Performed by Myrvold and Moulton

After one whole week of Facebook Like a schmendrick I awake With no Bromo Seltzer handy, I don't even quake.  Conflict's not a new sensation; I've done pretty well, I think. But this ferchachta imitation Put me on the blink  I'm wild again Defiled again Simpering, whimpering, and riled again Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled am I  I couldn't write And wouldn't write Until I could write where I shouldn't spite Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled am I  Lost my head but what of it? My mistake I agree. Wayne's such a laugh, and I love it Although the laugh's on me.  I'll sing to him This spring to him And scatter the allies that cling to him Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled am I  He's kept enough He's schlept enough And yet where it counts he's adept enough Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled am I  A pain he is That Wayne, he is All pwned and I'll bleep him until he is Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled like me.  When he balks he is seeking Words to get off his chest. Editorially speaking He's at his very best.  Oh we've seen a lot I mean a lot But now we're like squabbling teens a lot Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled am I  We're vexed again Perplexed again Thank God we can't be multiplexed again Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled am I  Wise at last My eyes at last Are cutting you down to your size at last Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled no more  Burned a lot But learned a lot And now I'm chagrined 'cuz I'm spurned a lot Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled no more  Couldn't eat  Was dyspeptic Facebook's so hard to bear; Now my gut's antiseptic since  I've been bounced out of there  Romance finis Last chance finis Those ants that invaded these pants finis Befuddled, bothered and bedeviled no more.
