Tacky

by Al Yankovic


Lyrics:

It might seem crazy, wearing stripes with plaid
I Instagram every meal I've had
All my used liquor bottles are on display
We can go to see a show but I'll make you pay... huh

Because I'm tacky
Wear my belt with suspenders and sandals with my socks
Because I'm tacky
Got some new glitter Uggs and lovely, pink-sequined Crocs
Because I'm tacky
Never let you forget some favor I did for you
Because I'm tacky
If you're okay with that, you might just be tacky too

I meet some chick, ask her this and that (yeah)
Like, "Are you pregnant girl, or just really fat?" (what?!) (yeah)
Well, now I'm droppin' names almost constantly (yeah)
That's what Kanye West keeps telling me
Here's why

Because I'm tacky
Wear my Ed Hardy shirt with fluorescent orange pants
Because I'm tacky
Got my new resume, it's printed in Comic Sans
Because I'm tacky
Think it's fun threatening waiters with a bad Yelp review
Because I'm tacky
If you think that's just fine, then you're probably tacky too (hey) (come on) (huh)

(Tacky) Bring me shame... can't nothin'
(Tacky) Bring me shame... I've never known why (shame) (what?)
(Tacky) Bring me shame... can't nothin' (huh)
(Tacky) Bring me shame... I said (tell you now)
(Tacky tacky tacky tacky) Bring me shame... can't nothin'
(Tacky tacky tacky tacky) Bring me shame... it's pointless to try (shame) (what?)
(Tacky tacky tacky tacky) Bring me shame... can't nothin'
(Tacky tacky) Bring me shame... I said

Because I'm tacky
43 Bumper Stickers and a "YOLO" license plate
Because I'm tacky
Bring along my coupon book whenever I'm on a date
Because I'm tacky
Practice my twerking moves in line at the DMV
Because I'm tacky
Took the whole bowl of restaurant mints - hey, you said they're free!

Because I'm tacky
I get drunk at the bank and take off my shirt at least
Because I'm tacky
I would live-tweet a funeral, take selfies with the deceased
Because I'm tacky
If I'm bit by a zombie, probably not telling you (hey-hey)
Because I'm tacky
If you don't think that's bad, guess what? Then you're tacky, too
Come On
