COACH Z: Can I borrow some detergent from you, please?

{Peacey P comes over with a basket of clothes, mumbling incoherently.}

COACH Z: Coach Z, R-A-P,
Accidentally featuring Peacey P.

PEACEY P: You biscuithead, you ain't featuring me!

COACH Z: I said accidentally featuring Peacey P!

I'm the lyricbolical Coach Z,
I like my ointments topical mostly,
And if you got the itchy toes than come see me,
I got a rap song featuring Peacey P!

PEACEY P: My name is P, comma, Peacey
I like to eat my bacon all greasy
I'm the best guest rapper in the music biz,
I ain't even know whose song this is!

COACH Z: It's mine! I thought I made that abundantly clear! Here comes the hook!

COACH Z AND PEACEY P: R-A-P-S-O-N-G, yes,
Yes, y'all, and we don't stap,

PEACEY P: Much money, mo' money, cash money, drop!

COACH Z: I'm the rhyme janitor wringing out my mop!

PEACEY P: Stop, fool, you're cramping my style!

COACH Z: I'll sprinkle wack MCs with my sawdust pile!

PEACEY P: Listen up straight, y'all biscuitheads,
I'd like a piece of dry toast with two scrambled eggs!
Order o' hash browns, make 'em extra crisp,
A glass of orange juice and a bowl of cheese grits!

COACH Z: Oh, dag, that man has just ordered breakfast in the middle of my rap song!

COACH Z AND PEACEY P: R-A-P-S-O-N-G, yes,
Yes, y'all, and we don't flake,

COACH Z: Here comes Tenerence Love with an R&B break!

TENERENCE LOVE: My name is Tenerence Love,
Plus my name is Tenerence Love,
Divided by my name is Tenerence Love,
Equals my name is Tenaaay-erence Love!
Remainder three!

COACH Z AND PEACEY P: R-A-P-S-O-N-G, yes,
Yes, y'all, and we don't stap,
Coach Z and Peacey P cold rappity-rap!

COACH Z, PEACEY P, AND TENERENCE LOVE: R-A-P-S-O-N-G, yes,
Yes, y'all, and we don't stap,

{The music and cartoon stop. Zoom out to a view of Coach Z and The Cheat in front of The Cheat's computer.}

COACH Z: The Chort, that was amazing! It's gonna rocket straight to the bottom of the BET charts!

THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}

COACH Z: Oh, your payment. How's about a nice slice of chin strap pizza? {holds up a pizza slice that has a chin strap on it}

{The Cheat sinks out of view, making sick-sounding The Cheat noises.}
