LYRICS
I can see the writing on the wall
And it's spreading just like an infection
The problem is we'd rather hate than love
Or blame improper font selection

Bold, italic, underline
If we'd give it a moment it could shine
To ban it would be a measure so drastic
How can you hate a font that's so fantastic?

Comic Sans is the best font in the world
If you want your designs to look like they're done by little girls
Comic Sans best used in moderation
Come on join me, the Comic Sans Nation

And if I asked you to join in the crusade
Would you do it without hesitation?
To cure the world of fontophobia
Eliminate all font frustration

And on the subject I just want you to know
That we've been pronouncing it wrong
The "sans" part is actually French
So it should sound like "Comic Sans"

Bold, italic, underline
If we'd give it a moment it could shine
To ban it would be a measure so drastic
How can you hate a font that's so fantastic?

it's time to make an impact
your favorite mistral, yes, you know i rockwell
i bring it extra hot, but this is not helvetica
get a connection to any letter or number
and we'll make it look twenty years younger
whether you got a tablet, feeling so wild
or if you're more of a bookman old style
O! CR A-game
we've got the best font in the world and l maintain
girl, you're totally my type, CE
but let's avoid those giddyup STDs
everybody put your hands in the arial
get em up high, and my wingdings will carry you
in the futura nation will use what i do
you're living in the past, i make these times new
roaming the streets, painting walls with my brush script
but there's a font of which i'll never get enough it's

Comic Sans the font that's misunderstood
Please don't use it for evil but use it for good
Comic Sans best used in moderation
Come on join me, the Comic Sans Nation

    It would be ironic if the subtitles were in comic sans
