"Don't Let's Start"

"Don't Let's Start"

Don't don't don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you're my precious little girl
But don't don't don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around how you get around

When you are alone you are the cat, you are the phone
You are an animal
The words I'm singing now
Mean nothing more than meow to an animal
Wake up and smell the cat food in your bank account
But don't try to stop the tail that wags the hound

D, world destruction
Over and overture
N, do I need
Apostrophe T, need this torture?

Don't don't don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you're my precious little girl
But don't don't don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around how you get around

No one in the world ever gets what they want and that is beautiful
Everybody dies frustrated and sad and that is beautiful
They want what they're not and I wish they would stop saying,
Deputy dog dog a ding dang depadepa
Deputy dog dog a ding dang depadepa

D, world destruction
Over and overture
N, do I need
Apostrophe T, need this torture?

Don't don't don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you're my precious little girl
But don't don't don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around how you get around

I don't want to live in this world anymore
I don't want to live in this world

Don't don't don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you're my precious little girl
But don't don't don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around how you get around

"Dont Know Why It Takes That Long"

"Dont Know Why It Takes That Long"

Every two hours there's a different song
Perhaps there's a reason it takes that long
I don't know why it takes that long
For They Might Be Giants Dial-a-Song

And your call is next!

"Doris Cunningham"

I think you have another song for us. Would you like to perform it?

What's the name of the song?

Oh, I think I know that one! Great, great.

"Down To The Bottom Of The Sea"

"Down To The Bottom Of The Sea"

Down down down
Down down down
Down down down
Down to the bottom of the sea
Me and my baby
We got a secret plan
Me and my baby
And I'm a sailor man

Down down down
Down down down
Down down down
Down to the bottom of the sea.

"Drink!"

"Drink!"

I'll take back my pinata it's wasted on you
Just spinning that pool cue all over the room
And give back the blindfold that's under your shoe

Let's drink, drink this town is so great
Drink, drink cuz it's never too late
To drink, drink to no big surprise
But what words rhyme with buried alive
What words rhyme with buried alive

You could be a float for the 4th of july
Based on your theme of wallflowers grown wild
Look thru your peephole, you've won every prize

Let's drink, drink this town is so great
Drink, drink cuz it's never too late
To drink, drink to no big surprise
But what words rhyme with buried alive
What words rhyme with buried alive

In your monkey suit on a cigarette break
The lunchtime crowd, they won't even blink
But you'd be sad if they did
But you'll be sad...

Let's drink, drink this town is so great
Drink, drink cuz it's never too late
To drink, drink to no big surprise
But what words rhyme with buried alive
What words rhyme with buried alive

"E Eats Everything"

"E Eats Everything"

A hardly has an appetite
And pokes at food too long
And B can barely bother
Because all the food is wrong
C likes only candy
And chocolate by the box
D is just disinterested
In anything you've got

But E eats everything
Yeah, E eats everything
E eats everything
Yeah, E eats everything

So toss in on a plastic plate
Or stick it with a fork
Serve it with a shovel
Or serve it on a spork

Yeah, E eats everything
Yeah, E eats everything

F is far too fussy
And only eats with fancy wine
G eats only gourmet
But never can decide
H burns food so horrible
All I tastes is smoke
J just likes drinking juice
And K drinks only soda

But E eats everything
Yeah, E eats everything

E is eating in a moving car
E is eating upside down
E is eating on a spaceship
E is eating off the ground
L and M and N and P
Won't start 'til O arrives
Q and R and S and T
Are wearing clothes much too tight
U and V and W
Are worn out from this song
And X and Y just will not share
And will not get along

But E eats everything
Yeah, E eats everything

But look out now, here it comes
That final letter Z
Now Z's not like other letter
Z's only eating E's
Yeah, Z eats E's
Yeah, Z eats E's
Z eats E's
Yeah, Z eats E's

"E Eats Everything (Elegant Too Remix)"

[Sung repeatedly in the background throughout the song:]
E eats everything

A hardly has an appetite
And pokes at food too long
And B can barely bother
Because all the food is wrong
C likes only candy
And chocolate by the box
D is just disinterested
In anything you've got

But E eats everything
Yeah, E eats everything
E eats everything
Yeah, E eats everything

"ECNALUBMA"

"ECNALUBMA"

Well it's a good thing that I brought a napkin
I knew that this would happen
Why does this always happen?
That a day of impulsive fun becomes an evening
Of injury, blood and grieving
Injury, blood and grieving

Make way make way and stand aside
The crowd takes up the cry
He comes he comes
Bow down bow down and lower your eyes
Before the litter borne by men in fancy uniforms
A chariot from which a siren warns
The regal flashing lights and royal horns
Behold the great one comes

You've got an electric knife
And I've got the need to spite my face
I've got a nose, I know what to do

Hand me that electric knife
Marry me and be my wife
Be by my side in the electric parade

Help me out I can't seem to get this window open
Never mind now it's open
I think my hand is broken

"Eight Hundred And Thirteen Mile Car Trip"

"Eight Hundred And Thirteen Mile Car Trip"

Eight hundred and thirteen mile car trip
Eight hundred and thirteen mile car trip
Four hundred and seventeen miles to go
Three thousand trees
Fourteen hundred buildings
One spilt cup of orange juice
Nineteen pit stops
One hundred and fifteen pick-up trucks
Eight hundred and thirteen mile car trip
