HOMESTAR RUNNER: One two three and four...
{singing} Aaaaah
Tropical lazor beams
Lazor beams of love
Tropical lima beans
When you're away it's like a void
I try to avoid it
Every time you're away
I put my lazors on stun!
Because I gotta stun you
Just to get my point through!
Lazor beams!
Lazor beams!
Pretty please!
With the lazor beams!
Aaaah
Tropical lazor beams
Lazor beams of love
Tropical lima beans

[edit] Fun Facts
[edit] Remarks
- Flans, noted as being on guitar, holds his guitar but never actually plays it. Instead, he only plays the shaker.
- The video "skips" between the lines "Tropical lima beans" and "When you're away it's like a void", due to editing out of the extra DVD lyrics.
- Just like the first Puppet Jam, this one is also longer on DVD, with additional lyrics.
[edit] Inside References
- The misspelling of laser as lazor originated in band names.
- There is another mention of beans.
[edit] Real-World References
- Lasers and similar items that are "set to stun" are usually references to the popular Star Trek series.
[edit] Fast Forward
- A "cabana boy" would again be mentioned in disconnected.
