“Detachable Penis song”

(spoken)
I woke up this morning with a bad hangover,
And my penis was missing again.
This happens all the time:
It’s detachable.
(sung: detachable penis(this is sung throughout the song from now on)
This comes in handy a lot of the time,
I can leave it at home when I think it is going to get me in trouble,
or I can rent it out when I don’t need it.
But now and then I go to a party, get drunk and can’t,
For the life of me,
Remember what I did with it.

First I looked around my apartment and I couldn’t find it,
So I called up the place where the party was,
They hadn’t seen it either.
I asked them to check the medicine cabinet ‘cos…
…for some reason…
I leave it there sometimes, but…
Not this time.
So I told them if it “pops up” to let me know.
I called up a few people who were at the party, but…
They were no help either.

I was starting to get desperate.

I really don’t like being without my penis for too long.
It makes me feel like less of a man 
and I really hate having to sit down every time I take a leak.

After a few hours of searching the house 
and calling every one I could think of,
I was starting to get very depressed so…
…I went to the Kiev and ate breakfast.

Then as I walked down Sicken Avenue, towards St. Mark’s place,
Where all those people sell used books and other junk on the street,
I saw my penis lying on a blanket next to a broken Toaster-Oven,
Some guy was selling it.
I had to buy it off him

He wanted 22 buck$ but…
…I talked him down to 17.

I took it home,
Washed it off,
And put it back on.

I was happy again.
Complete.
People sometimes tell me I should get it permanently attached but…
…I don’t know.
Even though sometimes it’s a pain in the ass,
I like having a detachable penis. 

Sung: (overlapping)x8
Detachable Penis
Detachable Penis
Detachable, Detachable

Detachable, Detachable, Detachable, Detachable, Detachable…
(Fade out)
