Sarah Silverman - Phoebe's Song lyrics

(Susan introducing the song) Thank you so much You know, I'd like to take this opportunity to bring down our drummer downstage, Phoebe Summersquash I think she needs some encouragement. I think she's in shock right now PHOEBE: Oh God, thanks SUSAN: Listen, I just wanted to tell you that I'm, I'm blown away by your commitment to this project and my heart goes out to you. Maybe it's because I'm a trained actor and I, I'm aware of people and able to kind of get in their skin, you know, whether it be a plummer, or a drummer, and really kind of be there with you, that I was able to go, "Oh, my god, wow! You know, here's a woman who played this entire ..." I should explain, Phoebe has played this entire show with explosive diarrhea and, god, I just wanted to call you out here and shine a light on you and say, wow, so amazing, thank you PHOEBE -- Thanks SUSAN -- Get my guitar PHOEBE -- OK (Song starts, still speaking) You know, constipation is the physical manifestation of an emotional state... (Singing) ...Where you can't let go Of an inner debate Phoebe's got that problem Except in reverse Some call it a blessing Some call it the opposite of a blessing Phoebe's got diarrhea and She doesn't know how to tell the band Will they kick her out? Make her stay? Nobody should have to live that way (Speaking) SUSAN: You know, I talked to Phoebe before the show backstage. She was in the bathroom and I came up to the door and I said, "(Knock, knock, knock) Everything OK in there?" And I'll never forget what she said, do you remember? PHOEBE: Ah, no... SUSAN: She said, bbbblllllllllllllllllllllllllll (very long fart sound, with several breaks) (Singing) You've all come to see a show PHOEBE (whispering): Hey Sarah, Sarah... And Phoebe's got a secret No one can know Since, mem ... What? (Speaking) PHOEBE: Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom SUSAN: I know you have to go to the bathroom. You can't hold it in for like a minute? PHOEBE: I don't know, I mean... SUSAN: This song is for you, it's just like somebody gives you something, you don't ... PHOEBE: I know SUSAN: sh** all over it, you know. You can't hold it in for one minute until it's almost over? PHOEBE: OK, I'm sorry. I'm sorry SUSAN: Alright. It's OK. Uh, I've come to see a show (Singing) Phoebe's got a secret no one can know Since, memory helps me empathize Like remembering when my Puppy died And how it gave me diarrhea Cus he died! Phoebe's got diarrhea and She doesn't know how to Tell the band Will they kick her out? Make her stay? Nobody should have to live that way And it's gonna be a mess either way And the gra** is always brown is what they say And it's gonna be a mess .... A diarrhea-style mess Any way-ay-ay-ay (Susan hold on to the last note for a long time while in the background Phoebe's making sounds of trying to hold in her diarrhea) Way!
