You can't print that

I’ve got something to say that might cause you pain
I’m afraid you’re gonna have to ink that up again

You’ve gotta keep your hand flat
When you wipe back
(You’ve gotta keep it flat when you wipe back)
‘Cause I’ve told you before
Ooo, you can’t print that

Used relief when it should have been intaglio ink
Now your paper is sticking
Tell me, what were you thinking?

Gotta keep your hand flat
When you wipe back
(You’ve gotta keep it flat when you wipe back)
‘Cause I’ve told you before
Ooo, you can’t print that

Wipe your edges clean
Is that a fingerprint from your glove?
How long has it been
Since your paper was wet?
What? Not soaking it yet?

​I can tell by the CLUNK that the pressure’s too tight
You’ll rip a hole in the blanket if you don’t set it right

You’ve gotta keep your hand flat,
When you wipe back
(You’ve gotta keep it flat when you wipe back)
‘Cause I’ve told you before
Ooo, you can’t print that

Ooo, you can’t print that…

Keep your paper clean
Is that a fingerprint from your glove?
Don’t wanna cause a scene
But just by the way
You’ve got ink on your face!

So please listen to me for the very last time
You call that editioning? I call it a crime.

You gotta keep your hand flat,
When you wipe back
(You’ve gotta keep it flat when you wipe back)
‘Cause I’ve told you before
Ooo, you can’t print that . . .
