== Transcript ==

''{Puppet Homestar appears. They Might Be Giants are behind him, John Flansburgh on guitar and shaker and John Linnell on accordion. Marty Beller is off screen on drums.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' One two three and four... 
''{singing}'' Aaaaah 
Tropical lazor beams 
Lazor beams of love 
Tropical lima beans 
When you're away it's like a void 
I try to avoid it 
Every time you're away 
I put my lazors on stun! 
Because I gotta stun you 
Just to get my point through! 
Lazor beams! 
Lazor beams! 
Pretty please! 
With the lazor beams! 
Aaaah 
Tropical lazor beams 
Lazor beams of love 
Tropical lima beans 
Lima beans above


=== DVD Transcript ===

[[Everything Else, Volume 1]] has a different version of this song.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{softly}'' One, two, three and four... 
''{singing}'' Tropical lazor beams... 
Lazor beams of love 
Tropical lima beans... 
Lazor beams in Fiji 
Maybe Tijuana... ''{rushed}'' even though that's not really tropic... 
Lazor beams in Tahiti... 
Tropical! On the sunset... 
I can't believe you left me 
For that cabana boy 
I can't believe you left me 
Crying "Tropical lazor beams..." 
I'm always crying "Tropical lazor beams..."

'''JOHN FLANSBURGH:''' ''{in background}'' Crying, crying...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' When you're away it's like a void 
I try to avoid it 
Every time you're away 
I put my lazors on stun! 
Because I gotta stun you 
Just to get my point through! 
Lazor beams! 
Lazor beams! 
Pretty please! 
With the lazor beams! 
Aaaah 
Tropical lazor beams 
Lazor beams of love 
Tropical lima beans 
Lima beans above... 
All right! I think, uh... I think that was a ladykiller, guys.


== Fun Facts ==


=== Remarks ===

* Flans, noted as being on guitar, holds his guitar but never actually plays it. Instead, he only plays the shaker.
* The video kind of "skips" between the lines "Tropical lima beans" and "When you're away it's like a void", due to editing out of the extra DVD lyrics.
* Just like the first Puppet Jam, this one is also longer on DVD, with additional lyrics.


=== Inside References ===

* The misspelling of ''laser'' as ''[[Lazor|lazor]]'' originated in [[band names]].
* There is another mention of [[Beans|beans]].


=== Real-World References ===

* Lasers and similar items that are "set to stun" are usually references to the popular [[Star Trek]] series.


=== Fast Forward ===

* A "cabana boy" would again be mentioned in [[disconnected]].


== See Also ==

* The [[Tropical Lazor Beams Chord Progression|chord progression]] for the song.
