Lyrics

Fathead

[Intro]

(Hey)

(Hey)

(Hey)

[Verse 1]

Why don't you beat it? Why don't you go away? (Hey)

You smelly butt, why don't you go away? (Hey)

You're just a turd, why don't you go away? (Hey)

Sit on it, nerd, why don't you go away?

[Chorus]

Dummy-dummy-dummy-dummy

Dummy-dummy, why don't you beat it?

Why don't you go away?

(Hey)

(Hey)

[Verse 2]

You little ass face, why don't you go away? (Hey)

Your mother's callin', why don't you go away? (Hey)

Too cool for me, why don't you go away? (Hey)

Punky the fathead, why don't you go away?

[Chorus]

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Baby, when you see me

Why don't you go away?

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Dummy-dummy-dummy-dummy

Dummy-dummy, why don't you beat it now?

Why don't you go away?

(Hey)

(Hey)

[Verse 3]

You think we suck, why don't you go away? (Hey)

Come to the show, why don't you go away? (Hey)

We got your money, why don't you go away? (Hey)

So who's the dope?

Why don't you go away?

[Chorus]

Punky-punky-punky-punky-punky-punk

Go fart in a puddle

Why don't you go away?

[Outro]

Beat it

Scram

Go away

(Hey)
