I was tAhrown out of the cGrib into the sDnow.
I was bAorn to enterGtain, so here i Dgo.
DNot easy, but your hands around my neck could be consGtrued as your being rudDe.
DFind the dinner gong, put down my fork, start my song cause I Gcould be
anything you want me tDo be. 
Top or bAottom. Face the moGnster, let him Dknow.
I was bAorn to enterGtain, so here i gDo.
