[Intro] Pan on the stove Butter melting slow Bread looking golden This was under control I had a vision I had a plan Perfect grilled cheese In my hand I turned around for one second— …Why do I smell smoke? WHY DO I SMELL SMOKE?! [Verse 1] Little too quiet Little too still Flip it too late Now I know the deal One side golden Other side black There’s no coming back From a burn like that I wave it around Like that’s gonna help Open a window Try to save myself But it’s already Too far gone …oh no. [Chorus] SMOKE ALARM! SMOKE ALARM! NOW THE WHOLE HOUSE KNOWS I’M WRONG! SMOKE ALARM! SMOKE ALARM! I WAS GONE FOR ONE SECOND, NOT LONG! [Verse 2] Fan on high Window wide I’m flapping bread Like I’m fighting for my life Dish towel waving Panic mode This grilled cheese Has exposed me to the world Neighbors listening Dogs start to bark All this noise ‘Cause I burnt some carbs I didn’t mean For this to escalate [Band stop] It was supposed to be lunch. [Chorus] SMOKE ALARM! SMOKE ALARM! ECHOING LIKE A FIRE DRILL GONE WRONG! SMOKE ALARM! SMOKE ALARM! ALL THIS CHAOS FOR A SANDWICH GONE WRONG! [Bridge] Let’s review the situation. Bread. Cheese. Butter. A simple concept. I turned away… For ONE moment… And now— I am standing here… In a kitchen full of smoke… Being judged… By a ceiling device. [Final Chorus] SMOKE ALARM! SMOKE ALARM! SINGING LIKE IT WANTS ME GONE! SMOKE ALARM! SMOKE ALARM! THIS IS PUBLIC SHAME BROADCASTED ON! TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF! [Outro] Standing on a chair Trying to reach Smacking the alarm With a slice of burnt cheese … [Final line] I’m ordering takeout.
