DEADBEAT DAD IN A SAFFRON TOGA

[Verse 1]
Prince Siddhartha Gautama, you did something bad
You abandoned Yashodhara, your hot lactating wife
Because you wanted enlightenment, more than family life You also left Rahula, your newborn only son
‘Cause you thought navel-gazing would be much more fun

[Chorus]
BUDDHA BUDDHA BUDDHA DUDE DEADBEAT DAD IN A SAFFRON TOGA! GONE GAUTAMA DOING YOGA!

[Verse 2]
You snuck out of your castle
'Cause family life's a hassle
You became a holy guru
You avoided dirty diapers with the stinky boo-boo

I personally - did the Daddy duty! I stayed home! As a father I suffered! and I have not recovered!

[Chorus] BUDDHA BUDDHA BUDDHA DUDE DEADBEAT DAD IN A SAFFRON TOGA! GONE GAUTAMA DOING YOGA!

[Verse 3]
Buddha, Buddha, here's my gripe
About you getting all the hype You got sacred peace and bliss
while I slept in puddles of infant piss You got your nirvana
While babies barfed on my neck
Green peas and banana

It’s not fair! It’s not fair! It’s not fair!

[Chorus]

BUDDHA BUDDHA BUDDHA DUDE DEADBEAT DAD IN A SAFFRON TOGA! GONE GAUTAMA DOING YOGA!

[Bridge]
What about me? What about me? What about me? Buddha you are idolized, worshiped, praised, adored But what about me? What about me? What about me?

Buddha, you got 30 million hits on Google while I lost 1,000 nights of sleep, now my brain's a rotten noodle

Buddha, you were a Slacker-Pappy and quitter                                                                                                   But still… you’re hugely famous, and I am hugely bitter, because… because….

[Chorus]
BUDDHA BUDDHA BUDDHA DUDE YOU’RE A DEADBEAT DAD IN A SAFFRON TOGA! YOU’RE GONE GAUTAMA DOING YOGA!

BUDDHA BUDDHA BUDDHA DUDE YOU’RE A DEADBEAT DAD IN A SAFFRON TOGA! YOU’RE GONE GAUTAMA DOING YOGA!
