Cut every corner

Shery: If there's a task that must be done,
Don't turn your tail and run,
Don't pout, don't sob,
Just do a half-assed job!

If... you... cut every corner
It is really not so bad,
Everybody does it,
Even mom and dad.
If nobody sees it,
Then nobody gets mad,

Bart: It's the American way!

Shery: The policeman on the beat
Needs some time to rest his feet.

Chief Wiggum: Fighting crime is not my cup of tea!

Shary: And the clerk who runs the store
Can charge a little more
For meat!

Apu: For meat!

Shery: And milk!

Apu: And milk!

Both: From 1984!

Shery: If... you... cut every corner,
You'll have more time for play,

Shary & OFF: It's the American waaaaay!
