Important work?

Why not spader? (chuckles)

My last pr rep was so busy worrying about what I wanted,
She didn't have an opinion of her own.
I'm looking for a bullshit-free relationship.
So I am gonna ask you again,
What do you think of "spader the investi-gator?"
- Okay.
It's a little predictable.
My five-year-old usually solves the crime by page two,
And an alligator on a skateboard?
(chuckles) it's illogical.
It's uh, it's stupid, it makes me crazy.
I'm sorry. - (laughs)

In the universe, but they sell.
