"It's Easy, Mm'kay" is a song featured in the movie South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. It was sung by Mr. Mackey and the 3rd grade (4th today) children of South Park Elementary.
Background
Mr. Mackey teaches alternate words to use in place swearing to stop them from using foul language through a song and dance. The children eventually join in and enjoy the lesson in using appropriate words.
Lyrics
Mr. Mackey:
There are times when you get suckered in,
By drugs and alcohol and sex with women, mm'kay.
But it's when you do these things too much,
That you've become an addict and must get back in touch...
You can do it, it's all up to you, mm'kay,
With a little plan you can change your life today!
You don't have to spend your life addicted to smack,
Homeless on the streets giving handjobs for crack,
Follow my plan and very soon you will say, it's easy m'kay!
Step 1: Instead of ass say buns, like "kiss my buns" or "you're a buns hole"!
Step 2: Instead of shit say poo, as in "bull poo", "poo head" and this "poo is cold".
Step 3: With bitch drop the 't' because bich is Latin for generosity!
Step 4: Don't say fuck anymore 'cause fuck is the worst word that you can say, so just use the word mm'kay!
Children:
We can do it it's all up to us, mm'kay,
Mr. Mackey:
(mm'kay)
Children:
With a little plan we can change our lives today!
Mr. Mackey:
(You can change it today)
Everyone:
We don't have to spend our lives shooting up in the trash,
Homeless on the streets giving handjobs for cash,
Follow this plan and very soon you will say,
It's easy, mm'kay!
Mr. Mackey: Step 1...
Red: Instead of ass say "buns",
Boy 1: Like "kiss my buns",
Girl 1: or "you're a buns hole"!
Mr. Mackey: Step 2...
Annie, Butters, and Boy 2: Instead of shit say poo,
Girl 2: As in bull poo,
Kyle: "Poo head",
Boy 3: And "this poo is cold"!
Mr. Mackey: Step 3...
Boys: With bitch drop the 't',
Girls: Because bich is Latin for generosity!
Mr. Mackey: Step 4...
Children: Don't say "fuck" anymore,
Everyone: Because "fuck" is the worst word that you can say,
Children:
Fuck is the worst word that you can say!
We shouldn't say fuck,
No, we shouldn't say fuck, fuck no!
Mr. Mackey: You're cured, you can go!
Everyone:
We don't have to spend our lives shooting up in the trash,
Homeless on the streets giving handjobs for cash,
Follow this plan and very soon you will say,
It's easy, mm'kay!
Children: It's easy, mm'kay!
Mr. Mackey: It's easy mm'kay!
Children: It's easy, mm'kay!
Mr. Mackey: It's easy mm'kay!!!
Children: It's easy, mm'...
It's easy, m'...
It's easy, m'...
It's easy, m'kay!
