They Might Be Giants - Snail Shell lyrics

Or is it ma'am

I fell out of my right place again

And you considered me

And now I'm where a snail has to be

I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell

I want to thank yo ufor putting me back in my snail shell

Was it something you would do for anybody?

Was it what you'd only do for me?

I need to know because you see

I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell

Friend

Look what you gave

And how can you ever be repaid?

How may I give you a hand

>From the position at your feet where I stand?

So let me thank you for putting me back in my snail shell

Snail shell

Thank you

Snail shell

Thank you

Ah

Ah

Ah

Was it something you would do for anybody?

Was it what you'd only do for me?

Or was it something where you acted when you saw the need

And knew that there would be a way the act could be repaid

And so it may, but for today

I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell
