Lyrics

[Intro]

This is the greatest and best song in the world

Tribute

[Verse 1]

Long time ago, me and my brother Kyle here

We was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road

All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon

In the middle of the road

And he said

[PreChorus]

"Play the best song in the world

Or I'll eat your soul" (Soul)

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah

Oh, whoa

Ah-whoa-oh

[Chorus]

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

No, this is a tribute, oh

[Chorus]

To the greatest song in the world, alright

It was the greatest song in the world, alright

Yeah, it was the best motherfuckin' song

The greatest song in the world

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

This is just a tribute

You've got to believe me

And I wish you were there

Just a matter of opinion

Ah, fuck!

Good God, gotta love it

So surprised to find you can't stop it

A fiery ring of fire

Rich motherfucker, aw

[Outro]

Alright

Alright
