Eating the bench, eating the bench

I spend half my life just eating the bench.. ♪♫

It’s only a complicated counter-attack after being benched.

Game? What game? … [I thought we were here for lunch.]

are Termites REALLY dedicated politicians?

Termite be overtime.

Ok coach, but it was so tempting we couldn’t resist…num num num

But coach, we was hungry.

It’s the wood that makes it good.

Just wanted to make sure you didn’t bench us.
