Lyrics:
DAD GOT HIS EAR PIERCED, HE’S 49
UNEMPLOYMENT ISN’T TREATING HIM FINE
HE TRIES ON MY CLOTHES
AS IF THEY’LL MAKE HIM COOLER
MOM’S STILL WORKING ON SOME LAWYER CASE
SHE’S NEVER HERE,
I’M FORGETTING HER FACE
AND I’M AFRAID
OF WHAT DAD MIGHT TAKE UP NEXT
PETER BOOKED HIS NEXT BIG ROLE
BUSSING TABLES
HE SAYS IT’S A STRETCH FOR HIM
BUT ME, SURPRISINGLY,
I’M DOING GREAT,
BECAUSE TODAY
ME AND MR. POPULARITY
WILL BE SPENDING MORE TIME YOU SEE,
‘CAUSE HE NEEDS A TUTOR FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE
UNTIL THE SEMESTER’S END
AND FOR ME THIS IS THE CLOSEST THING
TO HAVING A FRIEND
TWO WEEKS LATER AND THINGS ARE NEAT
SOMETIMES HE WAVES TO ME ON THE STREET,
BUT THAT’S ONLY WHEN
THERE’S NO ONE IN SIGHT
I COULD TAKE IT PERSONALLY,
BUT WE’RE NOT HANGING,
JUST TUTORING AND IT’S FINE -
I UNDERSTAND MY ROLE
BUT TODAY, HE CAME TO ME,
IT WAS KINDA NEW
ASKED IF I WANTED TO SMOKE WITH HIM SOME NIGHT
AND I SAID,
“UM WELL, I’VE NEVER SMOKED BEFORE BUT ALRIGHT!”
ME AND MR. POPULARITY
WILL BE ENGAGING IN ILLEGAL ACTIVITY
GUESS HE’S TIRED OF COMPUTER SCIENCE,
SO NOW I’M GONNA SPEND
A NIGHT GETTING TO KNOW A JOINT -
AND MAYBE A FRIEND
SUCH A STRANGE AND NEW SENSATION
ACTUALLY HAVING A CONVERSATION
FEELING ANXIOUS AND NERVOUS,
BUT HE’S INCREDIBLY CALM
HE TALKS ABOUT FOOTBALL AND GIRLS
HE LIVES IN SUCH A DIFFERENT WORLD
A LIFE HE SEEMS TO PROTECT
SO I NOD, AND I LISTEN AND LEARN
WHILE IT SUDDENLY STARTS TO TURN
THINGS YOU’D NEVER EXPECT
SEEING HE’S SOMEWHAT OF A WRECK
AND THAT’S SOMETHING WE CAN CONNECT ON
DAD NOW LISTENS TO LIL WAYNE
MOM IS STRESSED AND GOING INSANE
AND NORMALLY, I WOULD CARE
PETER’S STILL AUDITIONING
OUT THERE LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM
AT LEAST THAT’S WHAT THEY SAY
BUT ME, REFRESHINGLY, I’M DOING GREAT
I’M APPRECIATING ALL THE TIME I SPEND
‘CAUSE I NEVER KNEW
I NEVER KNEW, BACK THEN THAT
ME AND MR. POPULARITY
WOULD BE SPENDING MORE TIME
YOU SEE, ‘CAUSE HE NEEDED A TUTOR FOR
COMPUTER SCIENCE
BUT THAT WAS WAY BACK THEN
NOW WE LAUGH AND TALK AGAIN AND AGAIN
AND REALLY, I THINK HIM AND ME
ARE POSSIBLY
BECOMING FRIENDS

One of the best ever versions of this song! I've listened to ALOT of them on KZfaq. I like the pace, cadence and just the voice that is ABF! He fits the character so well, and his voice has matured since the Jimmy Awards and DEH. Can't wait to see him in HSMTMTS

I don't think I've ever heard a song with Andrew and was not totally impressed by how precisely he hits the notes! Also is Andrew being type-casted as the awkward person in everything now? He plays it so well! Of course Evan takes the cake with awkwardness, but Linguini and this individual have their moments.

I really am enjoying this song. It came up in a random KZfaq playlist. I remember being 13, 14, 15 and wondering why I wanted attention from “Mr. Popularity” haha. I wonder about about the line “a life he seems to protect.” What’s the motivation here? Also why have the word connect- on? It’s a really good song. 😊

Lyrics: Dad got his ear pierced, he's forty nine, Unemployment isn't treating him fine He tries on my clothes As if it'll make him cooler Mom's still working on some lawyer case She's never here, I'm forgetting her face, And I'm afraid of what dad might take up next Peter booked his next big role, bussing tables He says it's a stretch for him But me, surprisingly I'm doing great Because today Me and Mr. Popularity will be Spending more time you see, cause he Needs a tutor for computer science Until the semesters end And for me, this is the closest thing to having a friend Two weeks later and things are neat Sometimes he waves at me on the street, But that's only when there's no one in sight I could take it personally, But we're not hanging, just tutoring, And it's fine, I understand my role But today, he came to me it was kind of new Asked if I wanted to smoke with him some night, And I said, "Um, well, I've never smoked before, but alright!" Me and Mr. Popularity will be Engaging in illegal activity Guess he's tired of computer science So now I'm gonna spend a night getting to know a joint, And maybe a friend Such a strange and new sensation, Actually having a conversation Feeling anxious and nervous, But he's incredibly calm He talks about football and girls, He lives in such a different world, A life he seems to protect So I nod and I listen and learn As it suddenly starts to turn To things you'd never expect Seeing he's somewhat of a wreck, And that's something we can connect on Dad now listens to Lil Wayne, Mom is stressed and going insane, And normally I would care Peter's out auditioning, Out there living the American dream At least that's what they say But me, refreshingly, I'm doing great I'm appreciating every time I spend, Cause I never knew, I never knew, Back then that Me and Mr. Popularity would be Spending more time you see, Cause he needed a tutor for computer science, But that was way back then, Now we talk and laugh, again and again, And really, I think him and me Are possibly Becoming friends
