- Bart!
- Go to your room
- Yeah, right...
Trouble...
Well, you're damned if you do (what are we talking about?)
Well, you're damned if you do (where's your sense of humor?)
Well, you're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't
- Bart!
Let me start at the start, then take it away
My name is Simpson, Bartholemew J.
That's Bart, with an art, and a capital B
Then Simp, plus S-O-N, that's me
Introductions aside, let's move right along
You can all sing along at the sound of the gong
Once upon a time, about a week ago
All of a sudden, trouble started to grow
Alarm was buzzin', I was snoozin'
Supposed to get up now, but I was refusin'
To let reality become an intrusion
'Cause in dreamy-dream land, I was cruisin'
But the buzz kept buzzin', my head kept buzzin'
Gave the radio a throw, and heard an explosion (d'oh!)
Opened up my eyes, and to my surprise
There stood Homer, and his temperature risin'
I was chillin', he was yellin'
Face all distorted, 'cause he was propellin'
It wasn't what he said, but more of his tone
The usual jive, put your nose to the grindstone
I said "I'm real sorry", but that didn't cut it
I started to protest, but Dad said "shut it
Get up, mow the lawn, move it on the double
'Cause if you don't, you're in deep, deep trouble
Trouble
Deep, deep trouble
Run into trouble (where's your sense of humor, man?)
Deep, deep trouble, and they go a little something like this, yeah
So I'm in the front yard, mowin' like crazy
Sweatin' like a pig and the sun is blazing
Homer's in the driveway, getting in the car
With Mom and Lisa, hope they're going real far
Then dad yells "Bart!" and I go "yo!"
He goes "you done yet?" and I go "no"
So he goes "oh, you're too slow"
So I step on the gas, to speed up the mow
Didn't see that sprinkler underneath that tree
Wham, ccchhh, pssshh, raining on me
I go "whoa", Homer goes "d'oh
Now, you can't go to the boatshow"
This is my thanks after working my butt off?
Homer revs the motor and they all start to putt off
Soaked to the bone, standing in a puddle
No one needs to tell me I'm in deep, deep trouble
Trouble (go to your room, Bart, yeah right)
Deep, deep trouble (go to your room, Bart, oh, gimme a break)
The young begins the trouble (well, you're damned if you do, I know the answer, well, you're damned if you do)
Deep, deep trouble (well, you're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't, come on, come on, d'oh)
As soon as they're gone, I'm stretched on the lawn
Lookin' at the sky with my sunshades on
Now, I've never ever claimed that I was a smarty
But inspiration hits me, let's have a party
Called up my posse, they were here in a flash
They brought all their pals, we started to thrash (oh yeah)
There was romping and stomping, an occasional crash
A fist fight or two, and Nintendo for cash
We raided the fridge, dogs raided the trash
I got a little worried when the windows got smashed
The next thing you know, Mom and Dad are home
The kids disappear and I'm all alone
Everything's silent except for my moan
And the low, bluesy tone of a saxophone
They look at me, then they go into a huddle
Get this sinking sensation I'm in deep, deep trouble
Trouble (d'oh, Bart, oh, gimme a break)
Deep, deep trouble (hey, what is this?, get along)
Don't keep trouble (go to your room, oh yeah, Bart, go to your room, oh well)
Deep, deep trouble (go to your room, okey dokey, Bart, come on, come on)
There's a little epilogue to my tale of sadness
I was dragged down the street by His Royal Dadness
We rounded the corner and came to a stop
Threw me inside Jake's Barber Shop
I said "please Sir, just a little off the top"
Dude shaved me bare, gave me a lollipop
So on my head, there's nothing but stubble
Man, I hate being in deep, deep trouble
Trouble (well, you're damned if you do)
Trouble, trouble (well, you're damned if you do)
Deep, deep trouble (well, you're damned if you do)
And you're damned if you don't (aw come on, man)
Nothing but trouble (well, you're damned if you do, what are we talking about, well, you're damned if you do)
Deep, deep trouble (where's your sense of humor, well, you're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't)
Trouble (d'oh, hey)
Deep, deep trouble (ha ha ha ha ha)
Deep, deep trouble
