A Man Dressed as a Hot Dog Confesses His Sins

Well I didn't plan well
Financially speaking

I guess that's no big surprise

You invest in a hot yogurt stand
And suddenly you find yourself broke

Nobody tells you
That it's not really a good idea
To heat yogurt

Nobody tells you anything

You start wearing a sandwich board
For no reason
Just to wear it

You write your philosophy down on it
Like--

'Yogurt can be many things' and 'A girlfriend could have stopped this'

You stop showering
But you still put on cologne

You stop brushing your teeth
But you still chew gum

You stop talking
But you sing whenever possible

One day you realize
You want coffee
And you can't afford it

Not coffee
You can afford coffee
You just can't afford
To be wide awake

It's no longer in your budget
To stay alert

That's when you go to Harry's Hot Dogs
And take the sign out of the window
That says 'Help Wanted'

Even though you know they don't want 'Help'
They want a giant hot dog who can wave at people
Driving by Harry's

You don't care

You're a bad man
You've done bad things
You smell
You cry too much
You're a hot dog

You're a hot dog
And you're cool with it
You're cool

Maybe from here...something else?

Maybe from here
You can start
Clean and new
