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,
 Bart: It's the American way!

 Shary: The policeman on the beat
 Needs some time to rest his feet.
 Chief Wiggum: Fighting crime is not my cup of tea!
 Shary: And the clerk who runs the store
 Can charge a little more
 For meat!
 Apu: For meat!
 Shary: And milk!
 Apu: And milk!
 Both: From 1984!

 Shary: If... you... cut every corner,
 You'll have more time for play,
 Shary & OFF: It's the American waaaaay
