Do You Even Know What You're Tryin to do?
Do You Even Know What You're Tryin to do?
Oh-Oh!

No I don't believe I do

Well I was trying to make myself a sandwich

Hey, hey, what is goin on, on, nothin, nothin oh!
Every time I ask you what is up, man, you don't never know.

No. I never do. Ho ho ho haw haw.

Do You Even Know What You're Tryin to do?
Do You Even Know What You're Tryin to do?

Hey, hey, who, who, who, who, lost the remote control.
Mmmm not me.
Who, who, who had it last. Baby I don't know.

Did you check the couch cushions?

Do You Even Know What You're Tryin to do?
Do You Even Know What You're Tryin to do?
Woa-Oh!

No. I don't, and this line of questioning is becoming tiresome

Anybody got some hot sauce?

Do You Even Know What You're Tryin to do?
No. I don't know.

Why you spending more on your tv than you spendin on your children yo?
Do you really need to watch that Judge Joe Brown high def and in stereo


When you show up you better be ready to dance at the BloodThirsty Vegans show
Gotta take that love, take it out, spread it around, because love is what makes it go

Go go

I'm trying to use the phone

there is no try. Do or do not.

Oi Oi Oi!
Oi Oi Oi!
Oi Oi Oi!
Oi Oi Oi!
Oi Oi Oi!
