[Applause]
when I was eight years old
it seemed like my whole life was devoted
to one thing acquiring candy for a candy
mogul like myself the biggest day of the
year was not Christmas here you go or
even my birthday alone it was Halloween
that's right the whole candy fiscal year
revolved around October 31st which is
why every year a month before Halloween
mom issued a moratorium on the sweet
stuff no candy until the 31st every year
I barely made it to Halloween oh you're
no football and then one year I didn't
oh dear the engines when we go grab me
two onions really good then get the
source of what and I help you find
something just browsing checking on your
display looks really a spiffy keep up
the good work sonic all in there let's
go what are you so jumpy about well um

ridiculous questions

place where you learn three r's here you
learn about life and with that in mind
it is my great honor to introduce police
chief Perkins and three very special
guests now pay attention

come down here and talk about crime and
punishment I figured I'd need some help

very funny
you know he made parole last month my
name's Bobby I'm doing seven to ten
years for borrowed uh me stealing cars
tell him how you got started Bobby
I stole a piece of candy when I was 10
years old and it was all downhill for me
it started with a single piece of candy
but soon I was cracking gumball machines
and smuggling Electrician I was planning
an all-out as*ault on that son
[Music]
are you okay Louie my name is meat and
I'm here to tell you that a life of
crime is no life at all it all began
when I saw a jawbreaker at a drugstore
and I had to have it ten years later I
was still stealing candy and look where
it got me
candy it's not just bad for your teeth
are there any questions go ahead ask him
you they thin kid with the hair question
yeah my questions for meat is meat a
first name or a last name it's a family
name so your first name would be rid
[Music]
what that wasn't a joke
maybe it was a joke to everyone else but
I wasn't laughing when I looked at those
three prisoners I saw my future
all night long I heard the clang clang
clang clang crinkly nova candies I had a
choice either never sleep again in my
life or get rid of the candy goodbye
forever
realest realest right
oh I felt a great weight had been lifted
off my shoulders I would have skipped
all the way home if I didn't look so
stupid doing it what's that Dad he
dreads him for Halloween early wrong
again my little citizen the Neighborhood
Watch Committee voted me their fearless
leader and I intend to look the part
great their doll the property values

snide comments like that won't be
tolerated on my big and without you
skipping outside even my dad's raging
psychosis couldn't dampen money the
candy was gone
