- For this plastic Day-Glo flowerpot, dear
- I will swap the toupee' that you got, dear
- Our choice of gifts
- Cause relationship rifts
- As we dance to the Mathom-schism Tango.
-
- Let us clear out our closets today, dear
- For an item we can't give away, dear
- Paisley neckties
- And lacquered cow pies
- As we dance to the Mathom-schism Tango.
-
- By your command
- Before you here I stand
- A dead Smurf in my hand...(yeccch!)
- For some unwitting soul
- Stuffed in a box
- Secured with chains and locks
- Swapped for some argyle socks
- Or a Rainbow Brite punchbowl...
-
- The complete works of Shirley McLaine, dear
- Guaranteed to induce gastric pain, dear
- We lose more friends
- With our weird odds and ends
- As we dance to the Mathom.....schism Tango.
