Shary: if there's a task that must be done,
don't turn your tail and run,
don't pout, don't sob,
just do a half-assed job!
if... you... cut every corner
it is really not so bad,
everybody does it,
even mom and dad.
if nobody sees it,
then nobody gets mad,
bart: it's the american way!
shary: the policeman on the beat
needs some time to rest his feet.
chief wiggum: fighting crime is not my cup of tea!
shary: and the clerk who runs the store
can charge a little more
for meat!
apu: for meat!
shary: and milk!
apu: and milk!
both: from 1984!
shary: if... you... cut every corner,
you'll have more time for play,
shary & off: it's the american waaaaay!
