T-Shirt on a T-Shirt

[intro] Hey! Hey! Check out this shirt! [verse 1] Walked in the room, everybody stared Thought maybe spinach stuck in my hair But my friend said, “Wait… what’s that print?” Your shirt’s got a shirt on it Printed cotton paradox Fabric inside a fabric box Zoom in closer, take a look My wardrobe broke the rulebook [pre-chorus] Hold up—wait—look again That shirt’s wearing a shirt my friend [chorus] It’s a t-shirt with a t-shirt on the t-shirt And the t-shirt on the t-shirt’s got a t-shirt too Just a shirt wearing a shirt wearing a shirt wearing a shirt Now my brain doesn’t know what to do It’s a t-shirt with a t-shirt on the t-shirt And it keeps going smaller endlessly If the shirts go on forever Where does the first one even be? [verse 2] Teacher said it hurts her head Grandma said, “Go back to bed” My buddy tried to count the layers Now he’s staring at the stairs Look real close, don’t blink your eyes There’s a smaller shirt inside Tiny cotton copy there Wearing yet another shirt [pre-chorus] Wait—hold up—look again The shirts don’t ever end [chorus] It’s a t-shirt with a t-shirt on the t-shirt And the t-shirt on the t-shirt’s got a t-shirt too Just a shirt wearing a shirt wearing a shirt wearing a shirt Now my brain doesn’t know what to do It’s a t-shirt with a t-shirt on the t-shirt And it keeps going smaller endlessly If the shirts go on forever Where does the first one even be? [bridge] Somewhere in that tiny print A tiny shirt might also think “Why am I wearing another shirt That’s wearing another shirt… I think?” [post-chorus] Shirt on a shirt On a shirt on a shirt On a shirt on a shirt On a shirt! [outro] If you see me walking down the street Don’t stare too long or you might repeat A t-shirt with a t-shirt on the t-shirt [end]
