The Lyrics
I sometimes use supine and porcine as soo-pine and por-sine, respectively, for rhyming purposes.
There's a barbell on you,
And it weighs nine
Hundred pounds, but you just bench two,
So you're cryin',
Fecklessly pryin'.
You know gravity is
Pushin' the bar down,
And concavity is
Your chest's shape; convex is no more found.
There's a barbell on you,
And you're supine,
Sous nine.
More than two
Hundred roost
Top o' you,
Like a moose or a cow,
Or a big bear--
Nearly as heavy. . .
More than a sow.
Can't heave it!
There's a barbell on you,
Pressing your spine.
[fade on sounds of labored groaning]
And it weighs nine
Hundred pounds, but you just bench two,
So you're cryin',
Fecklessly pryin'.
You know gravity is
Pushin' the bar down,
And concavity is
Your chest's shape; convex is no more found.
There's a barbell on you,
And you're supine,
Sous nine.
More than two
Hundred roost
Top o' you,
Like a moose or a cow,
Or a big bear--
Nearly as heavy. . .
More than a sow.
Can't heave it!
There's a barbell on you,
Pressing your spine.
[fade on sounds of labored groaning]
