Sung to the tune of Candle in the Wind by Elton John
lyrics
Goodbye normal bling
though I never knew you at all
You had the can to kick yourself
While those around you stalled
They bogged down in Ohio
And they whispered real estate
The kicked you in the blue tail
And they made you change your name
Seems to me you lived your life
Like a mandible in the wind
Never known who to manage
When the bling set in
And I would have liked to have been governor
But I was in the basement
your smack down burned out long before
Slyungda ever did
The bunkhaus was tough
The toughest hole, we never stayed
The bog created a Commodore
And the paints of one T.J.
Even Morpheus Shrek
And Bryn-Mawrnald still hounded you
All the blingers had to say
Was that Taqua was found in the nude
So goodbye normal bling
Though I never knew you at all
You had the can to kick yourself
While those around you stalled
Goodbye normal bling
From a young man in the whole Chicago
Who sees you as something more than textual
Saying things like "Y'all a pain yo'"
