Summary[]
Bret, after learning of Murray's newfound fortune, attempts to inform Jemaine that he no longer has to prostitute himself in order to make ends meet. In an A.V.

Singing a song about prostitution, like "I'll stop you from being a prostitute with this song".

Lyrics for You Don't Have to be A Prostitute from The New Cup You don't have to be, a prostitute / No no no no no / You can say no, to being a man hoe / A male gigolo / You don't have to be, a prostitute / No no no no no / You can say no to being a night looker, boy hooker, rent boy, bro, hoe He can't see his way out / I can not see my way out / He can't see his way out / Male prostitution seems to be my only option / He can't see his way out / I can not see my way out / He can't see his way out / No, no, no, no, no He sends cheep thrills, to pay expensive bills / But check your résumé, you must have some other skills / Do you have any other skills? / Like typing? They see him, want him to please them, want him to play them, but they don't even pay him / Oh no, they don't think he's worth it at all / Don't think I know when, he tries to bring them home, maybe that would be a way if he lived alone / Oh, you have a roommate Jemaine, don't bring them home You don't have to be, a prostitute / No no no no no / You can say no, to being a man hoe / A male gigolo / You don't have to be, a prostitute / No no no no no / You can say no to being a night looker, boy hooker, rent boy, bro, hoe |
