about

A song about a sleepover that went disgustingly wrong.

lyrics

Here's a little story about a man named Hen.
Told him he could sleep over but not in my bed.
Gave him a little blanket and it was red.
But the next morning it didn't look the same.
'Cause Henry came.

I woke up from a pleasant dream.
And I saw Hen laying in a puddle of cream.
Then I said "What happened here? It looks like you've been jerking you queer."
"I swear it's only spilled milk he said."
But everyone knows milk don't come out of your head, Hen.

Smokey, he used to be red, but now he's white.
Ever since Hen slept over that night.
Poor Smokey he'll never be the same.
Even though I washed him again and again.
Hen. Because of Hen.

Ever since that fateful night.
Me and that pervert have been in a fight.
He keeps calling and asking to come over.
And I keep telling him already he has. Hen.
He already has.

Smokey, he used to be red, but now he's white.
Ever since Henry slept over that night.
Poor Smokey he'll never be the same.
Even though I washed him again and again.
Hen. It's all your fault Hen.

And that my friends is the tale of old Smokey
