Come and listen to my story 'bout a man
named 'Jed,'
One of the picks in our pool of the dead.
We put him on our list for the upcoming year,
Little did we know -- he's already outta here!
Dead that is... cold stiff... pushing daisies.
Well the next thing you know ol' Hoot paid the pot,
All the 'festers shouted out: "Is that fair? -- not!"
They said "It's time to get our money back from Trent,"
So they loaded up their cars and off to Webb's they went.
George that is... omelets... hamburgers...
