Should go to work  /  FIGURE MOVES ARMS UP  /  No empty nights  /  FIGURE MOVES HANDS ACROSS BODY  / Smile at the boss when you clock in  /  FIGURE CLAPS DIAGONALLY  /  Brush teeth real good  /  FIGURE PATS EACH HIP  /  Pain in gut: rent or liver trouble  /  FIGURE MOVES HANDS ABOVE RIGHT SHOULDER  /  “Cee-dee rom” /  FIGURE MAKES A HEART SHAPE WITH HANDS  / Should have sex (see: brush teeth) /  FIGURE SPLITS THE HEART SHAPE IN TWO  /  Shoot the president  /  FIGURE WAVES HANDS AROUND HEAD  /  Peaceful absence of thought  /  FIGURE ROTATES RIGHT ARM IN CIRCLE  /  Lil piss on the toilet seat  /  FIGURE REPEATS.
