Having just heard the song I have three prevailing thoughts:

1. I started to smile at the word "bread" and then smacked my gob when the silly rhyme was narratively explained. Why did they feel the need to excuse silliness?

2. I'm guessing the large number of words is supposed to work within the narrative - the character being chatty - but they don't do anything with it other than just more verses and a few aside moments. I really think they could have done more with this, like have the character keep saying one more thing about a single topic to the point of absurdity and frustrating AJ, while having the music seem as if it's going to cadence only to blithely continue the same phrase.

3. The melody felt really arbitrary to me, especially the chorus - pitches just kind of plucked out of a generic pentatonic scale with hardly any momentum or programmatic synergy.
