lyrics

OAK

Dean. Never been to a Value Barn before, Victor.


Victor. That’s because they started going out of business years ago.
There was some sort of regulation problem with the lead paint
they used.


Dean. Is it the next exit?


Victor. Yeah, Dean, and you want to take the third right after the
light.


Dean. I’m not going to get lead poisoning, am I?


Victor. You should be more worried about the asbestos, it’s every-
where in Value Barn. Also, they sell used kids’ toys at twen-
ty-five percent off Saturdays, which is today, bargain hunter.

Dean. I don’t even have kids! What kind of place are we going to,
Victor?


Victor. Just thought you should consider it, you could make some
good money, like $10 off a $30 investment. Just put your shirt over your nose and don’t touch the walls. Oh, man, this is a thrill going in for the deal. We’re going to make bank, I know it.

Sean. Well, here we are.


Cashier. Welcome to the barn, hope you barn’t going to leave.

Dean. That’s creeper as fuck, Victor. Let’s go.


Victor. Hey, Dean, look, there’s still stuff in the dollar bin.


Dean. I think they put a $1 sign on the recycle bin.


Victor. Don’t be stupid, you can’t recycle lettuce.


Dean. I don’t think that’s lettuce.


Victor. This furniture is amazing, I think it’s a little out of our bud-
get, though.


Dean. This table looks like real oak, and it’s only $50. Look, Victor.

Victor. It’s real oak, all right, I can smell it. Have a smell, Dean.

Dean. If you say so. (Cough. Cough.) Oh my god, I can’t stop cough-
ing. (Cough. Cough.)


Victor. Relax, Dean, let’s buy this thing and go. Wow, it’s light for oak.

Dean. It’s plastic.


Victor. Even better, we can keep it outside. (Cough.)
