You know we love you, Nietzsche And all of your friends have come to see you, Nietzsche So let us see you, Nietzsche Everyone's waiting, Nietzsche Don't be so sneaky When he smeared a candy bar across your face with a gloveless hand I thought you'd never stop lashing the Swede My, what a strange day (What a strange day) For poor little Nietzsche Why so forlorn? You know we love you, Nietzsche And all of your friends have come to see you, Nietzsche So let us see you, Nietzsche Everyone's waiting, Nietzsche Don't be so sneaky What more could be done on a day like today Than to lock up your heart and quickly swallow the key?
