Labor Day
Labor Day Blues: A Satirical Anthem Against Jerry Lewis
Lyrics
On my TV screen
Expressing observation of a TV screen
Every Labor Day
Referencing the recurring event of Labor Day
Fuckin' Jerry Lewis
Expressing discontent with Jerry Lewis
Make him go away
Wishing for Jerry Lewis to disappear or stop appearing
Make him go away
Reiterating the desire for Jerry Lewis to go away, disrupting Labor Day
Make him go away
-He's fucked up my Labor Day
-Make him go away
-One, two, three, four
Numerical countdown possibly emphasizing urgency
Jerry Lewis, I'm comin' to get ya
Expressing intent to confront Jerry Lewis and metaphorically end his TV presence
You're gonna run, you're gonna hide
-Jerry Lewis, this squad's gonna get ya
-And make you commit TV suicide
-Give him 24 hours
Attributing freedom of action to Jerry Lewis but suggesting dependence due to an unspecified disease
He'll do what he please
-He'd be on welfare
-If it weren't for this disease
-Make him go away
Reiterating the desire for Jerry Lewis to go away and the impact on Labor Day
Make him go away
-He's fucked up my Labor Day
-Make him go away
-One, two, earth, shoe
Unusual counting sequence possibly for rhythmic or stylistic effect
Jerry Lewis, I'm comin' to get ya
Repeating the intent to confront Jerry Lewis and end his TV presence
You're gonna run, you're gonna hide
-Jerry Lewis, this squad's gonna get ya
-And make you commit TV suicide
-His eyes get red
Describing physical and vocal changes in Jerry Lewis, possibly due to amphetamine use
And his voice gets mean
-I guess it's what you get
-When you take amphetamine
-Make him go away
Reiterating the desire for Jerry Lewis to go away and the impact on Labor Day
Make him go away
-He's fucked up my Labor Day
-Make him go away
-One, two, three, four
Numerical countdown, possibly emphasizing urgency
Jerry Lewis, I'm comin' to get ya
Repeating the intent to confront Jerry Lewis and end his TV presence
You're gonna run, you're gonna hide
-Jerry Lewis, this squad's gonna get ya
-And make you commit TV suicide
-In France they appreciate me
Contrasting the negative perception of Jerry Lewis in the US with positive recognition in France
In France they know I'm a genius
