The Mountain Goats — Golden Boy

[Intro] Hello there, Paul! I had a take and I listened to it And I was ready to send it and I thought: You know? It can be done better So here it is, then Now I'm wearing my boots Which always guarantees a good showing [Verse 1] You must try to lead a good life You must do unto others as you would have them do So that when you die, you'll find Golden Boy peanuts Waiting in the afterlife for you [Chorus] There are no pan-Asian supermarkets down in hell So you can't buy Golden Boy peanuts There are no pan-Asian supermarkets down in hell So you can't buy Golden Boy peanuts [Verse 2] If thine enemy oppresseth you You must let him oppress you some more So that when you go shopping in paradise You'll find those magnificent peanuts from Singapore With the drawing of the young Chinese farmer The eastern sun behind him smiling at you from the shelves If we want to spend eternity in happiness Well we're gonna have watch ourselves You must give to the March of Dimes You must be on guard against wickedness at all times And you will find that your efforts have brought you great joy When your spirit is munching on that Golden Boy [Chorus] There are no pan-Asian supermarkets down in hell So you can't buy Golden Boy peanuts there But the streets of heaven are lined with shells And there's billboards of the Golden Boy everywhere [Chorus] There are no pan-Asian supermarkets down in hell So you can't buy Golden Boy peanuts There are no pan-Asian supermarkets down in hell So you can't buy Golden Boy peanuts... GO!
