The Name Game Gone Wrong

[Verse 1] I walked into a brand-new town, Shook some hands, looked around. Said, “Hi, I’m Quinn,” all nice and neat— They said, “We’ve got some folks you oughta meet.” [Chorus] Seymour Butts, Hugh Jass, Tess Tickle too, Every time I said their names I blushed right through. I swear they’re real, but it feels untrue, The whole town’s laughin’, what can I do? [Verse 2] Met Phil McCracken at the local store, Asked Ben Dover to hold the door. Called out, “Hey, Al Beback!”—he waved goodbye, Now everyone’s doubled over, I don’t know why! [Chorus] Seymour Butts, Hugh Jass, Tess Tickle too, I tried to stay polite like strangers do. It’s hard to keep a straight debut, When every name’s a deja-who! [Bridge] I thought it was fate or cosmic art, But maybe this town’s just really smart. They live for pranks and puns and cheer, I’m the tourist of the year! [Verse 3] Now I’m in on the joke myself, Got a nametag: Anita Help. We laugh all night at the café bell, Welcome to the town of L.O.L! [Final Chorus] Seymour Butts, Hugh Jass, Tess Tickle too, They’ll greet you kindly, then giggle at you. If you visit there, here’s your clue— Take a name that’s funny too! [Outro – spoken, chuckling] “Nice to meet you, Ima Friend…” “…no really, that’s my name.”
