You Run Away Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
You run away
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)
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
Saving it up
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
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 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
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
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
Goes to show
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
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

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

On The Lookout Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
Roll this one from the top
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
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
Don't you know we lost?
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
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
No, don't know everything
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
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
My backpack was faded black
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
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
When you walk in Jerome
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
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
So, give it up for anger
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
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
Hey golden boy,
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.
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
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

The Love We're In Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
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?
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?
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
Floating like a dream cloud above the lake
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
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 we move so fast
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
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
Haven't said my point of view
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
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
1, 2, 3 and 4 more makes 7
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
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?

Oh, 7 ate 9
The Ninjas Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
I woke up this morning and everything was different
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
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
In a puddle by the trail
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
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
Raisins come from grapes, people come from apes
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
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
Eraser, eraser, eraser
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

I Can Sing Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
I can sing, I can sing, I can sing better
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
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
Dive down, dive down
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
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

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?

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?

Canadian Snacktime Trilogy: Snacktime Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
I wake up in the morning, I got to sleep at night
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

But a day without snack time that just isn't right
Oh snack time, oh snack time

Canadian Snacktime Trilogy: Vegetable Town Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
The houses are built with leafy lettuce.
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?
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
There's a blueberry pancake flying in the sky
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
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

Humungous Tree Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
I'm gonna plant this seed, this little tiny seed,
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.
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
I like my big sister
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
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

I Don't Like Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
I can eat pork 'til the cows come home
And cheese like it's going out of style
I like just about every type of vegetable
I like raisins, and nuts, and seeds, and olives
And pickles, and fruit, and beef, and bread
But I don't like... salmon.
I've jumped from a p lane with a parachute
Scuba'd to the ocean floor
Driven super-fast in a racing car
I've bungee jumped, and zip lined too,
I've crossed rope bridges over raging rivers
But I don't like... those spinny rides
I can fly my very own aeroplane
And I've been to the top of mountains
I've been to the top of the CN Tower
I can work on a ladder, I can climb a tree
I can look out the window of a really tall building
But if I stand close to the edge of a railing,
or up on a roof or something I realize
I don't like... heights so much
And cheese like it's going out of style
I like just about every type of vegetable
I like raisins, and nuts, and seeds, and olives
And pickles, and fruit, and beef, and bread
But I don't like... salmon.
I've jumped from a p lane with a parachute
Scuba'd to the ocean floor
Driven super-fast in a racing car
I've bungee jumped, and zip lined too,
I've crossed rope bridges over raging rivers
But I don't like... those spinny rides
I can fly my very own aeroplane
And I've been to the top of mountains
I've been to the top of the CN Tower
I can work on a ladder, I can climb a tree
I can look out the window of a really tall building
But if I stand close to the edge of a railing,
or up on a roof or something I realize
I don't like... heights so much
What A Wild Tune Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
Last night I heard the wolves,
last night I heard the wolves,
last night I heard the wolves,
they were howling at the moon,
howling at the moon,
howling at the moon.
What a wild tune, they were howling at the moon.
Last night I heard the breeze,
last night I heard the breeze,
last night I heard the breeze it was singing through the trees.
Then I heard some frogs,
then I heard some frogs,
then I heard some frogs they were croaking on a logs.
There's music in the air,
there's music in the air,
there's music in the air,
and the air is everywhere.
Last night I heard the wolves,
last night I heard the wolves,
last night I heard the wolves, they were howling at the moon.
Howling at the moon,
howling at the moon.
What a wild tune, they were howling at the moon.
last night I heard the wolves,
last night I heard the wolves,
they were howling at the moon,
howling at the moon,
howling at the moon.
What a wild tune, they were howling at the moon.
Last night I heard the breeze,
last night I heard the breeze,
last night I heard the breeze it was singing through the trees.
Then I heard some frogs,
then I heard some frogs,
then I heard some frogs they were croaking on a logs.
There's music in the air,
there's music in the air,
there's music in the air,
and the air is everywhere.
Last night I heard the wolves,
last night I heard the wolves,
last night I heard the wolves, they were howling at the moon.
Howling at the moon,
howling at the moon.
What a wild tune, they were howling at the moon.
Bad Day Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
I'm having a bad day
There's nothing you can do or say
To help me through this bad day
I think I'll just stay in my room
They didn't need to say
That they didn't want to play
I could have guessed it anyway
And that's why I'm here in my room
Seems like I'm the only one
Who's not outside and having fun
I wish this day had never begun
I think I'll just stay in my room
Sometimes I wanna run and hide
Today I wanna stay inside
Tell my bike to take itself for a ride
I'm staying in today
See the toys lying on the floor
I don't want them anymore
I think I'll sell them back to the store
Or give them all away
It feels like I'm the only one
Who's not outside and having fun
I wish this day had never begun
I think I'll just stay in my room
I don't need hugs and I don't want food
I wanna stay here in this lonely mood
I don't care if people think I'm rude
I wish they would all go away
Dad comes in and tells me with a kiss
Everyone has days like this
Brought my dinner said that I was missed
I think I'll be okay
I know I'm not the only one
To stay inside and watch the fun
Thanks a lot that helped a ton
Tomorrow's gonna be a better day
There's nothing you can do or say
To help me through this bad day
I think I'll just stay in my room
They didn't need to say
That they didn't want to play
I could have guessed it anyway
And that's why I'm here in my room
Seems like I'm the only one
Who's not outside and having fun
I wish this day had never begun
I think I'll just stay in my room
Sometimes I wanna run and hide
Today I wanna stay inside
Tell my bike to take itself for a ride
I'm staying in today
See the toys lying on the floor
I don't want them anymore
I think I'll sell them back to the store
Or give them all away
It feels like I'm the only one
Who's not outside and having fun
I wish this day had never begun
I think I'll just stay in my room
I don't need hugs and I don't want food
I wanna stay here in this lonely mood
I don't care if people think I'm rude
I wish they would all go away
Dad comes in and tells me with a kiss
Everyone has days like this
Brought my dinner said that I was missed
I think I'll be okay
I know I'm not the only one
To stay inside and watch the fun
Thanks a lot that helped a ton
Tomorrow's gonna be a better day
Things Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
There are things that make me mad,
You are not one of them.
There are things that make me sad,
You are not one of them.
There are things that make me Dad,
You seem to be all of them.
You are not one of them.
There are things that make me sad,
You are not one of them.
There are things that make me Dad,
You seem to be all of them.
Curious Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
If I climb a tree just to see what I see
Does that make me curious?
If I make a point of just cruising a joint
Would that make me curious?
And if it's profound this just lookin' around
Well, then gee whiz
Don't call me crazy, I've never been lazy
Curious it is
A touch of excess with a little finesse
It's simply luxurious
And if I confess to makin' this mess
Would that make you furious?
But after a while you'll be crackin' a smile
And that's when we'll see
If I may submit, you'll have to admit
You're curious like me
They say that curiosity was responsible
For the unfortunate demise of the cat
But with 8 more lives to investigate
What kind of a deal is that? Not bad
A furious sun can make for serious fun
So we won't let that worry us
'Cause the fun is outdone by a barrel of one
If that one's the furriest
If curious means that you trade your routines
For somethin' free
The freedom you feel's the whole point of the deal
So curious I'll be
Curiouser and curiouser sir
Curious
Curious like
Curious like me
Does that make me curious?
If I make a point of just cruising a joint
Would that make me curious?
And if it's profound this just lookin' around
Well, then gee whiz
Don't call me crazy, I've never been lazy
Curious it is
A touch of excess with a little finesse
It's simply luxurious
And if I confess to makin' this mess
Would that make you furious?
But after a while you'll be crackin' a smile
And that's when we'll see
If I may submit, you'll have to admit
You're curious like me
They say that curiosity was responsible
For the unfortunate demise of the cat
But with 8 more lives to investigate
What kind of a deal is that? Not bad
A furious sun can make for serious fun
So we won't let that worry us
'Cause the fun is outdone by a barrel of one
If that one's the furriest
If curious means that you trade your routines
For somethin' free
The freedom you feel's the whole point of the deal
So curious I'll be
Curiouser and curiouser sir
Curious
Curious like
Curious like me
A Word For That Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
There's a word for that
But I don't seem to know it
Sometimes I grow a mustache
Just so I don't have to show it
The word for that
That someone somewhere chose
For that little dented skin
Between my upper lip and nose
There's a word for that
What does it start with, the word for that?
I'd sound so smart if I only knew
The word for that, perhaps you do
The word you're looking for is philtrum
There's a word for that
It may come to me soon
It dangles down in my mouth
And is often in cartoons
The word for that
It seems like such a drag
To not know what to call
That little fleshy punching bag
There's a word for that
What does it start with, the word for that?
I'd sound so smart if I only knew
The word for that, perhaps you do
Do you mean uvula?
There's a word for that
It's on the tip of my tongue
Well, actually underneath it
And has been since I was young
The word for that
Although I wouldn't quote
It likely stops my tongue
From disappearing down my throat
There's a word for that
What does it start with, the word for that?
I'd sound so smart if I only knew
The word for that, perhaps you do
What does it start with, the word for that?
I'd sound so smart if I only knew
The word for that, perhaps you do
Are you nuts, it's frenulum
But I don't seem to know it
Sometimes I grow a mustache
Just so I don't have to show it
The word for that
That someone somewhere chose
For that little dented skin
Between my upper lip and nose
There's a word for that
What does it start with, the word for that?
I'd sound so smart if I only knew
The word for that, perhaps you do
The word you're looking for is philtrum
There's a word for that
It may come to me soon
It dangles down in my mouth
And is often in cartoons
The word for that
It seems like such a drag
To not know what to call
That little fleshy punching bag
There's a word for that
What does it start with, the word for that?
I'd sound so smart if I only knew
The word for that, perhaps you do
Do you mean uvula?
There's a word for that
It's on the tip of my tongue
Well, actually underneath it
And has been since I was young
The word for that
Although I wouldn't quote
It likely stops my tongue
From disappearing down my throat
There's a word for that
What does it start with, the word for that?
I'd sound so smart if I only knew
The word for that, perhaps you do
What does it start with, the word for that?
I'd sound so smart if I only knew
The word for that, perhaps you do
Are you nuts, it's frenulum
Wishing Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
I wish I could speak with my dog
I wish I could speak with my dog
I wish I could speak with my dog
Cause right now it's just a monologue
I wish I could walk on a cloud
I wish I could walk on a cloud
I wish I could walk on a cloud
I sure wish could walkin' was aloud
I wish every wish would come true
I wish every wish would come true
I wish every wish would come true
Cause it sure feels good when they do
I wish I could speak with my dog
I wish I could speak with my dog
Cause right now it's just a monologue
I wish I could walk on a cloud
I wish I could walk on a cloud
I wish I could walk on a cloud
I sure wish could walkin' was aloud
I wish every wish would come true
I wish every wish would come true
I wish every wish would come true
Cause it sure feels good when they do
Crazy ABC's Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
Hey Steve, hey Ed, that sounds nice, what is it?
Thank you, it's a, it's an alphabet song I'm working on
Oh great, a whole new alphabet, I just learned the old one
A is for aisle, B is for bdellium, C is for czar
And if you see him would you mind telling him?
Okay, hang on a second, yeah aisle, bdellium?
Yeah, aisle like a, like a theater, alright, okay and bdellium?
Bdellium, it's a gum like tree resin, it starts with a silent B
And then czar? Yeah, it's uh like a Russian czar
You know everybody knows apple, ball and cat
I wanted to get into some, you know some stranger words
Right, I see what you're doing
D is for djinn, E for Euphrates
F is for fohn, but not like when I call the ladies
I thought phone started with a P like a Ph
No, it's F O H N, it's a, it's a kind of wind
Yeah, I know what you mean by wind
G for gnarly, I for irk, H is for hour
J for jalapeA+os, good in either corn or flour
Tortillas, let us rhyme
K is for knick knack, L is for llama
Pramma, llama, ding, what's so strange about llama?
Llama, it starts with two L's, what's the second one for?
No idea, I know loser
M for mnemonic, N is for ndomo, O is for ouiga board
P for pneumonia, pterodactyl and psychosis, Q is for qat
Okay, Q qat? What? Yeah, it's uh Q A T, it's an evergreen shrub
It's a perfect scrabble word because it's a Q with no U
There's not many of those, you have too much time on your hands
R is for argyle , no it isn't
Okay, you're right, I couldn't find a good R word
S is for SzA?r, a lovely German river
T for tsunami, a wave that makes me quiver
U is for urn, but not like earning money
V for vraisemblance from French and therefore kind of funny
W for wren, wrinkly and who
X is for Xian, an ancient Chinese city, true
Ancient Chinese city, huh? My guitar player, some hotshot
Y is for yiperite, a very nasty gas
And zed's the final letter and by final I mean last
Okay, when you say zed for the benefit of our American friends
You really mean Z, right?
No, I mean zed, like, like Zed Zed Top, Zed Zed Top?
Yeah, you know the guys with the big long beards
Well, except the guy whose name is Beard, he has a mustache
I always thought that was interesting
You done with the alphabet?
No, extra letters I haven't heard of? I think so
This was a great help, I think
With the contribution you made to world literacy
Well, I'm just saying, kids I'm just saying
Think outside the box a little bit, box with an R
Yeah, well, no box with a B A L K S like a pitcher
Ah, as opposed to B A C H S
Right, think outside the box, get into some Rochmaninov
That's Rochmaninov with a W
Thank you, it's a, it's an alphabet song I'm working on
Oh great, a whole new alphabet, I just learned the old one
A is for aisle, B is for bdellium, C is for czar

Here Come The Geese Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
Look up in the sky
They said on the radio station
They're up quite high
Flying in a V formation
Here come the geese
Here come the geese
Now they're on the lawns
The patios and ponds
On the sidewalks
On the rooftops
On the hillside
On the playground slide
In the shadows
The parking lots, the meadows
The fences and ledges
Benches and hedges
In the schoolyard
On the boulevard
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Watch under your feet
They said on the radio station
Here come the geese
Flying in a V formation
Here come the geese
Flying in a V formation
Here come the geese
Flying in a V formation
Here come the geese
(Here come the geese)
Flying in a V formation
Here come the geese
(Here come the geese)
Flying in a V formation
Here come the geese
(Here come the geese)
Flying in a V formation
Here come the geese
(Here come the geese)
Flying in a V formation
Here come the geese
(Here come the geese)
Flying in a V formation
Flying in a V formation
Flying in a V formation
Flying in a V formation
Flying in a V formation
Flying in a V formation
They said on the radio station
They're up quite high
Flying in a V formation
Here come the geese
Here come the geese
Now they're on the lawns

Serendipity Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
So long ago, on a summer day
I put my best shirt on
I took you to the matinee
With money from mowing lawns
Money from mowing lawns
You worked down at the Dairy Queen
We hit it off from the start
Now there's a blizzard in between
Frost inside a heart
If I had a good reason, I would share
It with you
Then the coldest season came
Making room for something new
Good for you
Good for me
Call it serendipity
Walking on coals, just trying to get through
But summers don't last that long
All that is left here is the truth
Everything else is gone
Gone without a good reason for me to share
With you
When the coldest season came
Making room for something new
Good for you
Good for me
Call it serendipity
If I could only hit my stride
I'll make it to the other side
I don't wanna be roadkill
When there's half a cup to fill
To fill
Good for you (Call it serendipity)
Good for me (Serendipity)
Call it serendipity
Call it serendipity
Call it serendipity
Walking on coals, just trying to get through
Now summers don't last so long
All that is left here is the truth
Everything else is gone
I put my best shirt on
I took you to the matinee
With money from mowing lawns
Money from mowing lawns
You worked down at the Dairy Queen
We hit it off from the start
Now there's a blizzard in between
Frost inside a heart
If I had a good reason, I would share
It with you
Then the coldest season came
Making room for something new
Good for you
Good for me
Call it serendipity
Walking on coals, just trying to get through
But summers don't last that long
All that is left here is the truth
Everything else is gone
Gone without a good reason for me to share
With you
When the coldest season came
Making room for something new
Good for you
Good for me
Call it serendipity
If I could only hit my stride
I'll make it to the other side
I don't wanna be roadkill
When there's half a cup to fill
To fill
Good for you (Call it serendipity)
Good for me (Serendipity)
Call it serendipity
Call it serendipity
Call it serendipity
Walking on coals, just trying to get through
Now summers don't last so long
All that is left here is the truth
Everything else is gone
Something You'll Never Find Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
You're looking for something
That you'll never find
You've got the questions
You've got the time
You've got the bruises
To show you've been blind
'Cause you're looking for something
That you'll never find
I'm hoping you find it
And someday you might
But not in an instant
And not overnight
And I am the one who's
Holding you tight
Hoping you find it
And someday you might
Could you be the one
Could you be the one who will find it
Staring at the sun as you're blinded
Could you be the one who will find
That it's fine if it's not in me
You're looking for something
That's not even there
You're knocking down tables
You're kicking in chairs
I know you're angry
You know I don't care
Looking for something
That's not even there
Make me an offer
That I can't refuse
Set up my options
Force me to choose
You've been abandoned
I've been abused
Set up my options
'Cause I can't refuse
Oh, could you be the one
Could you be the one who will find it
Staring at the sun as you're blinded
Could you be the one who will find
That it's fine if it's not in me
Over in Indiana
Wearing their red bandanas
The Indians eat bananas
Thinking they're full of Vitamin C
Looking for someone
That I'll never be
Some kind of bondage
To make you feel free
A Lover, a savior
Oh, that isn't me
Well you're looking for someone
That I'll never be
Could you be the one
Oh could you be the one who will find it
Staring at the sun as you're blinded
Could you be the one who will find
That it's fine if it's not in me
That you'll never find
You've got the questions
You've got the time
You've got the bruises
To show you've been blind
'Cause you're looking for something
That you'll never find
I'm hoping you find it
And someday you might
But not in an instant
And not overnight
And I am the one who's
Holding you tight
Hoping you find it
And someday you might
Could you be the one
Could you be the one who will find it
Staring at the sun as you're blinded
Could you be the one who will find
That it's fine if it's not in me
You're looking for something
That's not even there
You're knocking down tables
You're kicking in chairs
I know you're angry
You know I don't care
Looking for something
That's not even there
Make me an offer

One And Only Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
Hey, pass the ball
Why do you run it in circles?
Waves crash the wall
Soon enough all your hard work will fail
Wait, hold the phone
I don't know if I can take this
Leave me alone
I don't know if I can make this work
See, I know I'm lost and lonely
Please go slow; I'm one and only
I need to think
'Cause now I've got everyone wondering
Pass me a drink
Last, but not least, and my virtue's gone
Lend me a hand
I think I could walk if you help me
Please understand
If I could talk, I would tell you why
See, I know I'm lost and lonely
Please go slow; I'm one and only
Only one
All or none
My heart's done
Weighs a ton
Hold me a while
Tell me you'll never be leaving
I'll walk the mile
Seeing but not quite believing you
See, I know I'm lost and lonely
Please go slow; I'm one and only
See, I know I'm lost and lonely (See, I know I'm lost and lonely)
Please go slow; I'm one and only (Please go slow; I'm one and only)...
Why do you run it in circles?
Waves crash the wall
Soon enough all your hard work will fail
Wait, hold the phone
I don't know if I can take this
Leave me alone
I don't know if I can make this work
See, I know I'm lost and lonely
Please go slow; I'm one and only
I need to think
'Cause now I've got everyone wondering
Pass me a drink
Last, but not least, and my virtue's gone
Lend me a hand
I think I could walk if you help me
Please understand
If I could talk, I would tell you why
See, I know I'm lost and lonely
Please go slow; I'm one and only
Only one
All or none
My heart's done
Weighs a ton
Hold me a while
Tell me you'll never be leaving
I'll walk the mile
Seeing but not quite believing you
See, I know I'm lost and lonely
Please go slow; I'm one and only
See, I know I'm lost and lonely (See, I know I'm lost and lonely)
Please go slow; I'm one and only (Please go slow; I'm one and only)...
Angry People Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
That's the problem, dear, with angry people
They try to go it alone
Digging in and making cranky feeble pleas
That other angries disown
Angry people think a good solution
Is getting others involved
So they surround themselves with happy people
And watch their smiles dissolve
We just drag them down
We just drag them down
We just drag them down
Until they're just like us
Angry people get so sanctimonious
Telling us what to do
Hoping no one outs them all as phonies just cause
We are all phonies too
And those of us who once had wives and families
Understand what I mean
What was once a calm and peaceful refuge
Is overtaken by spleen
'Cause we just drag them down
We just drag them down
We just drag them down
Until they're just like us
I am the singer in the band
We're only trying to lend a hand
And though it's not what we had planned
We understand
That we just drag you down
We just drag you down
We just drag you down
Until you're just like us
In a square a thousand angry people
Are waving signs in the air (HEY!)
While a million other happy people
Are trying hard not to care (BACK OFF!)
You see, the happy people's biggest problem
Is they're never fearing the worst
While the rest of us will never sleep until
Your happy bubbles are burst
Yeah, we just drag them down
Didn't I just drag you down
Just watch me drag you down
Until you're just like us
Until you're just like us
Oh, until you're just like us
Until you're just like us
They try to go it alone
Digging in and making cranky feeble pleas
That other angries disown
Angry people think a good solution
Is getting others involved
So they surround themselves with happy people
And watch their smiles dissolve
We just drag them down
We just drag them down
We just drag them down
Until they're just like us
Angry people get so sanctimonious
Telling us what to do
Hoping no one outs them all as phonies just cause
We are all phonies too
And those of us who once had wives and families
Understand what I mean
What was once a calm and peaceful refuge
Is overtaken by spleen
'Cause we just drag them down
We just drag them down
We just drag them down
Until they're just like us
I am the singer in the band
We're only trying to lend a hand
And though it's not what we had planned
We understand
That we just drag you down
We just drag you down
We just drag you down

Oh, until you're just like us
Until you're just like us
Down To Earth Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
Some people are just all show
Well, I don't mind that if the show is worth watching
But it's all bark and no tree
What's more ironic than a hippie in Versace?
It's all peace and love and limousines
You got the right message, but the wrong intentions
How can you be touchy-feely when you've lost touch?
I think it's time we had a little intervention with you
Hey now, wake up
And lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite)
There's no better friends than the, the kind you pay
If they don't balance, great - then the door will keep revolving
It's a tight circle of the chosen few
Well, how'd you manage that with the recipe involving
Just a pinch of sweetness and a cup of angst?
Mix it all up - you're the all-purpose flour
Though it looks delicious, something smells bad
I don't think I'd last a half an hour with you
Hey now, wake up
And lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite)
What's it like to love you
When there's no one else above you
And no one gets to know you?
Well, who'll be there to show you (via satellite)?
It's like making love to a TV
It's kinda novel, but it's miles away from satisfying
Your hangers-on say it's a great deal
But what you're selling, there's no chance in hell that I'll be buying
Hey now, wake up
And lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite)
Well, I don't mind that if the show is worth watching
But it's all bark and no tree
What's more ironic than a hippie in Versace?
It's all peace and love and limousines
You got the right message, but the wrong intentions
How can you be touchy-feely when you've lost touch?
I think it's time we had a little intervention with you
Hey now, wake up
And lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite)
There's no better friends than the, the kind you pay
If they don't balance, great - then the door will keep revolving
It's a tight circle of the chosen few
Well, how'd you manage that with the recipe involving
Just a pinch of sweetness and a cup of angst?
Mix it all up - you're the all-purpose flour
Though it looks delicious, something smells bad
I don't think I'd last a half an hour with you
Hey now, wake up
And lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite)
What's it like to love you
When there's no one else above you
And no one gets to know you?
Well, who'll be there to show you (via satellite)?
It's like making love to a TV
It's kinda novel, but it's miles away from satisfying
Your hangers-on say it's a great deal
But what you're selling, there's no chance in hell that I'll be buying
Hey now, wake up
And lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite)
Beautiful Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
What if you were not just for show?
What if you were not good to go?
What if you were simply not so
Beautiful
What if you were not thin and tall?
What if you were done with it all?
What if you were not baby-doll
Beautiful
(Beautiful)
Isn't she?
(Beautiful)
Paid to be
(Beautiful)
When I see
(Beautiful)
Shame on me
Hoping that it's deeper than skin
Open to the beauty within
Scoping out the room's not a sin
Beautiful
Beautiful
And not much else
Not much else going on
No matter 'cause no one's as
(Beautiful)
Everytime she walks in the room their heads all turn to find her
(Beautiful)
Everything she says I simply say I never mind.*
(Beautiful)
Everyone she sees seems to ignore the whole experience.
(Beautiful)
Everytime she sees me checking her appearance
What if one day I wake up blind?
Would I go on losing my mind?
Groping in the dark just to find
Beautiful
Beauty disappears
Boredom perserveres
(Beautiful)
Isn't she?
(Beautiful)
Paid to be
(Beautiful)
When I see
(Beautiful)
Shame on me
(Beautiful) Isn't she?
Everytime she walks in the room their heads all turn to find her
(Beautiful) Paid to be
Everything she says I simply say I never mind.
(Beautiful) When I see
Everyone she sees seems to ignore the whole experience.
(Beautiful)
Shame on me
What if you were not good to go?
What if you were simply not so
Beautiful
What if you were not thin and tall?
What if you were done with it all?
What if you were not baby-doll
Beautiful
(Beautiful)
Isn't she?
(Beautiful)
Paid to be
(Beautiful)
When I see
(Beautiful)
Shame on me
Hoping that it's deeper than skin
Open to the beauty within
Scoping out the room's not a sin
Beautiful
Beautiful
And not much else
Not much else going on
No matter 'cause no one's as
(Beautiful)
Everytime she walks in the room their heads all turn to find her
(Beautiful)
Everything she says I simply say I never mind.*
(Beautiful)
Everyone she sees seems to ignore the whole experience.
(Beautiful)
Everytime she sees me checking her appearance
What if one day I wake up blind?
Would I go on losing my mind?
Groping in the dark just to find
Beautiful
Beauty disappears
Boredom perserveres
(Beautiful)
Isn't she?
(Beautiful)
Paid to be
(Beautiful)
When I see
(Beautiful)
Shame on me
(Beautiful) Isn't she?
Everytime she walks in the room their heads all turn to find her

(Beautiful) When I see
Everyone she sees seems to ignore the whole experience.

Shame on me
Running Out Of Ink Lyrics – Barenaked Ladies
I stopped into a club
I thought I'd see a show
Everyone was there
At least everyone I know
Their knickers in a knot
Their hands upon their heart
The best they'd ever seen
The greatest work of art
I wished that it was me....
It's bleaker than you think
I'm running out of ink
Give a guy a break
This is what it takes
To drive a man to drink
A party at a friend's
Toronto's coolest scene
I thought I'd bring a tape
To show them where I'd been
And listen for a while
The lyrics made them smile
They said that it was fine
Although it's not the style
I said it wasn't me
Once upon a time
I couldn't get enough
Until I made it big
And that's when it got rough
Dissapointed now
Perhaps a bit surprised
To look them in the face
And see it in their eyes
They wish it wasn't me
It's bleaker than you think
I'm running out of ink
Give a guy a break
This is what it takes
To drive a man to drink
I used to hold you close
You used to tell me things
You never told a soul
Until you heard me sing
The details of your life
Condensed into a song
The neighbor and his wife
Work out and sing along
And you can't look at me
It's bleaker than you think
I'm running out of ink
Give a guy a break
This is what it takes
To drive a man to drink
Could song be an alibi
A lyric replacement for falling in love
But now that the well is dry
I can't understand what I've been singing of...
Do you know what it is to love?
To really love?
To really love....
Do I?
I cycled by your house
I saw you on the lawn
I see you all the time
Now that you are gone
I tried to call your name
But something made me stop
I call you once a day
Until you call the cops
And told them it was me
I filled a plastic bag
with everything I wrote
I threw it off a bridge
and thought that it would float.
The water made it sink
the bag was bleeding ink.
I wished that I could swim
I wished that I could drink
I wished that it was me.
It's bleaker than you think
I'm running out of ink
Give a guy a break
This is what it takes
To drive a man to drink
I'm running out of ink
Give a guy a break
This is what it takes
To drive a man to drink
To drive a man to drink
To drive a man to drink
I thought I'd see a show
Everyone was there
At least everyone I know
Their knickers in a knot
Their hands upon their heart
The best they'd ever seen
The greatest work of art
I wished that it was me....
It's bleaker than you think
I'm running out of ink
Give a guy a break
This is what it takes
To drive a man to drink
A party at a friend's
Toronto's coolest scene
I thought I'd bring a tape
To show them where I'd been
And listen for a while
The lyrics made them smile
They said that it was fine
Although it's not the style
I said it wasn't me

And that's when it got rough

To drive a man to drink
To drive a man to drink
