You say potato and I say three (Repeated 5x)

I am a pinball machine
I can't tell the difference between
My bellybutton or navel
Ping-Pong, pool cue, or a foosball table

Why is it, you ask me why,
I don't know the answer
Why is it, you ask me why,
I don't know the answer

Why is it, you ask me why,
I don't transmit what hits my eye
We're the same
You and me
'Cept you say potato and I say three

I've been thinking of
What I'd rather be
Paramecium is looking pretty good to me
I'd be so small you could not see
I could still be
Your worst enemy

(Mumbling)**

I am a pinball machine
I can't tell the difference between
My bellybutton or navel
Ping-Pong, pool cue, or a foosball table

 

*Not included in the original version on FATBOY.  In fact, the overall structure of the song is different on FATBOY.

**On FATBOY, Rob has a talking part in this section, in which he screams in a ragged, sinister voice:
            "Reality is wasted like the spine of a dog
            Head over backwards just ???
            I know you're the one
            I'll find you, if it's the last thing I do
            (Laughing)."
