DShe lifted the monument in her mAonumental arms
She was thCe mother superior with herG carry-on luggage charms
She was Dthis androgynous powder Anosed girl next door
She had eCaten her dog and she was Gback for more
A#Back for mDore
A#Back for mDo-ore
A#Oh, she waDs back for more
Some mGore? yes pleaAse, some mDore
DHer gym teacher thought himself a Asweat sock demi god
Her geranCiums thought themselves an aliGen pod
DHer front porch gave way beneath the Aclassified weight
CAnd when the ambulance came they said it's mGuch too late
A#Oh, it's much too laDte
A#Oh, it's much too, mDuch too late
A#Oh, it's much too laDte
GHow late? Very laAte, too laDte
Now the peoplDe of New Guinea and the Apeople of LA
Have been pCen pals for years cause they bGoth hate ballet
Only the pandaDs and bears have made a clAean getaway
But the newsC bulletin claims it's gonGna be ok
Now Miss LDucy had a sweatshop where theA immigrants worked
Problem Cwas they all turned to pumpkins at the twelGve o'clock stroke
Promptly confisDcated by police Aprecinct number X
That was whCen the alien geraniums dGemanded the facts
A#No violencDe of course
A#No violencDe, no violence, of course
A#Hey, hey nDo violence, of course
GOff course? Why yeAs, of coDurse
DHere the story gets hazy and the Ahair gets too long
CThe TV gets quiet as we hearG a real bad song
DThe mothers get whiskey and the girlAfriends get tongue
And there'Cs a back of a truck selling Gsmoke free lungs
And there'Ds a back of a truck selling alAien pods
And there'Cs a back of a truck selling gGame show hosts
And there'Ds a back of a truck selling the sAouls of the dead
And there'Cs a back of a truck selling crGumb free bread
And there'Ds a back of a truck selling the bAack of a car
And there'Cs a back of a car selling roGadway maps
And there Dare roadway maps selling the baAck of a head
CHey, how much for that back of a head, man?
GHey wait a minute, hey wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute,
that's mDy back of a heAad, hey you can't sell that man
that's mCy back of a heaGd
Hey sell it back to me man
Sell it back to me
DIt's, it's my m-m-m-m-m-mA-minCe G
