"A Complicated Song" by "Weird Al" Yankovic is a humorous tale of a series of unfortunate and absurd situations that the protagonist finds himself in. The lyrics are structured as a series of hyperbolic stories, united by the recurring phrase "Tell me now...".

The first story tells of the hero who eats a huge amount of pizza and suffers the consequences of overeating. The second story tells of the hero who falls in love with a girl and then discovers that she is his relative. The third story describes how the hero loses his head on a roller coaster due to his reckless act.

The meaning of the song is to laugh at the absurdity of life and not take everything too seriously. "Weird Al" Yankovic is known for his satirical and absurdist songs, and "A Complicated Song" is a prime example of his style. The song makes fun of human stupidity, awkwardness, and the tendency to get into ridiculous situations.

Uh huh ... extra cheese

Uh huh, uh huh ... save a piece for me

Pizza party at your house

I went just to check it out

Nineteen extra larges

What a shame

No one came

Just us eatin' all alone

You said, "Take the pizza home"

"No sense lettin' all this go to waste"

So then I faced

Pizza all day

And every day

This cheese 'round the clock

Is gettin' me blocked

And I sure don't care

For irregularity

Tell me

Why'd you have to go and make me so constipated?

'Cause right now I'd do anything to just get my bowels evacuated

In the bathroom ... I sit and I wait and I strain

And I sweat and I clench and I feel the pain

Oh, should I take laxatives or have my colon irrigated?

No no no

I was feelin' pretty down

'Till my girlfriend came around

We're just so alike in every way

I gotta say

In fact, I just thought I might

Pop the question there that night

I was kissing her so tenderly

But woe is me

Who would have guessed

Her family crest

I'd suddely spy

Tattooed on her thigh

And son-of-a-gun

It's just like the one on me

Tell me

How was I supposed to know we were both related?

Believe me, if I knew she was my cousin we never would have dated

What to do now? Should I go ahead and propose

And get hitched and have kids with eleven toes

And move to Alabama where that kind of thing is tolerated?

No no no no no no no

No no no no no no no

No no no no no

I had so much on my mind

I thought maybe I'd unwind

Try out that new roller coaster ride

And the guide

Said not to stand

But that's a demand

That I couldn't meet

I got on my feet

And stood up instead

And knocked off my head, you see

Tell me

Why'd I have to go and get myself decapitated?

This really is a major inconvenience, oh man, I really hate it

Such a drag, now ... Can't eat, I can't breathe, I can't snore

I can't belch or yodel anymore

Can't spit or blow my nose or even read Sports Illustrated

Oh no

Why'd I have to go and get myself all mutilated? (yeah, yeah)

I gotta tell ya, life without a head kinda makes me irritated

What a bummer

Can't blink, I can't cough, I can't sneeze

But my neck is enjoyin' a pleasant breeze now

Haven't been the same since my head and I were separated

No no no
