THE TALK IN 'THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS' LYRICS THREAD

[Sam]

I've been leaving on my things
So in the morning when the morning bird sings
There's still dinner on my dinner jacket
'til the dinner bell rings

[Esuohlim]

Experimental dog
Salivating dog
Good dog
Waiting for the dinner bell to do the bell thing
Dinner bell, dinner bell ring

[Captain Goodtimes]

you and your racist friend

[Esuohlim]

For years and years I've wandered the earth
Until I died and went to Hell
But my dispair had ascended to Heaven
That's how I finally got rid of it

[Sam]

No means no
No is always no
If they say no it means a thousand times no

[Captain Goodtimes]

TAKE ME BACK TO CONSTANTINOPLE
NO YOU CANT GO BACK TO CONSTANTINOPLE
BEEN A LONG TIME GONE CONSTANTIONOPLE
WHY DID CONSTANTINOPLE GET THE WORKS?

THATS NOBODY'S BUSINESS BUT THE TURRRRKS!

[Esuohlim]

Every jumbled pile of a person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of

[Sam]

in 1844, the democrats were split
The three nominees for the presidential candidate
Were martin van buren, a former president and an abolitionist
James buchanan, a moderate
Louis cass, a general and expansionist
From nashville came a dark horse riding up
He was james k. polk, napoleon of the stump

[Esuohlim]

When you're following an angel
Does it mean you have to throw your body off a building?
Somewhere they're meeting on a pinhead
Callin you an angel, calling you the nicest things
I heard they had a space program
When they sing, you can't hear, there's no air
Sometimes I think I kind of like that
And other times I think I'm already there

[Sam]

Mr. horrible
Mr. horrible
Telephone call for mr. horrible
But before he can talk to the ugliness men
There's some horrible business left
For him to attend to
Something unpleasant has spilled on his brain
As he sponges it off they say

"is this horrible?
Is this horrible?
It's the ugliness men, mr. horrible
We're just trying to bug you
We thought that our dreadfulness
Might be a thing to annoy you with"


P.S. That's like one of my favorite songs Milhouse Backwards.

[Esuohlim]

At once I awoke to a futuristic world
There were flying cars and gigantic metal bugs
I'd grown a beard, it was long and white
But I knew that the girl would be coming very soon
For though everything had changed, there was still that clock
And it still said four of two

P.S. Which one, the original or the Severe Tire Damage version?

[Sam]

they call me dr. worm.
Good morning. how are you? i'm dr. worm.
I'm interested in things.
I'm not a real doctor,
But i am a real worm;
I am an actual worm.
I live like a worm.

I like to play the drums.
I think i'm getting good,
But i can handle criticism.
I'll show you what i know,
And you can tell me if you think i'm getting better on the drums.
I'll leave the front un-locked 'cause i can't
Hear the doorbell

P.S. Both.

oom bop

[Esuohlim]

They built this whole neighborhood out of wood, out of wood
I guess I'll still be around when they burn, burn it down
I will be standing around when the burn it down
Here in the Museum of Idiots

P.S. I ordered Factory Showroom for overnight delivery on Saturday and I still haven't gotten it yet

[Esuohlim]

'Cause everyone's your friend in New York City
And everything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty
The streets are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to see
But the best thing about New York City is you and me

P.S. I GOT IT IN THE MAIL FINALLY AND I HATE I CAN HEAR YOU BECAUSE IT'S BORING BUT I LIKE METAL DETECTOR AND I HEARD SPIRALING SHAPE ON MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE ONCE OMG AND SAM WHERE ARE YOU?

[Luchatein]

Meet James Ensor,
Belgiums famous painter.
Step right up and shake his hand,
Appreciate the man.

[Sam]

MINIMUM WAAAAAGGGEEEEE! CHE-YAH!

[Esuohlim]

PLEASE PASS THE MILK, PLEASE

[Sam]

I heard a sound BUM BUM
and looked around BUM BUM
I looked around to find the thing that made the sound.

[Luchatein]

You're older than you've ever been.
And now you're even older.
And now you're even older.
And now you're even older.

You're older than you've ever been.
And now you're even older.
And now you're older still.

TIME..is marching on
And TIME.. is still marching on.

[Esuohlim]

I didn't expect to find a salesman drinking coffee this late in the morning. How long you been here, Joe?

I don't know. I guess 30, 45 minutes maybe. Why do you ask?

You must be making a lot of sales. Piling up a good income.

Ohhh, I'm doing alright. I could do better, but....ohhhh, I get it Paul. Back on that old "Time Is Money" kick, right?

Not back on it Joe, still on it.

[Driscoll]

He wants a shoehorn, the kind with teeth
People should get beat up for stating their beliefs
He wants a shoehorn, the kind with teeth
Because he knows there's no such thing

He asks a girl if they can both sit in a chair
but he doesn't get nervous
She's not really there

He wants a shoehorn, the kind with teeth
Because he knows there's no such thing

Tour the world in a heavy metal band
But they run out of gas
The plane can never land

He wants a shoehorn, the kind with teeth
People should get beat up for stating their beliefs
He wants a shoehorn, the kind with teeth
Because he knows there's no such thing

What's the sense in ever thinking about the tomb
When you're much too busy returning to the womb?
