They Might Be Giants

They Might Be Giants - Snowball In Hell lyrics

Avalanche or roadblock

I was a snowball in hell

Avalanche or roadblock

A jailer trapped in his cell

Money's all broke, and food's going hungry

If it wasn't for disappointment

I wouldn't have any appointments

Side effect or drug trip

Don't tease me with all of your might

Side effect or drug trip

My panacea's in a Xerox shop

Have a nice day, you want it when?

Have a nice day, have a nice day

I didn't expect to find a salesman drinking coffee this late in the morning. How long you been here, Joe?

Oh, I don't know, I guess thirty, forty-five minutes maybe. Why do you ask?

You must be making a lot of sales, piling up good income.

Oh... uh... I'm doing all right. I could do better, but... Ohahaha I get it Paul. Back on that old "Time is Money" kick, right?

Not back on it, Joe, still on it.

Avalanche or roadblock

I was a snowball in hell

Avalanche or roadblock

A jailer trapped in his cell

Money I owe, money-iy-ay

Money I owe, money-iy-ay

Avalanche or roadblock

I was a snowball in hell

Notes

The Frank O'Toole demo version adds more of the spoken dialogue ad nauseum as follows:

Okay, okay

Okay, okay, okay let's

Okay, okay

Okay, okay, okay let's

Okay, okay

Okay, okay, okay let's

Avalanche or roadblock

I was a snowball in hell

Avalanche or roadblock

A jailer trapped in his cell

Money's all broke, and food's going hungry

If it wasn't for disappointment

I wouldn't have any appointments

Did I affect your drug trip

Don't tease me with all of your might

Did I affect your drug trip

You threw my wallet in the wishing well

Have a nice day, you want it when?

Have a nice day, have a nice day

I didn't expect to find a salesman drinking coffee this late in the morning. How long you been here, Joe?

Oh, I don't know, I guess thirty, forty-five minutes maybe. Why do you ask?

You must be making a lot of sales, piling up good income.

Oh... uh... I'm doing all right. I could do better, but... Ohahaha I get it Paul. Back on that old "Time is Money" kick, right?

Not back on it, Joe, still on it.

Avalanche or roadblock

I was a snowball in hell

Avalanche or roadblock

A jailer trapped in his cell

Money's all broke, and food's going hungry

If it wasn't for disappointment

I wouldn't have any appointments

Avalanche or roadblock

Yes, I was a snowball in hell

I was a snowball in hell

Not back on it, Joe, still on it.

Not back on it, Joe, still on it.

Not back on it, Joe, still on it.
