JOHN FLANSBURGH: Say goodbye to Marshie, but, but there's more, ladies and gentlemen. We've got a very special guest for you now, all the way from... HomestarRunner.com, our good, fine, special puppet friend, Homestar Runner. 

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Aaaaaaaaaaaaa-- 

JF: How's it goin' Homestar? 

H*R: --aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. L-5-P represent. 

JF: What it is? 

H*R: You guys, I feel like I'm about to pee my pants. 

JF: Well, we'd better start the song, then. 

H*R: Alright! 

JF: Here we go. 

JOHN LINNELL: Save it for the show. 

H*R: Let's do it. Marty! [Marty counts time with his drumsticks and the music begins.] A lot of people-- I've heard a lot of talk. A lot of different types of talk from a lot of different types of people. They've been talkin' 'bout stuff that I don't wanna hear. These people've been talkin' bout... sports. 

[Singing:]
What would you do if I took off my shoes 
And threw them out into the street? 
Would you lend me a pair 
Of your finest brown loafers? 
I promise not to have stinky feet! Oh! 

(Try with a little help from my friends) 
Oh, I'm always givin' high fives 
(By with a little help from my friends) 
We hang out at high five fives 
(By with a little help from my friends) 
I like to hang out with the fry guys 
(By with a little help from my friends) 
(Do you need anybody?) 

Ohhh my goodness I can't believe I'm here tonight on the stage with They Might Be Giants! [unintelligible] Whoo! 

(Do you need anybody?) 

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (Homestar!) 
Oh my goodness 
This is ridiculous (Homestar!) 
I can't believe how ridiculous this is! (Yeah!) 
Flansy! 

(By with a little help from my friends) 
I can't believe it! 
(Try with a little help from my friends) 
All my friends in the place to be! 
(Try with a little help from my friends) 
[Homestar joins in the chorus:] High with a little help from my friiieeeennds! 

H*R: I got so many friends I can't believe how many friends I've got I got some friends, I got some serious friends. Oh! Oh. 

JF: Homestar! 

H*R: Thanks, everybody! You've been great! 

JF: Your hometown friend, Homestar! 

H*R: Thank you guys. 

JL: That was crazy. 

H*R: It was nice to see you all. 

JL: High five. 

JF: See you later, Homestar.
