Lyrics

0:05How many optimists does it take to change a lightbulb
0:09None
0:10Their butler changes the lightbulb
0:15Always poor
0:16Never bored
0:21The S.L.C. want Timmy's student loan back
0:26He'd happily oblige but he's used it all on gak
0:31Always poor
0:32Never bored
0:39One miscarriage
0:40Two abortions
0:41One degree
0:42Seven jobs
0:43Sally danced her socks off as Jesus sobbed
0:48Always poor
0:49Never bored
0:55I could've danced with another
0:59'Cause she passed out on your stairs
1:05Always poor
1:06Never bored
