Larry The Cable Guy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A lot of people like my analogies
And things like 'madder than a
Skinhead watching The Jeffersons'
And things like that so i figured I'd
Give you a bunch of 'em and you can
Tell me if you like 'em or
Not you can take these home and try
'em at work i'm sure, uh
Sure you won't have a job tomorrow if you do
(laughs) Try some of these alright
Madder than a queer with
Tonsillitis on Valentine's Day
More frustrated than an Amish electrician
Madder than Jеsse Jackson at
The airport having
To answer thе white courtesy phone
(laughs) That's funny i don't
Care who you are, that's funny right there!
(laughs) More frustrated than a
Carload of queers
Getting pulled over for doing a 69 in a 55
(raucous applause) We can edit
That out (laughs)
More frustrated than Ray Charles with
A Where's Waldo book
As ridiculous as a one legged man
In a brewery making hops
More frustrated than a fella making love to
A gal with braces on and her
Face sticks to the carpet lord, I
Apologize for that last one there
And be with the pygmies down
There in New Guinea amen
More frustrated than a waterhead putting
On a turtleneck shirt
Madder than a feller with a hangover waking
Up with a fat woman and
A mouthful of flour lord, I apologize
For that one there, too
And be with the pygmies down
There in New Guinea amen (laughs)
I'm so mad I could swallow gunpowder
And two bullets, eat a chalupa
Take off my britches, lay on
My back, spread my asscheeks
Fart and drop a deer from a hundred yards
More frustrated than Christopher Reeve
Doing the hokey-pokey
Lord, I apologize for that joke there, and be
With the pygmies- Hey, thanks a lot
Y'all! You've been a lot of
Fun! Thanks for coming
Out and seeing me! God
Bless America and Git-R-Done!
In the song "People Like My Analogies" by Larry The Cable Guy, the artist is known for his use of humorous and often outlandish analogies. The lyrics reveal his intention of entertaining the audience with his unique comparisons and encouraging them to share these analogies with others.
The first verse sets the tone as Larry suggests that his analogies are greatly appreciated by many people. He mentions a popular analogy about someone being angry, comparing them to a skinhead watching "The Jeffersons," a popular sitcom that portrayed a black family in a predominantly white neighborhood. He then humorously suggests that trying out these analogies at work might cost someone their job, hinting at their potentially offensive nature.
The subsequent lines further exemplify Larry's signature humor and unconventional analogies. He uses comparisons like "madder than a queer with tonsillitis on Valentine's Day" and "more frustrated than an Amish electrician" to evoke laughter from the audience.

The lyrics continue to display Larry's knack for comical analogies as he mentions a scenario involving a carload of queer individuals getting pulled over for exceeding the speed limit while engaging in a sexual act. He acknowledges the potential offensiveness and suggests it should be edited out, acknowledging the line between humor and propriety.
The song goes on to offer more witty analogies such as Ray Charles struggling to find Waldo, a one-legged man in a brewery, and a person dealing with awkward situations during intimate encounters. Larry apologizes for some of the more risqué analogies, explaining that they might not be suitable for all audiences.
Towards the end of the song, Larry presents a particularly outrageous analogy involving swallowing gunpowder, eating a chalupa (a Mexican food item), and performing an unconventional hunting technique. This line exemplifies Larry's embrace of absurdity and shock value in his humor.
As the song concludes, Larry humorously apologizes for a joke referencing the late actor Christopher Reeve, who was paralyzed from the neck down due to a horse-riding accident. He concludes by thanking the audience and expressing patriotic sentiments, showcasing his strong connection to his American fanbase.
