[Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus]
Oh how your mom is so inbred
She’s so inbred
Last night I caught your mother
With your brother in her bed
With her brother in bed
Five arms ten legs and four toes
The bitch has got four toes
When you fuck your family I guess
That’s just the way it goes
When you fuck your family I guess that’s
That’s just the way it goes
When you fuck your family I guess that’s
That’s just the way it goes
But don’t worry
Your mom is not the only one
She’s not the only one
‘Cause last night
I caught your dad taking your
Brother’s temperature with his thumb
When I go to your house
I can’t kneel or squat
Don’t kneel or squat
Before you know it your dad will tie
My dick in a knot… with his tongue
When you fuck your family I guess that’s
That’s just the way it goes
When you fuck your family I guess that’s
That’s just the way it goes
