I hate Mondays Always greet the morning In the afternoon Eat your breakfast quickly Cuz lunch is coming soon Always face the Monday With a teddy bear at your side That’s Pooky! If it gets spooky At least we’ll know we tried Now let’s go see what’s on my schedule? Abuse the dog? Right on schedule! I think today is gonna be special Cuz we’ll laugh and sing and play As Odee dances the ballet (do ballet!) And everything will be okay As long as it’s not a Monday I said do the ballet! Garfeld, be nice to Odee. John, it's not even breakfast time and you're already asking me to be something I'm not. It is far too early in the morning for this kind of treatment. It's one in the afternoon, you lazy asshole! Garfeld, what’s going on? Who are these people? They're the audience, John! Our lives are a musical today! Of course it is. Garfeld and Odee Where did I go wrong? I should’ve gotten goldfish They wouldn’t make me sing a song. I thought pets would help me Live a normal life Instead I get books and hats, stamped with my cat John, hands off my merchandise! Now why don’t you go and make me a snack? Cuz you’re getting my opening number off track! Now I have to win the audience back So would you kindly go away While I jump and sing and sway Cuz everything will be okay As long as it’s not a Monday I said get out! Yeah I heard you, you fuckin’ fat dick. La la la la la la la la Aroooo Yeah, why don’t you just leave it to me? Join us for an hour Watch us sing our songs Forget your cares and worries Cuz here nothing goes wrong! So I hope you’re all ready to have some fun Cuz this flabby tabby is second to none And the adventure has just begun So you can sit back and relax Pull out your candy bars and snacks Laugh at all of my brilliant wise cracks If you don’t like it, kiss my orange ass We’ll laugh and dance and play So I hope to see you stay Cuz everything will be okay As long as it’s not a Monday La la la la la la la GAAAARFELD!

So I’m in love, in case you can’t tell We’ve known each other for 5 years and it seems to be going well I say “the time has come to face it” We’re not children anymore What’s holding us back from taking the next step through the chapel door I want to wake up looking at your expressionless face I want to make this so much more than just another date Can’t you see it’s predestined from above I love your witty sense of humor and how you check Garfield for tumors Paging Dr Lizz, this is Dr Love I remember the first day that we met Odie had worms and I was taking him to the vet I said “I can’t believe this doctor” and we got off to a great start You gave Odie a shot in the anus, and you gave me a shot in the heart. I want to wake up looking at your expressionless face I want to make this so much more than just another date Can’t you see it’s predestined from above I love your ghostly pale complexion and how treat a raging infection Paging Dr Liz this is Dr Love Ooh John, what the hell is going on? Please hold all of your questions until after the key change! Key change? I want to wake up looking at your expressionless face I want to make this so much more than just another date Will you please be my soulmate, be my wife Cuz I love your scary, lifeless eyes Love your lack of figure, ass and thighs Love all your interests, your hobbies And all of your medical degrees And just so I don’t forget, I love the way you neutered both my pets Paging Dr Liz, this is the rest of our lives.

When the universe kicks you in the balls You don’t need to reach for alcohol For there’s a certain recipe That cures whatever’s ailing me Oh I love lasagna It’s my favorite dish Sent down from the Heavens Filling my every wish Nothing gives me more joy Than Italian cuisine Pasta, meat, cheese and Pure dopamine! Oh I love lasagna Eat it all through the night Give it all to me I’ll savor every bite I would be content To eat it every day And whenever I finish Make another tray! Ooh ooh I love lasagna, meow meow meow Odee, what is so important that - Oh my God, is he smoking crack? Fuck, he was six months clean! Uh, there's nothing to look at over there folks! Let's bring the focus back to me! I've got another verse for you! Ready? Oh I love lasagna It’s much better than crack And for all you out there Addicted to smack Garfeld’s got a substitute To help you all quit It’s not a 12 step program It’s lasagna, bitch! If you are an addict Barely clinging to life 877 - 822 - 0485 That is the hotline For substance abuse Because addiction is no joke And God loves you! Ooh ooh I love lasagna meow meow meow What do you want?! Oh God, oh fuck. Would you go do something about that please?! Hey! Get back here you stupid mutt, those are mine! I'll kill you! Oh, shit. Oh I love lasagna Love it deeply within Please just eat lasagna And don’t do heroin Lasagna isn’t outlawed And it won’t cause you pain It didn’t kill Jim Morrison Or Kurt Cobain Oh I love lasagna That’s the point of this song I’m sure you get the idea And you’ve been catching on Basically just know That lasagna’s legit And that alcohol and drug abuse Is fucked up shit Ooh ooh A-ha! Now I've got you, you little shit! Jesus Christ! Ooh ooh. I love lasagna meow meow meow Jesus!

Five years ago I bought a cat To keep me company and that Wasn’t enough so I bought a dog Now in this house that’s full of pets Pill bottles, vodka, and regrets I still sit around and slap my hog Why can’t the hole ever be filled Not even with illegal pills Cheap gin and whiskey, worthless stuff And now the best thing that was in my world My lover Lizz, my golden girl She tells me I’m not good enough She thinks that I’m a nut Well Liz, you know what? It's time, the world will come and see That I’m Jon Arbuckle and you will all remember me I’ll be the man they can’t ignore Put up with this too long, and I won’t take shit anymore And you can’t hold me down if I put you in the ground It’s just the pills saying this now I’ve got to get a grip somehow Side effects include fits of rage This rush that’s soaring through my veins I can’t describe, I can’t explain Someone should lock me in a cage Twenty four years ago when I was six My parents got me a therapist For all my violent tendencies Twenty years ago when I was ten They got me a therapist again For killing our dog, Eloise Carving canines with my knife How did I lose that lust for life? It’s time the world will come and see That I’m Jon Arbuckle and you all will remember me It’s time that I start fighting back You better look out assholes, I’m plotting my first attack You can’t hold me down if I put you in the ground “John, this is your doctor, your mental health has lost control." "John, this is the police, and murder violates parole." "John, this is your mother, and murder is a big no-no." "John, this is Charles Manson, and murder is sooo worth it, bro.” Thought I could make it through this life Settle down with my pets, three children, and a caring wife I guess that love’s just not for me But I can’t fake a life of forced complacent normalcy I wonder if I kill, will the hole inside be filled?

Its hard to know just what to say So I’m apologizing the cowboy way To an old friend who I know that I’ve done wrong I stole your girl, I must confess And it’s causing me serious distress And that’s why I’m a’singin this song Cuz I could have anyone in the world Yet I have to pick the only girl That my former best friend has been loving too And I think of your, well, pathetic life No job, no friends, no sexy wife To ease my sorrows, what’s a man to do? I feel guilty constantly There’s only one thing that helps me And that is I don’t feel guilty when we’re having sex Cuz oh let me tell ya, that shit's the best When I’m inside her, well, everything feels right I don’t feel guilty when we’re bonin When she’s suckin, and I’m moanin Gonna have me some guilt free sex tonight But after I cum, I’m forced to admit That I truly feel like a royal shit I’ve been a rascal Johnny, and a total prick And I say “Lizz, maybe you should give John a chance!” But before I know it, she rubs my pants And soon enough, her mouth is on my dick And I don’t feel guilty when she sucks my cock And says “Lyman, can't you stop all that pussy talk?” Then I clear my conscience all over her face Hard to feel guilty when she takes her gob And she starts slobbin on my knob and I ask her “Girl, how’s that guilt free semen taste?” Can’t get these demons out my head Until little Lizz invites me up to bed I’m not concerned with first rate nerds When we’re discussing our safe words And humping like we’re teenage newlyweds I seem to have gotten a bit off track My point is, I want our friendship back Hope you don’t mind me comin’ back around And if you’re cool with what I do I can make a little deal for you And ask Lizz about a three-way if you’re down And I don’t feel guilty with ménage a trois I don’t care if it violates religious laws Cause when you add a third party, it doubles the fun And I won’t feel guilty when we’re doing anal, cuz lemme tell ya that shit’s insane-al Guilt Free sex is the only way to cum! And after apologizing, you know what’s on my agenda next? Going home and having me some guilt free sex! Sex! Seeeex!

Another day Another lasagna tray To gobble down with such glee No I’m not fat! No you just can’t prove that! Give me evidence and I’ll agree! You may think I'm fat, but isn't that really a matter of opinion? There's no definitive proof you can point to. Therefore, I am innocent until proven chubby! Hello, I am RX-2, your talking scale. I'll be supplying that proof you requested. Hop on, tubby. Uh-oh. Another day A day with RX-2 Who always sets me up to fail But I can’t wait I need to read my weight Why must I be drawn to scale? Alright scale, I don't like you, and you don't like me. So lets just be civil and make this as painless as possible! Painless? With you stepping on me? This will only be painless for me if you've lost 80 pounds! You are proof that artificial intelligence has gone too far! Alright, I'm sorry. I promise to give you a fair, unbiased assessment of your weight. Truce? Truce. Ow ow ow ow, get him off me, get him off me! Just get off! Alright that's it, you're history! She started it. Oh whoopsie! I smashed her battery For telling me that I am fat She had to pay And you know what they say Curiosity killed the cat And this time, it killed the scale! I got no shame, I can’t complain, and here’s the truth: If you fat shame, then you’re to blame, and i will file a harassment suit Seriously you guys, body shaming is no joke. Isn’t that right Odie, you scrawny bitch ass bag of bones? Ha ha...ha. Another day Another lasagna tray To gobble down with such glee No I’m not fat! No you just can’t prove that! There’s not a bit of evidence that I can see! Another day Another day to eat So let the calories prevail I won’t feel bad For the food I had Because I won’t be drawn, he won't be drawn I won’t be drawn, he won't be drawn I won’t be drawn to scale! Drawn to scale!

I’ve heard there comes a time in every person’s life Where they must take a stand and fight for what is right And for us, Garfeld, the time is now Wake up to the world around you cause somehow We’ve got to stop John before he cuts another throat Welcome to the darkest punchline Jim Davis ever wrote We’ll take John down, send him to hell Cuz doing nothing is the same as doing it yourself People You Love Can Do Bad Things And people like you let it slide People You Love can’t be stopped when Their supporters turn a blind eye People We Love Can Do Bad Things But I refuse to stand by We’ll remember all the joy that they bring But we won’t forget that they can do bad things Well, are you in or out? I think you might be taking this a little too far. This is John we're talking about! He's not capable of the things you're accusing him of. So why don't we just relax and make some good, old-fashioned lasagna jokes? Garfeld! Are you really that delusional?! This shit is life or death, can you please be more self-aware? Odee, the audience just doesn’t want to be taken there Let’s keep it light, let’s keep it fun We’ll keep their spirits up til this is done You moron! People You Love Can Do Bad Things And people like you let it slide People You Love can’t be stopped when Their supporters turn a blind eye People We Love Can Do Bad Things But I refuse to stand by We remember all the joy that they bring But we won’t forget that they can do bad things While you've been looking the other way, this is what John has been up to. Maybe this will show you that what we're dealing with is no laughing matter. I’ve never felt so happy I greet this life with a smile Soon I’ll skip down the street, I just can’t wait to meet Every little puppy and child And slit their throats! God, the rush that it brings To me when I do awful things Bad things, bad things, bad things, bad things People You Love Can Do Bad Things It’s staring you right in the face People we love are a menace Wiping out the human race People You Love Can Do Bad Things Fine, I’ll learn from my mistakes And I’ll admit that it stings But we can’t accept/no patience left We can’t stand by/John has to die We can’t ignore/this is a war There won’t be any more Bad things Hey Liz, it's John. Can you come over? I just wanna talk. Bad things, bad things, bad things, bad things.

Welcome back to Garfeld’s show This is Act Two, as you know We thought you’d all disappear You’ve been warned yet you’re still here If you stormed out in a huff We have your cash and that’s enough We've already spent your dough On hookers, crack, and tons of blow Wait now, who’s coming backstage Someone’s flown into a rage Who left the front door open? Fuck! Jim Davis just walked in C’mon, it’s all in good fun Holy fuck! He’s got a gun Don’t shoot me I have two kids I won’t die for this piece of-

House Calls 03:54
Hey Lyman, it’s Lizz It’s been five days and still no word I’m sick of being so concerned And sitting here like a sad sack I told you if you disappear Once more I’d throw you out of here And this time you’re not coming back What I’m saying is we’re through Or in other words...FUCK YOU! Oh what’s a girl to do when She gets blown off by her boyfriend Wait around and cry? You may as well sit alone and die I’m a doctor, I don’t take shit And in bed, I never fake it I demand romance And Lyman, you just blew your last chance Now it’s time to find a rebound Cuz when your relationship is through That motherfucker won’t hold you down Just gotta get your phone and make a few House calls Give your friends a try Get dick on the side You won’t be denied If you give em a house call House calls When your boyfriend checks out And tinder weirds you out Give your dudes a shout And give em a house call Now let’s go see which lucky guy Is gonna come and sleep with me tonight Instead of sitting home alone and jerking off? Answering machine, let’s turn you on. Now who you got? Hey Liz, it’s John. Can you come over? I just want to talk. Oh John, you’re so desperate But I guess I am too, so fuck it. This is not how you’re supposed to be One week after you propose to me Are you back on drugs? Or have you just fallen in love? Your mental health is pretty shaky If you think that you can date me But I hate sleeping alone So I guess I’ll throw you a bone Looks like I just found my rebound Cause when your relationship is through That motherfucker won’t hold you down Now it’s time to see what John can do When I give him a House call Sure, he’s kinda lame Off-putting and strange Still, it’s all the same I’ll give him a house call House call Lyman blew his shot So he can suck my cock I’m walking down the block To give John a house call

Slice Pooky’s Head Cut a bit more Place it inside We’re planting the C4 Give me the bomb Now this is war Don’t even breathe We’re planting the C4 Oh my sweet Lizz You don’t know what’s in store I’ll start with the hands I’m tying up the whore Yes little Lizz Mine forevermore Don’t you wake up I’m tying up the whore Slice Pookie’s Head, Start with the hands Just a little more, mine forevermore Or we’ll soon be dead, you’ll soon be dead We’re planting the C4, I’m tying up the whore Planting the C4, tying up the whore Planting the C4, tying up the whore

The comics are atrocious How do cartoonists have jobs? The only one that was half decent Has to be Calvin and Hobbes But for every Far Side There’s four Dilbert’s in its place Have you read the Hagar the Horrible? That shit’s a fucking disgrace They’re a monochromic fantasy They tell you nothing of reality Dennis the Menace was a failure as a son I bet he was beaten by his father And molested by Mr Wilson Dagwood was abusive, Blondie became a lap dancer And Popeye had a birth defect Charlie Brown had stage 3 cancer When you strip away the fantasy You’re confronted with reality If we die here, I just want the world to know That the comic pages really fucking blow If newspapers are dying, those should be the first to go Because they’re lame and fake and dated And not funny I see now that comic strips Are the lowest form of art Next to musical theater And porn of Lisa and Bart It’s an art form with no relevancy And they’re the last thing that we’ll ever read

Oh I love lasagna, it’s as good as can be Pasta meat cheese and the head of Pooky I murdered your bear and now just for a treat You will all be here watching me as I eat Oh I love lasagna I just can’t get enough Oh I love lasagna Could you hurry it up? Oh Garfeld, be patient, you’ll miss all the fun Don’t forget that I’ll be murdering you after I’m done Oh I love lasagna so much it’s insane It’s almost as delicious as causing you pain You see what you’ve caused, Lizz? You see what you’ve done?! You rejected me baby, but now you can’t run I hope you’re all enjoying how you spent your last night And you know that I’m enjoying eating up this last bite Eh, I’ll save it for later, I’ve got work to do first I’ll murder you three, then lasagna for dessert! Could you please just finish up that lasagna? What are you doing Garfeld?! The C4, Odee! Wait, what's going on? Odee and I planted a c4 inside Pooky's head. But John baked it into the lasagna. Which means that if he eats it all, the bomb will be inside of him. But if he doesn't finish, there's a chance it's still in the tray and it'll explode the room and kill both of us! When does it go off? Midnight, which is in...Ten seconds! ONE TWO THREE FOUR Now, how should I sentence you three to death? Should I slit all of your throats and watch you take your last breath? Dice you up in pieces, make a bloody bisque? Fuck! I feel like Titus Andronicus FIVE SIX SEVEN EIGHT Scream all you want bitch! This is the perfect crime You’ll scream louder when I cut your limbs off one at a time I have a feeling you’ll be nicer once you’re finally deceased But first, I Love Lasagna, so let’s have that last piece NINE. TEN.

I think sometimes we need bad jokes To help us through the pain To be a bit of sunlight That shines on through the pouring rain There’s no right way to handle Learning that death is real To distract us, we must laugh at You slipping on a banana peel We’ve learned that this life is a fucking nightmare Death can come anytime from anywhere Reality is pain and the world isn’t fair And you can lie in bed awake Knowing it’ll never be okay But maybe it’s better just to say Now that was a Monday Now that was a Monday Now that was a Monday But now it’s Tuesday, motherfuckers! 1,2,3,4! La la la la la la la Jokes about lasagna In your repertoire May seem kind of lazy And that’s because they are But we made it through the darkness And according to this cat If things in your life go wrong, just sing this song And solve it with a laugh My boyfriend was murdered! Let’s just laugh! Someone chopped off my testicles! Let’s just laugh! My addiction to lasagna has elevated my cholesterol to life threatening levels and doctors are hypothesizing that I may not even make it to the end of the week! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! So please just try not to be blue We’re all just trying to power through Nobody knows what’s best to do Sometimes your owner tries to murder you And you can lie in bed awake Knowing it’ll never be okay But maybe it’s better just to say Now that was a Monday Now that was a Monday Now that was a Monday La la la la la la la La la la la la la la Aroo oo oo oo oo oo! La la la la la la!
