Foam so big you can't deny that He's prankster Peabody, causing trouble all day Jackin' with the neighbors in a juvenile way (uh-huh) [Chorus] Knockin' on doors in the middle of the night Thumbing doorbells and taking flight He's got no regard, he doesn't care Until one victim comes along with a dare and says... Gonna call the city, gonna call the city, gonna call the city and {BITCH!) Gonna call the city, gonna call the city, gonna call the city and (BITCH) [verse 2] Dave crawls outa bed, it’s the middle of the night Drags himself downstairs, hits the lights Nobody at the door, nobody there Where has Peabody gone? (EVERYWHERE) [Chorus] Knockin' on doors in the middle of the night Thumbing doorbells and taking flight He's got no regard, he doesn't care Until one victim comes along with a dare and says... Gonna call the city, gonna call the city, gonna call the city and {BITCH!) Gonna call the city, gonna call the city, gonna call the city and (BITCH) [Bridge] Does he know, does he care? About the damage he’s done, to the people out there? Does he lay awake at night, thinking about his deeds Wondering, postulating, about the lyrical fodder he feeds But he’s Peabody, and we can only pray Add throw our hands up, and say… [Chorus] Until one victim comes along with a dare and says... Gonna call the city, gonna call the city, gonna call the city and {BITCH!) Gonna call the city, gonna call the city, gonna call the city and (BITCH)
