I'd like to say hello and welcome you
Good day that is my name Come here and sit down I'm so glad you even really truly came We can even go and take a walk or something like that or something like that But first I need to introduce my what and introduce my when Let us sing! (Ahh, ahh ahh) Its name I like to call it likes to say it's nothing (it's nothing) It lives and breathes and it insists that it insists that it is something (it's something) It never liked to speak or run or walk or sleep or eat (oh-ee oh-ee oh) It even thought that everybody tried to thought to take its seat Looking through glass eyes Give it a few tries Nothing goes right in its time Kill all its bad dreams Wonder 'bout no things Circles and spirals in mind But we know that this song is not about a no or yes or why What's really truly what I say is that about a little sigh So come along I think I'm done I think we're done yes this is done What's truly that I think about it and it thinks about a ton Let us sing! (Ahh, ahh ahh) Looking through glass eyes Giving a few tries Nothing goes right in its time Kill all its bad dreams Wonder 'bout no things Circles and spirals in mind I thought you knew I knew but Why and by and why and by and by I wanted you to know I thought you knew but Why and by and why (Everyone loves a potato monkey... I stepped in gum! I stepped in gum! Ohoho! -- -- -- If you have two scissors and a computer, then you can...) Let us sing! Birds and bees and television Cardboard houses, x-ray vision Many little silly rhymes Things forgotten lost their times Telephones and silly games Periods and lots of question marks |

Here's that part again
Where everything's more than it should be and Greener seems to fall beneath your feet Seconds tick like boulders Whenever you don't call Does it seem like that where you are Wherever it is you are Does it seem like that where you are (yeah yeah yeah yeah) Time for time together And depending on the weather We'll either argue in your House or outside How different I felt Before I got this notch on my belt 'cause in my plans you were all for me Yeah but now it seems that you'd just rather leave Wherever you go Is breaking me slowly Don't leave it alone Don't leave it alone You sound so much further on the phone You fit just right Right next to me But there's always a reason why it can't be Telephones make you seem miles away from home All alone I get a little meaner I leave a message at your tone And miles away from home You get a little cleaner of me And I find a little greener shade of envy Wherever you go Is breaking me slowly Don't leave it alone Don't leave it alone You sound so much further on the phone You fit just right Right next to me But there's always a reason why it can't be Tissues get used Getting rid of you Don't you see what you do to me And you just let it be I wish you'd get used And then come running back To the shoulder that's become me To the shoulder that's me Wherever you are Is breaking my heart Don't leave it alone Don't leave it alone You fit just right Right next to me |

Welcome to Marvin's Marvellous Mechanical Museum,
known from coast to coast like butter and toast. From inland to Finland, Uluru to Peru, no other place is continued in the United States or other environments of the world. Welcome. Can I get a T? ("T") And if you hit me with the A L L Y Then you'd see why The Hall is here for y'all The mini mall is calling us all in So kids, pack up your mom's car Back up the Windstar Kick it in drive and arrive at the mega mart Slide the side hatch with pride 'cos your ties match On booty duty like your name was Eddie Thatch' W W T H D We like to kick it at the university But all work and no play makes us crazy So we jump in the bumping SUV Hit the street get the sweet tunes on Do a donut on your momma's front lawn And sooner than you know You found the rock'n'roll show At the Tizzy Hizzy we'll be gone We're in the mini mall Working the carnival We like to play it all Welcome to Tally Hall "Who's to blame?" The automated players, I proclaim Yellow tie, this suave fellow writes Heterophonic tunes of how love bites Red, the proud loud guy we adore "Is my amp too high?" "No, turn it up more!" So Grey in the back, sippin' 'gnac, can hear He's knockin' down the shots like Bill Laimbeer Send home the locksmith, Green's got keys To unlock the rock in the act if you please Now open the case, give Blue the bass And jiggle your badigle all over the place We're in the mini mall Working the carnival We like to play it all Welcome to Tally Hall Can I get a click Flick off the switch And we'll ignite the night in pitch Singin' songs you like to hear And the world will disappear Then we'll be glowing in the dark Lighting up the park Revealing that the Hall is the place that aims to please with unpredictable games and antiquities The collectibles so delectable The unreliable style's undetectable Like I might rap like an English chap Take you by the knickers and a bum you'll slap You didn't think we had the gall Well, bloody welcome to Tally Hall! We're stereosonic, we're animatronic We're rappin' with the robolectronic ebonics A quick distraction, a mechanic attraction Got a penny in your pocket for the slot What? Hey, ho, don't'cha know? It's a good old-fashioned puppet show! That's right, quite the set With a marionette quintet We think we're playing in a band We'd love to give you all a hand Wooo! We're in the mini mall Working the carnival We like to play it all Welcome to Tally Hall We think we're playing in a band We'd love to give you all a hand We think we're playing in a band ("Aargh!") We'd love to give you all a hand |

Marvin walked into a helpless land,
And wondered lightly am I happy? Is this happy? Following the footsteps left by man He stepped to reprimand the mystic Who's sadistic Took a step into the elevator Who said guess I'll see you later Don't you worry Fifteen flights that lasted nights And days that spent without a cent For creatures, with their beat shirts. Listening to painted whispered Light on top forgotten hills Next the stranded senate of the white brick house With flowers asked some questions. For their story All feeling now he took his bow And left the stage of time with no answers To no questions Lonely paperbacks that wanted Just a taste of feeling to implode them Before living Tiptoed to the wooden sign and said Now take your place in line for happy This is lovely Listening to painted whispered Light on top forgotten hills One secondary smile To go that extra mile To make me feel today To make it go away The chemistry is gone Taken for a ride Far away from you No longer left inside The actor with his world renowned Was thinking 'bout his last real day of silence Was it over? Or is it just we all think That our answer isn't real, it's just a picture Of a letter Bumble Mumble, take the route No matter what, you'll seem profound It's useless just to worry Something normal happens Somewhere far away in clouds so please Stop thinking; this is happy. Listening to painted whispered Light on top forgotten hills One secondary smile To go that extra mile To make me feel today To make it go away The chemistry is gone Taken for a ride Far away from you No longer left inside (repeat) There no secrets in the door Just a moment doing chores (There's nothing there) And there's something 4x Next to nothing And there's something 2x But you're gone |

I suppose you're quite content
In your swimming pool All you pink skinned babes are the same And you can't stay forever young So get out here and see the sun You're only six inches away from becoming one I was in your shoes before Or lack thereof And things worked out for me There's a dozen people here And they're waiting for you It's your party you can cry if you want to What if I told you I could show you something What if I told you I could make you live Follow my instruction Swim in the direction Of my voice Hear my voice Of my voice Hear my voice You think that you've seen it all In your little ball Man you're wrong and she's been waiting Long and hard to kiss your head And hold your hands And hold you while you fall asleep What if I told you I could show you something What if I told you I could make you live Follow my instruction Swim in the direction Of my voice Hear my voice Of my voice Hear my voice Ba Ba Ba Ba da Baaa Baaa Ba da Ba Ba-ee-ah Ba Ba Ba Ba da Baaa Baaa Ba da Ba Ba-ee-ah What if I told you I could show you something What if I told you I could make you live Follow my instruction Swim in the direction Of my voice Hear my voice Of my voice Hear my voice |

(Do you want a banana?) Peel it down and go mm mm mm mm Do you want a banana? Dis banana for you |

I'm too much
Or not enough Maybe everyone else is messed up Well anyway I can't seem to stay in just one state of mind Waiting round for something better I'm the one that wouldn't let her Now I'm back and forth I get bored when she's no perfect find Cause it's one thing Or another I don't even know why I bother One thing just tears her down Cause it's one thing Or another I don't even know why I bother Something I just can't get around Consider the possibility That you've been had but not by me We're just kids Don't worry about this My course is run and I'm so tired Until the next one comes inspired I feel bad and I should I made her sad and I knew it would Cause it's one thing Or another I don't even know why I bother One thing just tears her down Cause it's one thing Or another I don't even know why I bother Something I just can't get around I need to learn To wait in turn Cause now I just step blindly And I'm only happy when I can close my eyes and I just die there And forget about about acting kindly (Cause it's always one) Cause it's one thing Or another I don't even know why I bother One thing just tears her down Cause it's one thing Or another I don't even know why I bother Some things I just can't get around Still I know you won't let me down |

One time I tried to sing
About spring and a storm But you know How it goes Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah All along Won't you please stop complaining I'm playing a song But all the rain comes down the same Falling to from where it came On the ground then back around Up into the sky I wish you could have heard the music When the clouds growled overhead I finally felt enthusiastic I finally felt alive Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah So you said Would it please you to listen To thunder instead Man the rain came down that day And it drained my soul away And I wondered why I even Bothered to try Mr. Moon (Yeah?) Tell us about the sky The sky is deep and dark and eternally high Many people think that's where you go when you die Do you? Well I think you return to obscure Or wherever you were Before you were But I won't let you lose yourself In the rain We have so much left to sing There's a storm for every spring All you see and you and me Became from a star You're a star Yes you are (Silent explosive and Silent explosive and) Create until nothing is left to create and The universe bursts with an overworked sigh then Pretend to pretend to re-crown the creation and Sing the same thing ‘til the clouds start to cry and then Over and over and over again and then Over and over and Never again |

I have this little thing
It's probably just a fling Two girls I like a lot I think they're really hot But I'm not sure if they know How my love began to grow It took a lot of time But right now it's solely mine (Today) I drew a mural of The things I'd like to love And where my heart resides Is with two girls with gray eyes If they just gave me a chance I'd show them what they want and teach 'em what they've got I'd tickle each and every one of their fancies And I'd take the key to my heart and open it and let the love shine through. Mary Kate and Ashley, I hope you understand That I love you a lot and I wanna be your man And I think that it'd be totally cool If I hung around your apartments and enrolled in your school (Mary Kate) I saw you on TV You dressed up like a bee Reminds me of the time How it's gone and it's gone and it's gone It's sadness every day that passes Without you and I really want I really want I really wanna hold you both tight and tell you you're mine but instead I sing: Mary Kate and Ashley, I hope you understand That I love you a lot and I wanna be your man And I think that it'd be totally cool If I hung around your apartments and enrolled in your school Mary Kate and Ashley I hope you understand That I love you a lot and I wanna be your man And I think that it'd be totally cool If I hung around your apartments and enrolled in your school I know that life without you and you would be sad And I know it'd be bad Mary Kate and Ashley I hope you understand That your loveliness blossomed And I wanna hold your hands And I think that it'd be totally cool If I hung around your apartments and enrolled in your school Mary Kate and Ashley I hope you understand That I love you a lot and I wanna be your man And I think that it'd be totally cool If I hung around your apartments and enrolled in your school Mary Kate and Ashley I hope you understand That I love you a lot and I wanna be your man And I think that it'd be totally cool If I hung around your apartments and enrolled in your school Once you learn to love me Life will be alright Once you learn to love me Life will be alright Once you learn to love me Life will be alright |

I have been trying
To write a haiku for you Some things I just can't do Maybe you're beyond Ancient Asian poetry Or maybe it's just me I have been trying To get this haiku just right All night for you alright I'm through! Maybe this poem Was lost in the sauce we spilled That never got refilled I've never thought much Of formulaic verse anyway And rhymes are not my fort? I have been trying To get this haiku just right All night for you alright I'm through! I'm trying not to try too hard But you're hard to write down right So I pen these trite attempts At haikus for you tonight La da dee diddum Lada da dum doo diddle Dum doo la dee do There that's sufficient I wrote a haiku for you Well I tried at least And that's not so bad I'm working here Can that be said for you? I'm trying not to try too hard But you're hard to write down right So I pen these trite attempts At haikus for you tonight Words don't work like Webster says They trip me up all night I'm just trying to write for you But you're hard to write down right |

There's lots of pretty people here
Sharing soltries and passing letters and There's lots of questions answered and Metaphysical astronomical songs Words printed all on papers That seemed too mystical It's so magical People that dance and compute that No one's better then you La la la La la la La la la La la la There's kings in distant cities Who rule their persons and Make them happy and We won't forget about all the Servisory congratulatory Even the animals know that something's brewing And they're all cooing Cause in the end I'd like to say No one's better than you I hope you're happy now I've revealed the truth I've even written this whole song about you And not about me And not about me Please don't just laugh and clap right now This is serious I'm not delirious I've waited very patiently Just to let you know Who should run the show Cause we all know these are the facts Nothing to retract Nothing too abstract Concluding in the song I'll say No one's better than you No one's better than you No one's better than You |

Juno was mad;
He knew he'd been had So he shot at the sun with a gun Shot at the sun with a gun Shot at his wily one only friend In the gallows or the ghetto In the town or the meadow In the pillows even over the sun Every end of the time is another begun You understand Mechanical hands Are the ruler of everything (ahh) Ruler of everything (ahh) I'm the ruler of everything In the end (Backwards: Ohohohohohohoho he's a jack rabbit he's running away look at him he's jumping around!) Do you like how I dance? I've got zirconium pants! Consequential enough To slip you into a trance Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk? Do you like how my face Disintegrates into chalk? I have a wonderful wife I have a powerful job She criticizes me for being egocentric (ha ha ha) You practice your mannerisms Into the wall If this mirror were clearer I'd be standing so tall I saw you slobber over clovers on the side of the hill I was observing the birds Circle in for the kill I've been you I know you Your facade is a scam You know you're making me cry This is the way that I am I've been living a lie A metamorphical scheme Detective undercover brotherhood Objective: obscene Oh no, no Oh yeah Do you hear the flibbity jibbity jibber jabber With an oh my god I've got to get out of here or I'll have another Word to sell Another story to tell Another time piece ringing the bell Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end No You know it must be never ending Comprehend if you can But when you try to pretend to understand You resemble a fool Although you're only a man So give it up and Smile Do you hear the flibbity jibbity jibber jabber With an oh my god I've got to get out of here or I'll have another Word to sell Another story to tell Another time piece ringing the bell Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end No You know it must be never ending Comprehend if you can But when you try to pretend to understand You resemble a fool Although you're only a man So give it up and Smile You understand Mechanical hands Are the ruler of everything (aah) Ruler of everything (aah) I'm the ruler of everything In the end Without looking down Gliding around Like a bumbling dragon I fly Scraping my face on the sky Oh no, no Oh yeah |
