Lyrics
Boxman:

So let me tell you how this all came to be

I'm doin' this here rap for your safety

So all you kids, don't mess up like me

And be disowned by your family

So check it, this is how it all began

I was chillin', eatin' some Raisin Bran

I decided it was time to get a tan

So I grabbed my scissors and then I ran



I forgot my house was two stories tall

I missed the first step and began to fall

What happened next I could not recall

I was impaled by the scissors and that's not all

I thought I could get some help on the street

I got run over by a f*cking Jeep

The rest of this mess I will not repeat

To help keep your lunch, I've been discreet



Ian Hecox:

Box

The Boxman

He's the Boxman

He's the Boxman

He's a box

He's a Boxman

Boxman

He's a box, man!



Boxman:

I woke up in a strange location

Some dirty bum had an explanation

Apparently he had no education

He turned my body into an abomination

He said he found me on the road nearly dead

It was necessary he fix my torso and my head

He had no human parts, so he used a box instead

The news was so overwhelming that I fled



Ian:

The Boxman

He's the Boxman

He's the Boxman

He's a box

A-Dizzle:

Yo, what's up, homie, you know that Boxman?

I-Dwag:

Yeah, he used to be a part of my clique!



A-Dizzle:

Yeah, well what about now?

I-Dawg:

I don't know man, he can suck my —

Boxman:

It's hard to live with a body of cardboard

You'd think with this cute smile I'd be adored

But since the accident I've always been ignored

I trust one day that my hope will be restored



I'd like to meet a girl who likes me for me

But, of course, no girl likes a guy made of tree

I get so desperate that a cry and I plead

I'd even take a fat girl to a tolerable degree

I guess it ain't that bad to be a box like me

Hey, at least I ain't Mary-Kate or Ashley

If I ever want to travel across the sea

I disguise myself as a package and fly for free.

Well, the moral of the story is airfare's expensive as hell.

''So that's the end of my tale. So long and farewell.''



Ian (x3)

The Boxman

He's the Boxman

He's the Boxman

He's a box

He's a box, man

He's a box

The Boxman

He's the Boxman

He's the Boxman

He's a box

The Boxman

He's the Boxman

He's the Boxman

He's a box

He's a box, man

Boxman

He's a box, man!

Outro lyrics

He's the Boxman, man, man...
