Minimum Wage Nanny

Lisa: If you wish to be our sitter,
Please be sweet and never bitter.
Help us with math and book reports,
Bart: Might I add - eat my shorts!

(spoken)
Lisa: Bart!
Bart: Just cuttin' through the treacle.

Lisa: If Maggie's fussy, dont avoid her,
Bart: Let me get away with moider!
Lisa: Teach us songs and magic tricks,
Homer: Might I add - no fat chicks!

(spoken)
Marge: Homer!

Lisa: The nanny we want is kindly and sage,
Homer: And one who will work for minimum wage.
Lisa: Hurry nanny, things are grim,

(spoken)
Grampa: I'll do it!

Bart & Lisa: Anyone but him.

Cut Every Corner

Shery: If there's a task that must be done,
Don't turn your tail and run,
Don't pout, don't sob,
Just do a half-assed job!

If... you... cut every corner
It is really not so bad,
Everybody does it,
Even mom and dad.
If nobody sees it,
Then nobody gets mad,

Bart: It's the American way!

Shery: The policeman on the beat
Needs some time to rest his feet.

Chief Wiggum: Fighting crime is not my cup of tea!

Shary: And the clerk who runs the store
Can charge a little more
For meat!

Apu: For meat!

Shery: And milk!

Apu: And milk!

Both: From 1984!

Shery: If... you... cut every corner,
You'll have more time for play,

Shary & OFF: It's the American waaaaay!

A Boozehound Named Barney

Shery: In front of a tavern,
Flat on his face,
A boozehound named Barney
Is pleading his case.

Barney: Buy me a beer,
Two bucks a glass.
Come on, help me,
I'm freezing my ass.

Buy me brandy,
A snifter of wine.
Who am I kidding?
I'll drink turpentine.

Moe: Move it, ya drunk,
Or I'll blast your rear end.

Barney: I found two bucks!

Moe: Then come in, my friend!

Shery: And so, let us leave
On this heartwarming scene.

Bart: Can I be a boozehound?

Homer: Not till you're fifteen.

Cut Every Corner (Reprise)

Shery: If there's a job that must be done,
You'll find it's much more fun...

(spoken)
Homer: You'll find it's even more fun if you get it for me!

Shery: But the beer will taste more sweet,
If you get up off your seat...

(spoken)
Bart: Lady, the man asked for a beer, not a song!

Shery: Do-re-mi-fa-so...

Happy With Things The Way They Are

Homer: Around the house, I never lift a finger,
As a husband and a father, I'm sub-par.
I'd rather drink a beer
Than win father of the year,
I'm happy with things the way they are.

Lisa: I'm getting used to never getting noticed,

Bart: I'm stuck here till I can steal a car.

Marge: The house is still a mess,
And I'm going bald from stress,
Bart, Marge, & Lisa: But we're happy, just the way we are.

Ned: They're not perfect,
But the Lord says "Love thy neighbour."

Homer: Shut up, Flanders.
Ned: Okely-dokely-do.
Shery: Don't think it's sour grapes,
But you're all a bunch of apes,
And so I must be leaving you!
