This is track 5 from our upcoming album “Not Invited Back”
This is an irreverent story about a hypothetical member of our community...one who is quirky, fun-loving, and proud to be a Brony. One who is eager to blast it from the rooftops. Quick to volunteer for an interview on Fox News. Slightly clueless that he's sometimes overstepping. His name is Spaghetti Joe. Call it a cautionary tale. Call it a celebration of our collective spaghetti. There's a little bit of Joe in all of us. Embrace the spagoot. This one's for you, Joe.
Stems, tempo changes, and chord charts are available here. They are a bit rough around the edges, but still perfectly usable for remix/cover purposes:

LYRICS:
VERSE 1
Me and my good friend Red right here
Gotta a story to tell, that ya’ll need to hear
it’s about a young man who means well enough
but the way he goes about it is...kinda rough
In a way, it’s a condemnation of us all (sad to say)
So before you let slip a careless quip
(try not to be like like ol' Joe)
PRE-CHORUS
He needs a little refinement and charm
And cut the basement confinement
Get help for that self-harm
(Spaghetti Joe)
He’s on Fox News
(Look at him go)
He’s got nothing to lose
(Spaghetti Joe)
And he married his plushie
(Oh, no no no)
Well, now you do "you" and don't get me wrong
'cause the purpose of this song is just to share a different view
(sometimes you gotta play along to get along, friend)
You might want to
CHORUS
Contain your cannoli
Rescind that ravioli
Lay off all that linguine
Forget that fettuccine
Pack up the primavera
Mitigate that marinara
Your cutie mark’s a panini?
You gotta be kidding me
VERSE 2
Well the story so far ain’t witty or pretty
(in fact, it’s...kinda shitty)
If you think Spike and Bad Dragon are synonymous
(Well that’s fine), just don’t pin it on the rest of us
(the Press isn’t Gonna Be real Kind)
so try to be a Bro and keep that in mind
PRE-CHORUS
He needs a little refinement
(and charm)
And cut the basement confinement
(get help for that self-harm)
(Spaghetti Joe)
he’s on Fox News
(Look at him go)
He's got nothing to lose
(Spaghetti Joe)
He totally married his plushie
(Oh, no no no)
CHORUS
Contain your cannoli
Rescind that ravioli
Lay off all that linguine
Forget that fettuccine
Pack up the primavera
Mitigate that marinara
Your cutie mark’s a panini?
You gotta be kidding me
BRIDGE
There may be times that make you wonder
Why you don’t fit in
Your ragu isn’t cash
Everyone thinks your waifu’s trash
...and they’re right
BREAKDOWN
Contain your cannoli
Rescind that ravioli
Lay off all that linguine
Forget that fettuccine
Pack up the primavera
Mitigate that marinara
Your cutie mark’s a panini?
You gotta be kidding me
CHORUS
Contain your cannoli
Rescind that ravioli
Lay off all that linguine
Forget that fettuccine
Pack up the primavera
Mitigate that marinara
Your cutie mark’s a panini?
You gotta be kidding me
(whistle solo)
You’re killing me with the pesto
Please don’t say that’s your best, whoah
Life’s already shitty
Please don’t drop your spaghetti
