Tribute

(album: Tenacious D - 2001)

This is the greatest and best song in the world.
Tribute.

Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here:
We was hitchhiking down a long and lonesome road.
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon in the middle of the road.
And he said,

"Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your soul."

Well, me and Kyle: we looked at each other, and we each said, "Okay."

And we played the first thing that came to our heads,
Just so happened to be
The best song in the world,
It was the best song in the world.

Look into my eyes and it's easy to see
One and one make two, two and one make three,
It was destiny.

Once every hundred-thousand years or so,
When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow,
And the grass doth grow.

Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
A whip-crack went his whippy tail,
And the beast was done.
He asked us, "Be you angels?"
And we said, "Nay. We are but men."
Rock!

This is not the greatest song in the world, no.
This is just a tribute.
Couldn't remember the greatest song in the world, no.
This is a tribute, oh, to the greatest song in the world, alright!
It was the greatest song in the world, alright!
It was the best motherfucking song, the greatest song in the world. Alright!

And the peculiar thing is this, my friends:
The song we sang on that fateful night: it didn't actually sound anything like this song.

This is just a tribute!
You gotta believe it!
And I wish you were there!
Just a matter of opinion.

Ah, fuck! Good God, God loving,
So surprised to find you can't stop it.
A fiery ring of fire,
Rich motherfucker
Alright! Alright!
