so let me tell you how this all came to be

I'm doin' this here rap for your safety

so all you kids don't mess up like me

and be disowned by your family



so check it, this is how it all began

I was chillin', eatin' some raisin bran

I decided it was time to get a tan

so I grabbed my scissors and then I ran



I forgot my house was two stories tall

I missed the first step and began to fall

What happened next I could not recall

I was impaled by the scissors and thats not all



I thought I could get some help on the street

I got run over by a fucking Jeep

the rest of this mess I will not repeat

to help keep your lunch, I've been discrete



(box / the boxman / he's the boxman / he's the boxman / he's a box / he's a boxman / boxman / he's a box / man)



I woke up in a strange location

some dirty bum had an explanation

apparently he had no education

he turned my body into an abomination



he said he found me on the road nearly dead

it was necessary he fix my torso and my head

he had no human parts so he used a box instead

the news was so overwhelming that I fled



(box / the boxman / he's the boxman / he's the boxman / he's a box / he's a boxman / boxman / he's a box / man)



[yo, what's up homie, you know that boxman?

yeah, he used to be a part of my clique

yeah, well what about now?

I don't know man, he can suck my --]



it's hard to live with a body of cardboard

you'd think with this cute smile I'd be adored

but since the accident I've always been ignored

I trust one day that my hope will be restored



I'd like to meet a girl who likes me for me

but of course no girl likes a guy made of tree

I get so desperate that a cry and I plea

I'd even take a fat girl to a tolerable degree



I guess it ain't that bad to be a box like me

hey, at least I ain't Mary-Kate or Ashley

if I ever want to travel across the sea

I disguise myself as a package and fly for free



Well the moral of the story is airfare's expensive as hell

so that's the end of my tale, so long, and farewell



(box / the boxman / he's the boxman / he's the boxman / he's a box / he's a boxman / boxman / he's a box / man) (x3)
