(Sung to the bass line of “The Beat Goes On” by Sonny and Cher.)

Enough, enough, we got enough stuff (repeat four times)

I got a SUV, DVD, HDTV

Laptop, hip-hop, diamond-studded flip-flops

Prozac, Xanax, no-carb candy snacks

My cell phone ringtone’s a symphony by Beethoven

Enough, enough, we got enough stuff (repeat four times)

Video, stereo, vacation in Guantánamo

Microwave, electric shave, a thousand ways to help me save

Internet, virtual pets, a ninety-inch TV set

Credit card, bodyguard, a hundred-acre backyard

Enough, enough, we got enough stuff (repeat four times)

WE GOT ENOUGH

To sink a ship

WE GOT ENOUGH

To make your backbone slip

WE GOT ENOUGH

Don’t need anymore

WE GOT ENOUGH

We bought the whole store

Xbox, punk rocks, refrigerator that talks

iPod, hot rod, summer house on Cape Cod

Pokémon, Spiderman, drugs that make me Superman

Hot tub, back rub, pet Tibetan tiger cub

Enough, enough, we got enough stuff (repeat four times)
