I'm just a junk collector with some nerdish tendencies yeah, a junk collector with freaky-deak propensities I can't pretend to be something that I'm not but I've got some tricks to fit in this society now I'm not a hoarder 'cause I keep my junk in order I'm not a pack rat 'cause I only keep stuff that is awesome or useful or vintage or rare or... ok, I've got a little bit of a problem but if I ever meet a girl, I've got a good game plan I'm going to have to clean the crap from out my minivan because I scored this main frame last week, was really neat but all the data spools are taking up the passenger seat I got a copy of the local paper on her birthday that'll be a nice ice breaker on our first date and I'm rolling in this totally pimp shirt, yo I just found it in the trash a half an hour ago and -- well, of course I washed it first, jeez what do you take me for, some kind of hobo with herpes? I mean, uh, wait! you got it all wrong ah, crud... listen, babe, do you want to hear a song? antique shops, swap meets, and yard sales dumpster diving, I really don't care if your hair kind of smells when you're done, it's kind of fun and if you find a good one, it's like the Holy Grail I've got a sweet stash, but I ain't putting on airs I'm bringing home laptops and broken wheelchairs that I find when I'm roaming down around in the street I'm like, how could someone throw away a broken TV? if you had at least three, you could stack'em like so and have a Tower of Babel right in your front door take'em downtown to that abandoned skyrise defenestrate them all, see how well they can fly or better yet, rip'em open, get the vaccuum tubes put two in your bra, have transister boobs put the third one in your pants sticking out of your butt then everyone who sees you will be like, "what?" she got ba-dunk-a-dunk, junk in the trunk not junk like blubber, talking junk like stuff 'cause I'm a junk collector, rocking what I got yeah, a junk collector and sure 'nough, it's kind of hot 'cause I'm the funk protector, the superfly MC but if you happen to have some junk well, won't you pass it to me?
