Ow!

(Spoken through gritted teeth: “Wanna push it, wanna rip it, wanna kill it!”)

Girls, girls, girls, girls are so polite
They don’t crush everything that they see
You can take ’em to a funky funky forest with big glass spiderwebs
Hangin’ from the ceilin’
They wouldn’t feel the uncontrollable urge
To tip and push and kick and rip and tear and smash and squish and…

Poke and destroy
Poke and destroy
Poke and destroy
I’m a boy, I wanna poke and destroy!
Poke and destroy
Poke and destroy
Poke and destroy
I’m a boy, I wanna poke and destroy!

(Spoken: “Poke and Destroy”)

I want to poke!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

(and destroy!)

Boys, boys, boys, boys are set to kill
They wanna crush everything that they see
You could take ’em to a creepy museum with dinosaur bones
Hangin’ from the ceilin’
They’d feel the uncontrollable urge
To tip and push and kick and rip and tear and smash and squish and’

Poke and destroy!
Poke and destroy!
Poke and destroy!
I’m a boy, I wanna poke and destroy!
Poke and destroy!
Poke and destroy!
Poke and destroy!
I’m a boy, I wanna poke and destroy!

(poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke and destroy!)
I want to poke!

(kick it down, rip it down, burn it down and kick it! Yeah!)
And destroy

(and we’ll do it 500 more times!)

Ahhhh…Ahhhh…Ahhhh…Ahhhh!

Out in the wild with a girl I know
She see a little thing in the sand
She pretend to leave it alone, leave the creature in it’s home
But I don’t understand

If I find a delicate thing
I wonder how it would look split at the seams
Girls talk, say “it’s beautiful”
I gotta poke it to know it, I gotta LIGHT IT ON FIRE AND…

Poke and destroy!
Poke and destroy!
Poke and destroy!
I’m a boy, I wanna poke and destroy!
Poke and destroy!
Poke and destroy!
Poke and destroy!
I’m a boy, I wanna poke and destroy!
Poke and destroy! (and destroy)
Poke and destroy! (and destroy)
Poke and destroy! (and destroy)
Poke and destroy! (and destroy)
Poke and destroy! (and destroy)
Poke and destroy! (and destroy)
Poke and destroy! (and destroy)
I’m a boy, I wanna poke and destroeeeee…ahhh…(cough cough)…ahem!
