I'm taking Kieron's idea because i didn't even think about the lyrics I transcribed for my cover of "Dog Eat Dog." It's a bit mixed up from two versions I have, but here it is regardless. You can add or take out the 'oooos' as you please:

I wanted for breakfast
the whole state of texas
so just like godzilla
I attacked a gorilla
and the battle was vicious
but his skull was delicious
and then I thought I'd skidaddle
right on up to seattle
but now i'm just a land lubber
and i'm turning into blubber

why have i never been
comfortable in my skin
(ooooooo) i don't know

and maybe money will make it okay

and then when i've got a mountain
and it's too high for the countin'
and secretaries with faxes
to handle all my taxes
ill always wave hi to myself
whenever a mirror is in sight
just to be polite

till one night a nightmare
crept into my sight where
that thin space has no scruples
between my eyelids and pupils
and using that little panel
just like the late night film channel
to chase me with dreams

like skyscrapers made out of paper
evil pied pipers
whirl pools full of werewolves
and pipers wearin' diapers

why have i never been
comfortable in my skin
ooo i don't know

hey thanks for nothin'
this turkey thinks your bluffin'
just back off with that stuffing
you say its dog eat dog
but hey dogs don't eat dogs
i broke up with me when i was my best friend
i was poor and then rich again
i was old and then i got middle aged
i fretted my hour up on the stage
it was only 50 minutes with commercial breaks

and why have i never been
comfortable in my skin
ooo i don't know
i don't know
