The Lyrics
Gewgaws, Gewgaws
Gewgaws—
Don't waste your money.
Stuff's made in the third world,
And it's prob'ly toxic, too.
Bunnies,
Figurine gewgaws:
You've got a plastic girl;
You pretend she wants you too.
There's that blown-glass beaver that you got from Uncle Stu
(He has no taste, Uncle Stu).
The golden retriever made from fake hair, foam, and glue
(Made from fake hair, foam and glue).
Gewgaws—
Don't waste your money.
Stuff's made in the third world,
And it's prob'ly toxic, too.
Bunnies,
Figurine gewgaws:
You've got a plastic girl;
You pretend she wants you too.
How'd I miss the "pearl"
Earrings? They're polyethylene
(Earrings are polyethylene).
Little "still" for "moonshine"—
What the hell, pour one for me
(What the hell, pour one for me).
Gewgaws—
Don't waste your money.
Stuff's made in the third world,
And it's prob'ly toxic, too.

Gewgaws? You've got serious stones, JB, to through vocabulary like THAT around here. No, I don't know what it means either!
