And if you got the itchy toes, then come see me,
I got a rap song, featuring Peacey P!
PEACEY P: My name is P, comma, Peace-ay,
I like to eat my bacon all grease-ay,

COACH Z: I'll sprinkle wack MCs with my sawdust pile!
PEACEY P: Listen up straight, y'all biscuitheads,
I'd like a piece o' dry toast wit' two scrambled eggs!
Order o' hash browns, make 'em extra crisp,
A glass o' orange juice an' a bowl o' cheese grits!
COACH Z: Oh, dag, that man has just ordered breakfast in the middle of my rap song!

COACH Z: The Chort, that was amazing! It's gonna rocket straight to the bottom of the BET charts!
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}
COACH Z: Oh, your payment. How's about a nice slice of chin strap pizza? {holds up a pizza slice that has a chin strap on it}
