They Might Be Giants - I Palindrome I lyrics

Someday mother will die and I'll get the money

Mom leans down and says, "My sentiments exactly,

You son of a bitch"

I palindrome I (I palindrome I)

I palindrome I (I palindrome I)

And I am a snake head eating (snake head)

The head on the opposite side (snake head)

I palindrome I (manonam)

I palindrome I (manonam)

See that bulletproof dress hanging from the clothesline

See the medical chart with the random zig-zag

Now I'll help it decide

I palindrome I (I palindrome I)

I palindrome I (I palindrome I)

And I am a snake head eating (snake head)

The head on the opposite side (snake head)

I palindrome I (manonam)

I palindrome I (manonam)

I palindrome I (manonam)

I palindrome I (manonam)

"Son I am able," she said "though you scare me."

"Watch," said I

"Beloved," I said "watch me scare you though." said she,

"Able am I, Son."

See the spring of the grandfather clock unwinding

(Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age)

See the hands of my offspring making windmills

(Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age)

Dad palindrome Dad

I palindrome I (I palindrome I)

I palindrome I (I palindrome I)

And I am a snake head eating (snake head)

The head on the opposite side (snake head)

I palindrome I (manonam)

I palindrome I (manonam)

I palindrome I (manonam)

I palindrome I (manonam)

Notes

Dial-a-Song had a substantially different song with the same name. This piece, which had a different melody and was sung by Flansburgh instead of Linnell, goes as follows:

I Palindrome I

Born on the 5th of July

One door shut, another one closed

I Palindrome I

She king of Brooklyn she

Master of all she surveys

Lives a life unencumbered by me

She king of Brooklyn she

Man, when I was a young man

Not like I'm driving a rocking chair now, but

Man, when I was a young man

I was free

I Palindrome I

Mister 5th of July

One door shut, another one closes for

I Palindrome I

Man, when I was a young man

Not like I'm driving a rocking chair now, but

Man, when I was a young man

I was free

I Palindrome I

Something just fell on my head

Born on the 5th of July

Something just fell on my head
