i know when to say when

Most people don’t know it
But I know when
I know when to say when
If I’m falling down drunk
Or I’m bloated like Texas
I know when to say when.
Overstayed my welcome?
Foot I am chewing?
I know when to say when.
I’ve gone over the line
I’ve exceeded the bounds
And then it is time to say when.

I do know when to say when
Tho the French just might say it like “fin”
If I say some insults
And they hurt like the dickens
I know it’s time to say when
If I smash in some skulls
With a lead pipe or ten
I know that it’s time to say when
If I torture my neighbors
To stop all their chatter
If I tear down their houses
So my house will matter
I think that it’s time to say when.

I know when to say when
And I know how to say it again
If I blew up the world
With my secret machine
I know it’s time to say when
If I killed all the humans
With my evil ray gun
I know it’s time to say when
If the whole universe
Has collapsed in a dot
Because I turned the lever
To make it a spot
I think it is time to say when.
