This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us Lyrics

[Music & Words: Ron Mael / Rusell C. Mael]

Zoo time is she and you time

The mammals are your favorite type and you want her tonight

Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat

You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants attacking tigers

This town ain't big enough for the both of us

But it ain't me who's gonna leave

Flying, domestic flying

And when the stewardess is near, don't you show any fear

Heartbeat, increasign heartbeat

You are a khaki-colored bombardier,

it's Hiroshima that you're nearing

This town ain't big enough for the both of us

But it ain't me who's gonna leave

Daily, except for sunday

You dawdle into the cafe, where she meets you each day

Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat

As twenty cannibals have hold of you, they need their protein just like you do

This town ain't big enough for the both of us

But it ain't me who's gonna leave

Shower, another shower

You've got to look the best for her and be clean everywhere

Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat

The rain is pouring on the foreign town, the bullets cannot cut you down

This town ain't big enough for the both of us

But it ain't me who's gonna leave

Census, the latest census

There'll be more girls who live in town, though not enough to go around

Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat

You know that this town isn't big enough, not big enough

For the both of us

This town isn't big enough, not big enough for the both of us

And I ain't gonna leave
