lyrics

I’m sitting at the popular table today,
Everyone wanting me to stay,
Everyone wanting to be me when they
See me sitting at the popular table today,
Ready to cash that cachet,
Ready to make my way!

‘Cause I have fin’ly cracked the causation equation,
The perfect gambit for this situation.

Here we go, here we go, self; here’s all you gotta do:
Take it slow, take it slow, self. This all depends on you.
Keep cool. See it through.
Wait and see, easy peasy. You walk up nice and chill,
Flowing free with your D&D and unicycle skill.
Head up, taste the thrill.
From now on, it’s all downhill.
And I’m sitting down,
And I’m looking up,
And…

I’m sitting at the popular table today,
Everyone wanting me to stay,
Everyone wanting to be me when they
See me sitting at the popular table today,
Ready to cash that cachet,
Ready to make my way!

And being here is like, well, it’s so zen; it’s next gen
Like I’ve been waiting for them to call in the bullpen
You know your prayers are heard when it’s on then, so amen,
I must be popular!

[Instrumental]

Wait a sec, wait a sec, now. Where’d everybody go?
What the heck, what the heck, now. We’ve barely said hello.
Chad left, Jess in tow.
The rest gone; I’m still here, so
Guess I’m the only one
Who’s still popular
‘Cause…

I’m sitting at the popular table today,
Everyone wanting me to stay,
Everyone wanting to be me when they
See me sitting at the popular table today,
Ready to cash that cachet,
Ready to make my way!

I can’t remember why I was so doom-y and gloomy.
Now that it’s mine, this place is so roomy, so sue me.
The whole damn world’s become so perfume-y, and bloomy,
Because I’m popular!
