VERSE 1

All I did was shop and spend

‘Til my time and money were gone.

I knew the madness had to end.

But it just went on and on.

VERSE 2

As I stood in line at the grocery store

I shuffled through a men’s magazine

Right there, in the middle of page 1-3-4

Was the coolest thing I had seen.

CHORUS

It was a 3-D Printer

Could make a sausage or a gun.

It was a 3-D printer.

For your profit and your fun.

VERSE 3

There in line I launched a yell.

Which attracted plenty of stares.

But in those pages, I could tell,

Was the answer to my prayers.

CHORUS

It was a 3-D Printer

Could make a sausage or a gun.

It was a 3-D printer.

For your profit and your fun.

VERSE 4

Once it finally came, and I sat it up,

I put it through it’s first trial run.

Lunch time, so I printed out a foot long pup.

But it couldn’t print out the bun.

CHORUS

I got a 3-D Printer

Could make a hot dog or a gun.

I got a 3-D printer.

But it couldn’t print out the bun.

BRIDGE

It was kinda like,

The one you see,

In the movie “The Fifth Element”.

If I could print me a Milla,

Then it would be,

Worth every penny that I’d spent.

VERSE 5

Valentines and I forget.

So I print some candies out first.

They look like Hershey’s milk chocolate.

But they smell of liverwurst.

CHORUS

I used a 3-D Printer 

To make some candy for my girl.

I used a 3-D printer.

Now my baby’s gonna hurl.

VERSE 6

Next I made a gun, just because I could.

And yes it smelled of fresh bologna.

One shot, a new eye patch and I'm looking good.

But my counting stops short of twenty.

CHORUS

I got a 3-D Printer

Blew off a finger with that gun.

I got a 3-D printer.

For a great price you can have one.

The End
