## Lyrics

The echoes of "Plupple Honeymoon " are heard.

**GENE**

*Sometimes your life*

*Don't go exactly how you planned*

*Sometimes your death*

*Don't go exactly how you planned*

**GENE (spoken)**

*Oh, wait, one last thing!*

Instrumental introduction.

**GENE**

*It’s lookin' like I’ve had enough*

*I tried the best I can but I don’t got the stuff*

*I got shot by the Chili Pope*

*It’s easy livin' as a french fry*

*I’m critically acclaimed but now it’s time to die*

*Frankly life’s been pretty dope*

*It’s been a long, hard road for a french fries and corn to walk down*

*Who could’ve ever known the road would lead to...*

*You and me and Soup and Goondis taking on the galaxy!*

*I know that life is crazy*

*But believe me, Maizey*

*You’ll be fine without me here…*

*I mean, I’m just a funny french fries*

*There’s really no need to cry*

*Even though I’m so revered*

Little Mr. B. plays a guitar solo.

**BACKUP VOCALS**

*(Even though I'm so revered!)*

Musical break.

**BACKUP VOCALS**

*(And, I'm sorry, Maizey!)*

**GENE**

*Was livin’ lonely in a future state*

*But I traveled back in time and met my foodie-mates*

*Most of them were witch holograms*

**BACKUP VOCALS**

*(Almost of all them were holograms)*

**GENE**

*The story gets a little dense from there*

*But if you got a brain it’s pretty crystal clear*

*Here, check out this diagram.*

*See a wedding*

*Fell into a witch volcano*

*Then we scrammed*

*And then we landed on the planet of the Plupples, et cetera*

*Now we’re traveling to the past to save our friends and kick some ass!*

**BACKUP VOCALS**

*(Oh, ah!)*

**GENE**

*I know that things seem kinda shitty*

*And that the odds aren’t lookin’ pretty but*

*What’s the point of quittin’ now?*

**BACKUP VOCALS**

*(No, we can never go back!)*

**GENE**

*And I won’t be here to see it*

*But you bet your ass that I believe that*

*You’ll still save the day somehow!*

**BACKUP VOCALS**

*(Maizey’s gonna save the day!)*

**GENE**

*The end is comin’*

*Gonna punch my mortal ticket*

*If I had a fuckin’ bucket then I’d got a hunch I’d kick it*

*And I’m sorry for the cursin’ but I’m feelin’ worse and worse and I don't...*

*I don’t wanna die...*

**BACKUP VOCALS**

*(But I’m probably gonna die)*

**GENE**

*I know it might sound crazy*

*But believe me, Maizey*

*You’ll be fine without me here…*

**BACKUP VOCALS**

*(Oh, ah!)*

**GENE**

*And it’s lookin’ like this french fry’s gonna*

*Take his bow in this Hot Daga*

*I’m dyin’ now, just so it's clear*

**BACKUP VOCALS**

*(This is it, holy shit, this is it, I'm gonna die!)*

**GENE**

*I’ll see you later, pals*

*I'm outta here!*

GENE coughs.

**GENE**

*It’s been a treat…*

*I think I… see Smeech.*

## Notes

In the version of "Believe Me Maizey" posted to the Risky Fixins' Soundcloud, there is a section of Morse code that has been translated as "space and thyme".  It is currently unknown what this could mean or why it was included in the song, but there is speculation that it could be hinting at the title of a future season of the Hot Daga.
