Now a red solo cup is the best receptacle For barbecues tailgates fairs and festivals And you sir do not have a pair of testicles If you prefer drinking from glass A red solos cup is cheap and disposable And in fourteen years they are decomposable And unlike my home they are not fore-closable Freddie Mac can kiss my ass woo Red solo cup I fill you up Let's have a party let's have a party I love you red solo cup I lift you up Proceed to party proceed to party Now I really love how your easy to stack But I really hate how your easy to crack 'Cause when beer runs down the front of my back Well that my friends is quite yucky But I have to admit that the ladies get smitten Admiring how sharply my first name is written On you with a sharpie when I get to hittin' On them to help me get lucky Red solo cup I fill you up Let's have a party let's have a party I love you red solo cup I lift you up Proceed to party proceed to party Now I've seen you in blue and I've seen you in yellow But only you red will do for this fellow 'Cause you are my Abbot to my Costello And you are the fruit to my loom Red solo cup you're more than just plastic You're more than amazing you're more than fantastic And believe me that I'm not the least bit sarcastic When I look at you and say Red solo cup, you're not just a cup.
