V6-WILD

Okay... one year later... I took a class this time
Community center, Tuesdays and Thursdays
Got a certificate and everything
Ethel, you can take your hearing aids out... I know what I'm doing now

Got my reading glasses on a brand new chain
Labeled every button so I won't do it again
"Play" is green and "Stop" is red
Printed out the manual, read it twice in bed

Booked to headline at the haunted house
Fog machine rolling, quiet as a mouse
I hit the cue right on the count of four
...and the zombies started yawning by the creaking door

Huh. That's... technically correct
Why is everybody checking their phones?

Where's the glitch? (Where's the glitch?)
Where's the mess? (Where's the mess?)
Grandpa got too good at this... we want LESS!

Uh oh... who turned off the full moon?

Lights out, Boomer's back!
(BOOMER BEATS! BOOMER BEATS!)
Fumblin' in the dark, now the bass goes WHACK!
Pressed the wrong thing (PRESS IT AGAIN!)
Lost my glasses (LEAVE 'EM, MY FRIEND!)
Midnight on the dance floor, monsters everywhere
Accidental genius spinning... I don't know where!

Grabbed a flashlight, turned out it was a candy bar
Dropped it on the mixer, now it's sounding like a star
A vampire tripped and hit the scratch so hard
The skeleton yelled "DROP IT!" ...from the graveyard yard

My cardigan sleeve caught on the echo knob
Ghost in the corner screaming "That's the job!"
The old DJ texting "BRUH. THE ONE."
I texted back "Is this good? I think my hearing's done"

Where's the glitch? (RIGHT HERE!)
Where's the mess? (RIGHT HERE!)
Grandpa can't find nothin' and the whole place cheers!

So wait... a year of lessons... a certificate...
And the best part was when the power went out?
(Grandson, far away:) GRANDPA, KEEP IT RANDOM!
Buddy, I've been telling you... I still can't find the power button!

Put your glasses on! (ON!)
Drop 'em on the floor! (FLOOR!)
Push a random button! (WHAT'S IT DO?)
Nobody knows, do it more!
Witch on a broomstick, werewolf in a mask
Everybody fumble, that's the only task!

Ethel... I tore up my certificate
(Ethel:) Harold, that's FIRE.
...I still don't know what that means

Well, I've got a TaskRabbit job at 8...
Somebody needs help with a "smart" doorbell

Oh no.

BOOMER BEATS!
