Kick In The Pants Lyrics by Andy Kaufman

Andy Kaufman And His Grandmother

2013

[Conversation: Andy Kaufman and his Grandmother]
- I think you straighten up a little bit. I think you should— I-I think, you know, you should— you should look at yourself in mirror sometimes and say "Look, what am I doing? Why— why am I this way?" You know— I-I, you need— you know— you need a kick in the ass once in a while, and lately you've— you— you really need it. And I-I worry— I-I-I mean it, I worry about you. Maybe it's all a goof and you're just goofing when you're acting this way. I don't know why you're doing it, but it's not good and it's not healthy, it's not right. Not that I'm saying you don't have it together. I'm sure you do. You're a— you're a genius. You really are.
- I know.
- You're a genius.
- I know, I know.
- But—
-The reason I can say "I know" is that the— it's because what— like, the word "genius" is not something that's individually, you know? It's not anything the individual necessarily has t-to— takes the credit for. Do you know what I mean? If the person is indeed a genius, then that geniusness has been given to him as a gift. Mhmm. So— it's not as though it's something that I have done. That's why I'm able to say "I know" instead of thank you, because if I would say "thank you" that means I would be taking the credit for it. Instead I say "I know", because I know that I've got the gift, genius.
- That's very nice.
- It's very nice?
- It's very nice.
- See?
- It is.
- See aren't I smart?
