Get In Line lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
(from "King Of The Hill" soundtrack)
Everywhere I go, someone's trying to by my girlfriend's best friend
I'm trying to pretend I'm relaxed but I'm playing castanets with my knees
I try to be cool and give her space
But a guy's always there ready to jump right up and take my place
Everyone in this room seems to want to make a big fool out of me
Everybody open your mouth (Everybody, everybody)
Everybody just say "ah" (Ah, ah, ah)
Everything'll be all right
If you play along
Everywhere I go, there's someone in a trenchcoat staring at me
When I'm not at home, I'm sure someone's rummaging through my trash
Whatever could they want from me?
Is it just a part of a giant government conspiracy?
I gotta go see my doctor about this itchy pentagram-shaped rash
Everybody open your mouth (Everybody, everybody)
Everybody just say "ah" (Ah, ah, ah)
Everything'll be all right
This won't hurt at all (Turn it up)
Everybody get in line (Everybody, everybody)
Everybody turn and cough (Ah, ah)
Everything'll be all right
If you just lay off
Dictate a memo to myself
Try to find if I'm the only one in complete health
Consult contemporaries if there are some to see
There really isn't anyone who's in my league
But me
Every night at a lane, someone thinks they've got a fine bead on me
I try to take three deep breaths as I lock in on my minivan
Everyone says I'm looking great
But it's hard to stand up, let alone to try to concentrate
I wish that everyone that I knew hadn't sold out to The Man
Everybody open your mouth (Everybody, everybody)
Everybody just say "ah" (Ah, ah, ah)
Everything'll be all right
This won't hurt at all
Everybody get in line (Everybody, everybody)
Everybody turn and cough (Ah, ah)
Everything'll be all right
If you just lay
Everything'll be all right
If you just lay (Ah, ah)
Everything'll be all right
If you just lay off (Ah, ah, ah)
It's Only Me (The Wizard Of Magicland) lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
Urgh!
Speaking as a guy who's really got it going on
It's only natural! - It's only me!
Take it from a fella who's been round the block so many times
He knows the only parking spot that's free,
It's only me.
You can say I've tried everything,
I save on my wedding ring,
Who knows me half as well as me?!
I'm not antisocial, and it's nothing that's reproachful
It's just natural! - It's only me!
I can't think of anybody else I'd rather spend some one on one time with
It's not that hard to see,
It's only me.
I'm the me in monogamy,
I'm not asking a lot of me,
I give me are. E. S. P. E. C. T.
And if you're heart is broken,
You can just do what you do best,
You can just do what you do
When you're heart is broken,
Trust in the one who will love you
Never put others above you
I thought I was using me to get to you,
But this is true and natural!
It's only me!
They say you'll never love another 'till you love yourself
Well brother, I'm in love with everyone I see
It's only me.
You can say I've tried everything,
I save on my wedding ring,
Who knows me half as well as me?
I'm the me in monogamy,
I'm not asking a lot of me,
I give me are. E. S. P. E. C. T.
Whooo!
Aaaaaaaaaa Yeah!
Landed On My Head lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
(from "The Super Bob Einstein" soundtrack)
You know my face, not my name
It's funny all the same
They won't know what hit these fools
I'm gonna rewrite the rules
Set the trap, lay in wait
The payoff will be great
It's subtle and dry and slow
I won't telegraph the blow
Hell no, I'm not asking for attention
Seems though you may have misread my intentions
Let go, maybe we won't need to mention
How I landed on my head
Don the suit, hit the ramp
Take it like a champ
Then a tremendous fall, or maybe a wrecking ball?
I brought the Funk, just in time
Enthusiasm's fine
Consider yourself told
After they made me, they broke the mold
Hell no, I'm not asking for exemptions
Seems though I may have messed with your conventions
Let go, maybe we won't need to mention
How I landed on my head
Wake me up when we land
I'll never understand
Man, it can get so dull
Let's make it uncomfortable
Line you up for the kill, then stay completely still
You won't see it coming then
I'm making you laugh again
Hell no, I'm not asking for attention
Seems though I may have increased all the tension
Let go, maybe we won't need to mention
How I landed on my head
Landed on my head
How I landed on my head
Lazer Team lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
(from "Lazer Team" soundtrack)
When there's an interplanetary menace,
Who will defend us against atack?
They could've struck in Tokyo or Venice,
And they depended we'd not fight back.
They might've thought the planet was defenceless,
Then someone befriends us and we're on track.
Make way for the Lazer Team,
It's not a dream,
The most important battle that the planets seen,
It's the Lazer Team,
More than they seem,
Not just a four man alien kicking ass machine.
A champion was chosen for the battle,
He was to be paired with the suit of power.
But like a snake without a rattle,
We were impaired but we would not cower.
They thought they'd slaughter us like cattle,
They weren't prepared for our finest hour.
They weren't prepared for the Lazer Team,
It's not a dream,
The most important battle that the planets seen,
It's the Lazer Team,
More than they seem,
Not just a four man alien kicking ass machine.
I don't think anyone expected them to save the day for you and me.
I don't think anyone expected them to spell Lazer with a "Z"
It's the Lazer Team,
It's not a dream,
The most important battle that the planets seen,
It's the Lazer Team,
More than they seem,
Not just a four man alien kicking ass machine.
It's the Lazer Team,
It's not a dream,
The most important battle that the planets seen,
It's the Lazer Team,
More than they seem,
Not just a four man alien kicking ass machine.
It's the Lazer Team,
It's not a dream,
A multi-cultural alien kicking ass machine,
It's the Lazer Team,
More than they seem,
Okay, bi-racial alien kicking ass machine.
Make way for the Lazer Team,
It's not a dream,
The most important battle that the planets seen,
It's the Lazer Team,
More than they seem,
Not just a four man alien kicking ass machine.
Lazer Team

One Little Slip lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
(from "Chicken Little" soundtrack)
It was a recipe for disaster
A four-course meal of no sirree
It seemed that happily ever after
Was happy everyone was after me
It was a cup of good intentions
A tablespoon of one big mess
A dash of overreaction
I assume you know the rest
One little slip
One little slip
It was a fusion of confusion
With a few confounding things
I guess I probably took the wrong direction
Well, I admit I might have missed a sign or two
I ran a light past your affection at Humiliation Avenue
I took a right turn at confusion
A left, when I should have gone straight on through
I ran ahead with my assumptions
And we all know what that can do
One little slip
One little slip
It was a fusion of confusion
And a few confounding things
I get the feeling in this town
I'll never live 'til I live down
The one mistake that seems to
Follow me around
They'll forget about the sky
When they all realize
This guy's about to
Try to learn to fly
Or hit the ground
It was a cup of good intentions
A tablespoon of one big mess
A dash of overreaction
I assume you know the rest
One little slip
One little slip
It was a humble little stumble
With a big ungraceful...
One little slip
One little slip
It was a fusion of confusion
With a few confounding things
Our Blue Dot lyrics - Our Blue Dot
This blue dot is the only shot we've got
If it turns from blue to grey there'll be no way
To turn it back, that's not okay
It's our hometown, we won't let it burn down
It's only fair, let's dream to dare fresh water, food and air
Let's look after our blue dot
If you could stand back far enough and take a look from outer space
You'd see that our atmosphere is paper-thin, with 7 billion people and all life within
But how do you get someone to believe in something that they can't see?
We all believe our Earth is spherical, and evolution is as proven as our gravity
This blue dot is the only shot we've got
If it turns from blue to grey there'll be no way
To turn it back, that's not okay
It's our hometown, we won't let it burn down
It's only fair, let's dream to dare fresh water, food and air
Let's look after our blue dot
Our blue dot
As far as we can see
Our blue dot
There is no planet B
Our blue - Our blue dot
This blue dot is the only shot we've got
If it turns from blue to grey there'll be no way
To turn it back, that's not okay
It's our hometown, we won't let it burn down
It's only fair, let's dream to dare fresh water, food and air
Let's look after our blue dot
Our blue dot
Let's look after our blue dot
Our blue dot
Our blue dot
Thanks That Was Fun lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
I'm learning, I'm yearning
I'm burning all your stuff
But that's not enough
I'm faking, that I'm aching
Mistaking lust for love
Thanks, that was fun
Don't forget, no regrets
Except maybe one
Did I scare you
When I dared you?
I stared you in the eye
And told you goodbye
You mocked me
It shocked me
When you walked me to the bus
Thanks, that was fun
Don't forget, no regrets
Except maybe one
Made a deal not to feel
God, that's dumb
Everybody knows the deal fell through
I was hoping I could just blame you
When was it that I became so soft?
This sentimentality doesn't look good on me
I thought that you would be begging to be with me
I'm the one on my knees blubbering please
Let me stay
Deflated, and jaded
I hate it when you call
Which isn't at all
I've spoken, though broken
Here's a token of my love
Thanks, that was fun
Don't forget, no regrets
Except maybe one
Made a deal not to feel
God, that was dumb
Don't forget, no regrets
Except maybe one
Made a deal not to feel
Thanks, that was fun
The Big Bang Theory Theme lyrics - Barenaked Ladies
Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mystery,
That all started with the big bang (bang)!
"Since the dawn of man" is really not that long,
As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song.
A fraction of a second and the elements were made.
The bipeds stood up straight,
The dinosaurs all met their fate,
They tried to leap but they were late
And they all died (they froze their asses off)
The oceans and Pangaea
See ya wouldn't wanna be ya
Set in motion by the same big bang!
It all started with the big bang!
It's expanding ever outward but one day
It will pause and start to go the other way.
Collapsing ever inward, we won't be here, it won't be heard
Our best and brightest figure that it'll make an even bigger bang!
Australopithecus would really have been sick of us
Debating how we're here, they're catching deer (we're catching viruses)
Religion or astronomy (Descartes or Deuteronomy)
It all started with the big bang!
Music and mythology, Einstein and astrology
It all started with the big bang!
It all started with the big... bang!
You Run Away Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
You could turn and stay
But you run away from me.
I tried to be your brother
You cried and ran for cover
I made a mess, who doesn’t
I did my best but it wasn’t enough
You run away
You could turn and stay
But you run away from me.
I’ll give you something can cry about
One thing you should try it out
Hold a mirror shoulder high
When you’re older look you in the eye
When you’re older look you in the eye
I tried but you tried harder
I lied but you lied smarter
You made me guess who was it
I did my best but it wasn’t enough
OOOOHHHHHHHOOOHHH
You run away
You could turn and stay
But you run away from me
You run away (I tried to be your brother)
You could turn and stay (You cried and ran for cover)
But you run away from me (I made a mess, who doesn’t, I did my best but it wasn’t enough)
But that’s not something to cry about (crrryyyy!)
It’s not something to lie about
You run away (I tried to be your brother)
You could turn and stay (You cried and ran for cover)
But you run away from me (I made a mess, who doesn’t, I did my best but it wasn’t enough)
Summertime Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
Savoring every ounce of sunlight
What comes to be, gradually
Feels like overnight
So, bundle up
And hunker down
See you on the other side
Mercury falls so
How, how do we make it through the days?
How do we not cave in, and bottom out?
Well, you have to understand that
Soon enough we'll wake up from such a daze,
thanks to all the many ways
We're all pushing through, for Summertime
We cover it up, we bottle it in,
But that won't make it feel right
Toppin' it off, rubbing it in
There's always a big mess of white
So, bundle up
And hunker down
Here it comes again
Just one more round
See you on the other side
Mercury falls so
How, how do we make it through the days?
How do we not cave in, and bottom out?
Well, you have to understand that
Soon enough we'll wake up from such a daze,
thanks to all the many ways
We're all pushing through, for Summertime
Our love pushing through, for Summertime
How, how do we make it through the days?
How do we not cave in, and bottom out?
Well, you have to understand that
Soon enough we'll wake up from such a daze,
thanks to all the many ways
We're all pushing through, for Summertime
Another Heartbreak Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
Hold on, here comes another heartache
Too bad, but it's still a chance I had to take
Hold on, here comes another heartbreak
Soaking in another rainy day
I stopped to watch the long parade
Winding slowly through the maze
Hold on, here comes another heartbreak
Hold on, here comes another heartache
Too bad, but it's still a chance I had to take
Hold on, here comes another heartbreak
I lost my way in the summer breeze
I fell down to my hands and knees
And now I am searchimg
Through the autumn leaves
Hold on, here comes another heartbreak
Hold on, here comes another heartache
Too bad, but it's still a chance I had to take
Hold on, here comes another heartbreak
And here you stand in front of me
In all of the complexity
That I had Mistaken for simplicity
Hold on, here comes another heartbreak
Hold on, here comes another heartache
Too bad, but it's still a chance I had to take
Hold on, here comes another heartbreak
Hold on
Four Seconds Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
It's not what you know
(But) who you know
So's, you know
I can go with the flow
Build my note
Then throw to snow
Before the show
Stay low
Play it on a Dobro
Oh, I tiptoe to and fro
From Ontario
My stereo's blue like the rodeo
Growing like a freak show free throw
It's just the intro
Keep dropping like dominoes
One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four
Now rewind
What'd you have in mind?
Could we unwind?
I'm fine
We can find a streamline
Recombine - intertwine
If I'm gonna headline
Tryin' to be moving all the behinds
Line to line
Try to shine
Redesigned - redefined
Keeping up the spellbind
Gotta make it worth the grind
Just in time to have another close encounter of the third kind
One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four
I've been away for years and a day
You'd be thinking I'd be lonely
But I'm out here to stay
Wouldn't have it any other way
Oh flip, the light is turning orange
Coat ripped when I caught it in the door hinge
I slip when the lady in the four-inch
Bought it in a store in Germany
You wore it like a makeshift snowdrift
Had to get a gift
Saw the red shift rift
Gretta got an eyelift
Oh sure, that one's obscure
Maybe piss-poor, but I had to take a little detour
I've been away for years and a day
You'd be thinking I'd be lonely
But I'm out here to stay
Wouldn't have it any other way
One Mississippi
Two Mississippi
Three Mississippi
Four
On The Lookout Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
On the lookout
The wind stopped
We chose this spot
To begin
When we looked out
The waves crashed
Smashing our past
Moving fast
Nothing Lasts
Make it last
This all will pass
Just like us
Just like this spot
Don't miss this
We've only got one shot
Hold on this rock face
It's dried and cracked
But grab on
Don't wait long
Longing to
Look out for you
This all will pass
Just like us
Just like this spot
Don't miss this
We've only got one shot
On the lookout
On the lookout
On the lookout
On the lookout
Ordinary Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
Sunk so low, we just called it off
How an ordinary moment gets tossed
A more than ordinary woman's cost
Believe me
Believe me
Thought I understood
Fought to buy the whole neighborhood
You ought to try, "I told you so", it feels good
Bought it high, and sold as low as I could
Believe me
Believe me
It's come undone
Done
It's come undone
Done
Have another look, another look around
Have another look around
I can't stay too long
Can only play a handful of songs
How a melody can make up your mind
Take a memory and leave it behind
Believe me
Believe me
It's come undone
Done
It's come undone
Done
I Have Learned Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
There's known unknowns
Too long just wondering
Lazybones
Spare me the parlor tricks
That impress your fans
Waving your candlesticks
In your burned hands
I have learned to live with livin' with
Every choice we made
But I would love to live with giving this
Shaky voice some shade
I don't think you're comfortable
Until you're not
When things get wonderful
You get hot
Can you forgive me for
What I had to do?
I'd use a metaphor
But I'm done with you
I have learned to live with livin' with
Every choice we made
But I would love to live with giving this
Shaky voice some shade
Same sun
Same fun
Whole new world
I have learned to live with livin' with
Every choice we made
But I would love to live with giving this
Shaky voice some shade
I have learned to live with livin' with
Every choice we made
But I would love to live with giving this
Shaky voice some shade
Every Subway Car Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
But now it's all blue
It looks whack, but it's compact
And works like brand new
I had found an old Greyhound
But it wasn't my scene
I'm underground at the turnaround
Warehouses above
All I'm thinking of
You gave your heart to me
Soon the world will see
Our graffiti love
Spray paint on my glove
They'll wonder who you are
On every subway car
I'm on my own, I'm Sly Stallone
I did it for you
I've outgrown my wings, and flown
Into something brand new
I show restraint, I'm the Patron Saint
Of urban gardens in bloom
If I don't faint ingesting paint
Breathing all of these fumes
Warehouses above
All I'm thinking of
You gave your heart to me
Soon the world will see
Our graffiti love
Spray paint on my glove
They'll wonder who you are
On every subway car
On every subway car you look amazing
While streaming out of bars their glasses raising
Systematically refused
Then chemically removed
Our graffiti love
On every subway car
Jerome Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
You never walk alone
'Cause the ghosts dance all around you
All around you, in Jerome
Take the Bloody Basin Road
Through Black Water Canyon
Up the twisted road
To Mingus Mountain
Then you'll know you are home
In the ghost town called Jerome
Where the ghosts dance all around you
All around you, in Jerome
Bar brawlers and drifters
Gamblers and gun fighters
Ladies of the evening, and copper miners
They kept the jailhouse filled
'til it fell down the hill
When you walk in Jerome
You'll never walk alone
'Cause the ghosts dance all around you
All around you, in Jerome
All around you, in Jerome, in Jerome
All around you, in Jerome, in Jerome
All around you, in Jerome, in Jerome
They're all around you, in Jerome, in Jerome
They're all around you, in Jerome, in Jerome
How Long Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
It makes us strong
I maybe just meant to thank her
Strong and wrong
Don't say how long
Don't say how long
How long
We never discuss the notches
We just fight away
Even a busted watch is right twice a day
Don't say how long
Don't say how long
How long
Don't say how long
Don't say how long
How long
I know you know how it feels
I know you know it's for reals
I know you know I know you... so don't say it
That's what it takes to go there
On and on
You make a good case for nowhere
So that's where I've gone
Don't say how long
Don't say how long
How long
Don't say how long
Don't say how long
How long
Don't say when
Don't say where
Don't say how long
Golden Boy Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
Don't let the darkness in to take you away from yourself,
Nobody else, there's nobody left to make you run,
Somebody knew, maybe it's you, only left to be needing,
One of these days you're gonna wake up wondering how it went down,
Then in that daze you're gonna make up something and wallow around in your room,
Maybe it's soon, maybe it won't be for some time,
I hope you'll be, thinking of me, and I hope you won't be lonely,
[Chorus:]
Hang your head, don't let your hair fall out,
Hang your hat, at somebody else's house,
Game set and match, I have to give that to you, you are the man,
But wait, there's a catch, everyone sees right through you but that was the plan all along,
Cause tell me I'm wrong, tell me you wanted something else,
Went to the cone, made you a splone (?) now I hope you won't be lonely any more,
[Chorus:]
No no no, you're not a quitter,
So don't don't don't you be bitter,
Go go go where you glitter away.........
[Chorus: x2]
Somebody else's house, somebody else's house.
I Saw It Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
I saw it
We all did
It hurt
I heard it
We all hid
You took what we all hide
We all hide from
The hooks went right inside
That's where they hung
In the park
By the playground
I won't let you down
In the park
By the playground
I won't let you
You weighed and waited
You kept steady
You'd count, and recount it
Now you're ready
You took what we all hide
We all hide from
The hooks went right inside
Then the feeling numbs
I won't let you down
In the park
By the playground
From this point on
I won't let you down
You say you deserve it
I won't stand and observe it
From this point on
We won't allow this, brother
If we don't end this now
There'll be others
I won't let you down
In the park
By the playground
From this point on
I won't let you down
In the park
By the playground
From this point on
I won't let you down
In the park
By the playground
From this point on
I won't let you down
In the park
By the playground
From this point on
I won't let you down
In the park
By the playground
From this point on
I won't let you down
In the park
By the playground
From this point on
I won't let you down
In the park
By the playground
From this point on
The Love We're In Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
It could be the last time
You never want to throw that away
Why aren't we making the love we're in?
Less heart to heart, and more brain to brain
If you're feeling tender, I'm Novacain
Lets crash the party, I'll crash the plane
Why aren't we making the love we're in?
It could be the last time
You never want to throw that away
Why aren't we making the love we're in?
Even a beggar must have to choose.
They say you shouldn't wager more than you can lose
Make mine a double, just hold the booze
Why aren't we making the love we're in?
It could be the last time
You never want to throw that away
Why aren't we making the love we're in?
In, in
Anyone can make it but we're
In, in
Some will even fake it but we're
In, in
Why don't we just make the love we're in?
Why don't we just make the love we're in?
Why don't we just make the love we're in?
Watching The Northern Lights Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
Drifting in and out of sight
Forty miles above us
Watching the Northern Lights
Watching the Northern Lights
Watching the Northern Lights
Watching the Northern Lights
In the true northern darkness
Far from the sleeping towns
We lay there in silence
Young and free, half asleep, spellbound
We were watching the Northern Lights
Watching the Northern Lights
Watching the Northern Lights
In my mind after all this time
The memory is still clear
All I find I leave behind
The song is my souvenir
Watching the Northern Lights
Watching the Northern Lights
Watching the Northern Lights
Watching the Northern Lights
All In Good Time Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
In time away from the past
In time the pain heals at last
All in good time
In time the minutes dance
In time we trust a romance
In time we'll go live in France
All in good time
The clock has two hands
Strong to hold you tight
You can't buy another chance
To get things right
In time we learn to choose
In time we gain what we'll lose
In time we'll all sing the blues
All in good time
There is time, don't worry
Sometimes you won't care
And in time you won't hurry,
you're not going anywhere
In time we walk until
In time over the hill
In time we pay the bill
All in good time
All in good time
All in good time
All in good time
Moonstone Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
I really don't want to bother you
I will see this whole thing through
I really don't want to bother you
I Will
Shoulder the winter snow
I Will
Hold her and let her go
Tattered posters ??
They wrote your name there on the wall
Numbers meaningless to me
What will it do to disagree
I Will
Shoulder the weight he'll need
I Will
Hold her and let her bleed
Moonstone has never shaw so bright
Never in its history
Cold water will wave you goodbye
But you never gone from me
I Will
Shoulder the winter snow
I Will
Hold her and let her go
7 8 9 Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
6 is afraid of 7 'cause 7 ate 9
9 was minding his business
Talking to 10 about Gordy Howe's clothes
Why 7 ate 9 nobody knows
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10
What about 9?
7 ate 9
Oh, the cat'll have to live with 8 lives now
Ronaldo will have to make do
Ever since 7 ate 9 it seems
I've got an extra finger and an extra toe too
7 ate 9
Once upon a time in our solar system
We couldn't make do without 9
But Pluto's not a planet now
So 8 will do fine
Oh, the cat'll have to live with 8 lives now
The Chinese will be out of luck
Vampires will have to think of some other method
'Cause without their K 9's how will they suck?
7 ate 9
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10
What about 9?
7 ate 9, 7 ate 9, 7 ate 9
Oh, 7 ate 9
The Ninjas Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
Something was strange in the air
I woke up this morning and everything was different
I knew that the ninjas had been there
I looked all around my bedroom, underneath the dresser
Behind the bed, but nothing could be found
There was nothing left behind them, nowhere that I could find them
No fingerprints or crumbs on the ground
The ninjas are deadly and silent
They're also unspeakably violent
They speak Japanese, they do whatever they please
And sometimes they vacation in Ireland
The ninjas are deadly and silent
They're also unspeakably violent
They speak Japanese, they do whatever they please
And if you tear off their masks they'll be smiling
Pollywog In A Bog Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
Flips its tiny tail
Just like a great big whale
But smaller than a snail
It's a pollywog in a bog
Swims under soggy logs
One day he'll be a frog
Pollywog in a bog
Overhead a cedar tree
Gives the shade he needs
Munching while he feeds
On lily pads and weeds
Knows not where he's from
Or how his life had begun
He's not the only one
And soon he'll breathe through lungs
It's hard to believe
With the arms you'll receive
You'll lift your head
Above the water and breathe
Gills shrink away
And may there come a day
When you reach the shore
With a whole world to explore
Ribbit, ribbit, a tadpole exhibit
It's a transformation no one can inhibit
Amphibian change may seem strange
Take them gills and the tail and they all rearrange
Out come the legs for the jump, jump
Hope to the top of the stump, stump
Out come the legs for the jump, jump
Hope to the top of the stump, stump
Where the mud is deep
Frost will soon creep
And without a peep
A frog is fast asleep
It was a pollywog in a bog
Swam under soggy logs
In the morning fog
Pollywog in a bog
Pollywog in a bog
Swam under soggy logs
In the morning fog
Pollywog in a bog
Pollywog in a bog
Swam under soggy logs
In the morning fog
Raisins Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
I come from Canada
I came in first place in a nonexistent race
To rebuild the Parthenon
The Parthenon's in Greece or was it in Grease 2?
I can't keep my movies straight
When I make mistakes I use a lot of salt
'Cause salt makes m'steaks taste great
I don't want to be a bother
But I think the phone's for you
I've got orange pants, I wear them when I dance
But I don't get out that much
You are just too loud, I passed you in a crowd
Thank you and keep in touch
I don't speak Chinese, not even words like please
Thank you or how are you
But I can parle FranA ais, I parled a bit today
It seemed like the thing to do
I don't want to be a bother
But I think you're in my seat
Eraser Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
I draw it with a pencil because it's just a stencil
And if I do retry it, well then I can't deny it
I'm gonna need my little eraser
Eraser, eraser, eraser
Eraser, eraser, eraser
Eraser
I might have to redo it, I might have to work through it
But I try not to chew it 'cause I just shouldn't do it
'Cause I might need my little eraser
If I wrote you a letter but I made an error
I could fix it and make it better
If I make an error I can always make it better with my eraser
Eraser, eraser, eraser
Eraser, eraser, eraser
Eraser, eraser, eraser
Eraser, eraser, eraser
Erasure, erasure, erasure, erasure
Erasure, erasure, erasure, erasure
I Can Sing Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
I can knit a scarf but you can't knit a sweater
When I'm underwater I couldn't be wetter
Never go swimmin' in a mohair sweater
I can dance, I can dance, I can dance faster
I tried to keep up but it was a disaster
One more move and I'm gonna be the master
So crank it up loud on the ghetto blaster
I can eat, I can eat, I can eat more
And when it's not fresh from the local store
There's a little town in Labrador
Where she sells seashells by the shoe store
I can speak, I can speak, I can speak quicker
Imagine I made a way to make everyone currently frowning snicker
And on the guitar he could be a little slicker
Jimmy always said I was a good flat picker
Louis Loon Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
Into the cool green water
Swim around, swim around
By the fish and otters
Louis Loon
Louis Loon
Flap your wings, flap your wings
You're picking up speed
Soon you'll spring, soon you'll spring
High above the trees
June the beaver
Below you'll leave her
Gnawing on sticks, gnawing on sticks
With another dam to fix
Louis Loon
She hears your song
Echoing over lakes and hills
Lonely and long
Sometimes it's high, sometimes with a trill
Wherever you are
You are admired from afar
But just around the bend
You can always call your friends, call your friends
Splash, splash, splash, splash
Come on in and land
In a flash, in a flash
You're under water again
Looking to see when you surface where you'll be
Won't you stay? Won't you stay?
Your friends want to play
Won't you stay? Won't you stay?
Your friends wanna play
Won't you stay? Won't you stay?
Your friends wanna play
Won't you stay? Won't you stay?
Your friends want to play
Won't you stay? Won't you stay?
Your friends wanna play
Won't you stay? Won't you stay?
Your friends wanna play

Canadian Snacktime Trilogy: Snacktime Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
But a day without snack time that just isn't right
Oh snack time, oh snack time
How I love the vision of people everywhere
In harmony together and each one has their share
Oh at snack time, oh snack time
Snack time, snack time, talkin' 'bout snack time
Snack time, snack time, oh snack time
Oh snack time, oh snack time
Oh snack time
Canadian Snacktime Trilogy: Popcorn Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
She turned up the heat
now the pot is getting hot.
And then those popcorn kernels start to
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,.... POPCORN!
Canadian Snacktime Trilogy: Vegetable Town Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
The light posts are all rubbery asparagus, in Vegetable Town.
The roads are paved with sautéed onions.
Community hall is a hollow pumpkin, in Vegetable Town.
Won't you walk with me down to Vegetable Town?
Won't you walk with me down to Vegetable Town?
Where we can ride the zucchini subway,
or watch the carrot planes land on the runway.
In Vegetable Town. In Vegetable Town.
Would you walk with me down to Vegetable Town?
Would you walk with me down to Vegetable Town?
In Vegetable town. In Vegetable Town.
Would you walk with me down to Vegetable Town?
Drawing Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
I can see it, I can see it
And there's a castle in the cloud and it's floating on by
Can you see it? Can you see it?
With my imagination I can see it
With my pencil crayons I can draw it
On a piece of paper I can show it to you
I can show it to you
There's a purple hippopotamus riding on a bike
I can see it, I can see it
There's a spaceship over my house at night
I just know it, I just know it
With my imagination I can see it
With my pencil crayons I can draw it
On a piece of paper I can show it to you
I can show it to you
Draw, draw, drawing, na na na na na
Draw, draw, drawing, na na na na na
Na na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na na
My imagination, my imagination
My pencil crayons, my imagination
Humungous Tree Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
and it is gonna grow into a giant tree.
A gigantic tree. A ginormous tree.
A humungous tree for all the world to see.
You've gotta love the trees,
they even help us breathe.
They give us oxygen.
They give us scenery.
When I see a healthy trunk it makes me want to jump.
But I feel the opposite when I see a stump.
Help me plant this seed, this little tiny seed.
And let us watch it grow into a giant tree.
One gigantic tree here for you and me.
For our children's children's children's children's children to see.
My Big Sister Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
But I don't wanna wear her coat
Maybe black, it may fit perfect
But you and I both know, it's a girls coat
Now I can handle some hand me downs
Shirts and sandals are out of bounds
Balls and games and such, I don't mind
But a coat, over the line
Allergies Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
Uh, no man, I just suffer from
Allergies, allergies
Allergies, allergies
Allergic to cats, allergic to bees
Allergic to dust, allergic to trees
Allergic to mold, allergic to weeds
My little brother is allergic to meat
My friends' mother is allergic to wheat
Allergic to meat?
Allergic to wheat?
Gotta be tricky finding something to eat
Allergies, allergies
Allergies, allergies
Allergic to dogs, allergic to frogs
Allergic to nuts, I hate the guts
Allergic to smoke, it makes me choke
Allergic to shrimp, I'll blow up like a blimp
I get all itchy, and I start to wheeze
Even if I see a slice of cheese
A slice of cheese? I stat to wheeze
Hang on fellas I'm about to sneeze
Aaa, aaa, aaa, achoo!
Allergies, allergies
Allergies, allergies
Allergic to dogs, allergic to frogs
Allergic to eggs, allergic to legs
Allergic to heads, allergic to beds
Allergic to bark, it makes me snark
Allergic to face, allergic to bass
Allergic to guitars, allergic to the stars
Allergic to you, allergic to me
Allergic to birds, allergic to bees
