Well, I'm travelin' down the road
You know I'm flirtin' with disaster
I've got the pedal to the floor
And my life is running faster
I'm out of money, out of hope
You know it looks like self destruction
But just how much more can we take
With all of this corruption
I've been flirtin' with disaster
Ya'll know what I mean
And the way we run our lives
You know it makes no sense to me
I don't know about yourself or
What you think you want to be - YEAH
But we gamble with our time
You know we choose our destiny
I'm travelin' down that lonesome road
Feels like I'm dragging a heavy load
Hey, I've tried to turn my head away
But feels about the same most every day
ย
You know what I'm talking about, baby?
ย
Speeding down the fast lane, momma
Been playin' from town to town
The Troubadours been burnin' it up
We can't seem to slow it down
I've got the pedal to the floor
Our lives are runnin' faster
I've got our sights set straight ahead
But I ain't sure what we're after
Flirtin' with disaster, babe
Damn sure know what I mean
You know the way we run our lives
It doesn't make no sense to me
I don't know about yourself, or
What you think you plan to be - Yea!!
'Cause when we gamble with our time
That's how we choose our destiny
Yeah we're travelin' down that lonesome road
Feels like I'm dragging that heavy load
I don't try to turn my head away
I'm flirtin' with disaster every day
ย
And you are too, baby!
Ah ha ha ha!
It ain't for everybody
AWWW, come on, baby!

(Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, Chef's attorney would certainly want you to believe that his client wrote "Stinky Britches" ten years ago.)
(And they make a good case. Hell, I almost felt pity myself!)
(But ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one, final, thing I want you to consider)
(Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk)
(But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!)
(Damn it!)
(What?)
(He's using the Chewbacca defense!)
(Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks?)
(That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case?)
(Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense!)
(Whoo!)
(Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca!)
(Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense!)
(And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation...)
(Does it make sense?)

Flirtin' with disaster, hon
I know you know just what I mean
You know the way we run our lives
Chewbacca Defense devotee
I don't know about yourself or
Really what you plan to be-eee
But we gamble with our time
It's how we choose our destiny
ย
Yeah, we're travelin' down that lonesome road
Feels like I'm shooting a heavy load
Now don't try to turn your head away
I'm flirtin' with disaster every day
ย
(If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests)
