Foofin’ down the street
Starin’ at my feet
Had to grab somethin’ to eat
Grabbed a coffee with Pete
The neighbors say they feel my heat
I guess it’s ‘cause I’m so elite
I ate tofu, Pete ate the meat (He ate the meat, man)
I had fries and Pete had beets
Oh no, I won’t
I won’t be your block of wood
Oh no, I won’t
I won’t be your block of wood with a staple in it
You can try to take out my staples
You can try to take all my basil, but no
But no
I won’t be your block of wood with a staple in it
I asked Pete “Do you want some pie?”
He said no but it was a lie
I thought he was an honest guy
I noticed he loosened his tie
I stomped my foot and said "Goodbye!"
"But Pete, Pete, Pete, why?"
And Pete said "Just because I'm sly"
I almost broke down and cried, but then I said
Oh no, I won’t
I won’t be your block of wood
Oh no, I won’t
I won’t be your block of wood with a staple in it
You can try to take out my staples
You can try to take all my basil, but no
But no
I won’t be your block of wood with a staple in it
I left the coffee shop
I went to the bus stop
Talked to a dirty old mop
He said to run away and hop
Oh boy!
Oh no, I won’t
I won’t be your block of wood
Oh no, I won’t
I won’t be your block of wood with a staple in it
You can try to take out my staples
You can try to take all my basil, but no
But no
I won’t be your block of wood with a staple in it
