The Simpsons - Cut Every Corner Lyrics

Alright, children, let's clean up this room
Aww, man
Do we have to?
Now, now, I know a little secret that will make the job go twice as fast

If there's a task that must be done
Don't turn your tail and run
Don't pout, don't sob
Just do a half-assed job

If you cut every corner
It is really not so bad
Everybody does it, even mom and dad
If nobody sees it, then nobody gets mad

It's the American way
The policeman on the street needs some time to rest his feet
Fighting crime is not my cup of tea
And the clerk who runs the store can charge a little more for meat

For meat
And milk
And milk
From 1984

If you cut every corner, you'll have more time for play
It's the American way
