Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was down in mexico puttin' on a little show but noone was laughin' at the jokes I told no
I guess my perides but trasnlate
then my tummy started rumbling from the tacos I ate
I had to think fast
I toke a chance
I moved the microphone around the back of my pants
would they all laugh

I didn't know
I bent down and let it go
(farts)

(in backgroud) ole cledus!

Its the same around the world
(backup singers)

Even out in budapest
(backup signers)
(farts) is funny
then there was a time I went over to china
I saw the great wall an' I had a great timea
seperated from my tour group a found a litte place an' got some wan-tan soup
I sat with a man named Mr. Mariyachi
he talked to much and ate beef tariyachi
in all of his chatter I thought it wouldn't matter I almost made my own po-po platter

I gave my french giflfreind a bunch of flowers
she leaned over to kiss me
I asked her if she loved me and I said wee-wee(wee-wee)
