lyrics

Weeelll there
once was a boy, oh boy a boy who had a favorite friend and
that friend was a girl what a girl was a girl
That he wanted to ask to prom
Their re--lationship was chill
You're moronic, just platonic
But he really wanted to ask her so
He asked all of his friends
his other friends
to help ask her to prom.
Well one tall and skinny guy had a florist's eye
and helped him pick out flowers
And a ginger-haired girl
With a laugh and a twirl
Agreed to let him use her car
And I was there too
They picked me up at noon
My job was to take pictures
But I also staked out
Where the girl had gone
She hadn't gone too far
So I chilled in her house
Like a mouse in her house
And enlisted her sister
Who agreed to help out
With a happy shout
Agreed to help the mister
So we waited a while
Well it felt like a while
Until the girl got home,
then the boy rang the bell
And her mother said well and he said
Can I see her?
Is she here yet?
She came to the door
To the open door
and he gave her the flowers
And she jumped up and down
Like a circus clown
And them smiled for hours
He texted his mom
That she'd said yes
She said congratulations
and his prom date's dad
Her mom and her dad
Asked me if he was OK.
I said yes, how could I have not said yes, this guy's the bomb dot com
and the girl and her sister and her other friends
And her dad and her dog and her mom all said
They're going, They're going, to prom.
