Let's Talk About Me
Nathan Pacheco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm Tex Richman, Mr Texas Tea
People call me rich cause I got mo' money
I got more cheddar than some super sized nachos
Got cash flow like Robert has De Niro's
I use more greens than Vincent Van Gogh
I make the baker bake my bread out of dough
No no don't eat it though it'll make you ill
There ain't no flour in a hundred dollar bill

He's Tex Richman
Everybody listen
Just how great it is to be him
(It's great to be me)
He's the greatest
You're the lamest
Muppets are a waste of time
Oh, can't you see

Yeah, it's funny in a rich man's world
When I need a piece of string, I use a string of pearls
If something's for sale, consider it sold
I've got so much gold, I gold plate my gold
I even got a guy to gold plate my cat
I don't regret much, but I do regret that
If I could start all over, I'd do it all the same
Except I wouldn't gold-plate little Twinkles again

He's Tex Richman
Everybody listen
Just how great it is to be him
(It's great to be me)
He's the greatest
You're the lamest
Muppets are a waste of time
Oh, can't you see
(Oh, it's great to be me)

I recall a heartbreaking story
About my own tenth birthday party
Should've been a glorious day for me
I'd have been happy as can be
But the Muppets were there
To put on a show
They started to dance
They were telling their jokes
I didn't laugh
I didn't know how
Then my friends
They all turned around
And they laughed at me
They laughed at me
I hate you, Muppets so

He's Tex Richman
Everybody listen
Just how great it is to be him
He's the greatest
He's the greatest
Muppets are a waste of time
Oh, can't you see





Little Muppets, time to give up your dream

Overall Meaning

The song "Let's Talk About Me" by Nathan Pacheco & Chris Cooper is a satirical take on the character Tex Richman, a wealthy businessman who is determined to destroy the Muppets' theater in order to drill for oil. The lyrics of the song are sung from Tex's point of view and express his arrogance and love of money, as well as his disdain for the Muppets. He compares his wealth to various things such as super-sized nachos, cash flow like Robert De Niro's, and even Vincent Van Gogh's use of greens in his paintings. Tex also boasts about his ability to buy anything he wants, even gold-plated cats, but expresses regret over a particular decision. He mentions a heartbreaking story about his tenth birthday party where the Muppets were present, and although everyone else was laughing, he didn't understand their humor, which resulted in his friends laughing at him. This experience left a lasting impression on Tex and fueled his determination to destroy the Muppets.


The song's lyrics are a commentary on the obsession with wealth and status in today's society. Through the character of Tex Richman, the song highlights the negative consequences of prioritizing money above everything else, including friendships and self-awareness. The lyrics also poke fun at the absurdity of spending exorbitant amounts of money on frivolous things like gold-plated cats while ignoring the more important things in life. By juxtaposing the greed and selfishness of Tex Richman with the lighthearted and joyful spirit of the Muppets, the song emphasizes the importance of finding happiness in simple things and valuing genuine connections with others.
