The song

 * We love the cockroach
 * We love the furry fans
 * We love the dealers
 * We love the midnight dance
 * We're working Anthrocon
 * Sleep is for weak-lings
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda.


 * We love the Teamsters
 * For all their cheerful work
 * We call them hamsters
 * It's Heathyr's little joke
 * We're working Anthrocon
 * Back on the loading dock
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda.


 * We love the fursuits
 * We like the assless chaps
 * But at a distance
 * We're mostly not like that.
 * We're working Anthrocon
 * It's an ex-per-i-ence
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda.


 * We get some stories
 * Our friends all say are wrong
 * We get material
 * To write these stupid songs
 * We're working Anthrocon
 * It's never boring
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda.


 * We love the blisters
 * We love our comfy shoes
 * We work for Giza
 * "Your mother's calling you!"
 * We're working Anthrocon
 * With Grandma Kage
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda.


 * We're going home soon
 * We're gonna drive straight thru
 * We're getting drunk first
 * It's just a thing we do
 * Sunday night Anthrocon
 * You'd best not bother us
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda.


 * We're working Anthrocon
 * It's been a great time
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom-de-adda, boom-de-adda,
 * Boom!
