Lyrics

 * [Dad]


 * A souffle is a delicate kind of cake
 * I once made a perfect one that suffered a terrible fate


 * [Mom]
 * That souffle was dealt an awful beatin'
 * It crashed to the kitchen floor before it could be eaten


 * [Dad]
 * It's the kinda thing that sure does bug ya'
 * And the one who made it fall must be Arthur or D-dubya


 * [Dad and Mom]
 * They were in the kitchen when it fell
 * But who done it we can't tell!


 * [D.W.]
 * (I thought a "fouslee" was supposed to fall!)


 * [Arthur]
 * (It's a souffle.)


 * [D.W.]
 * (You mean it was a souffle.)


 * [Dad and Mom]
 * Two sides of the story
 * Two-oo-oo sides of the story
 * It's old, old, old familiar territory
 * I still love you right or wrong
 * And the point of this whole song
 * Is that there's always two sides of the story


 * [Mom]
 * Okay, you two, you're the subject of this tale
 * Of how your Dad's souffle never made it to the supper table


 * [Dad]
 * It happened very fast
 * That we can't ignore
 * But who's the one who sent
 * That souffle to the kitchen floor?


 * [Arthur and D.W.]
 * Souffle to the kitchen floor


 * [Dad and Mom]
 * Two sides of the story
 * Two-oo-oo sides of the story
 * It's old, old, old familiar territory
 * I still love you right or wrong
 * And the point of this whole song
 * Is that there's always two sides of the story


 * [Arthur]
 * (Maybe Pal did it.)


 * [Mom]
 * Don't blame the dog


 * [D.W.]
 * (Nadine, how could you?)


 * [Dad]
 * Or your imaginary friend


 * [Dad and Mom]
 * Okay, you two, let's go over this again


 * Let's head down the trail to the wide open spaces
 * Of justice as we retrace your paces


 * [Dad]
 * This posse needs some facts


 * [Mom]
 * Some hard evidence


 * [Dad]
 * Now think, can either of you


 * [Dad and Mom]
 * Recall the exact events?


 * [D.W.]
 * (It wasn't me, it was Arthur...)


 * [Arthur]
 * (It couldn't have been me, I was in my room doing my homework...)


 * [D.W.]
 * (...Why do I always get blamed for things I don't do, Mom?...)


 * [Arthur]
 * (...D.W., I'm pretty sure you did it...)


 * [D.W.]
 * (...I wasn't even here, I was in my room playing games...)


 * [Arthur]
 * (It couldn't have been me, D.W. there's no way!)


 * [D.W.]
 * (Mom, it must have been Pal or Arthur!)


 * [Pal]
 * (Woo woo wooooooo!)


 * [Arthur and D.W.]
 * Oh, Mommy, oh, Daddy
 * I think that maybe we both could have done it
 * We just didn't see
 * How the thing fell
 * That's the truth
 * And the truth ain't so hard to tell


 * [Pal]


 * Arrrrrr!


 * [Arthur, D.W., Dad and Mom]
 * Two sides of the story
 * Two-oo-oo sides of the story
 * It's old, old, old familiar territory
 * I still love you right or wrong
 * And the point of this whole song
 * Is that there's always two sides
 * Always two sides
 * Always two sides of the story! Yee-haw!
