Like you always thought I would become,
I'll always remember who I should thank.
So thanks a lot, Mom.

Or when I'm lighting up my bong,
I'll always remember who I should thank.
So thanks a lot, Mom.

Or when I'm writing a suicide note like a song,
I'll always remember who I should thank.
Yeah, thanks a lot, Mom.
