POLYESTER - Lyrics

I just met a cat He's all dressed in black He won't take his bath He just goes through my trash can I spoke to a gypsy girl She read my palm Got it all wrong Then charged me twenty bucks Jinx! I'm Jinxed! There's nothing good to watch I'm tired and bored I'll kill my TV Right after these commercials I'm so down to earth I'm stuck in the dirt I've been here since birth And my best friend is a worm Jinx! I'm Jinxed!
As long as you're here I'll carry your books For you my dear We'll cheat on the test Like everyone else We'll try our best Pretty good grades for a dinosaur brain These pencils are sharp But not sharp enough At least it's a start Well, you know the drill This medicine jar Needs a refill Pretty good grades for a dinosaur brain
Late night talk show hosts always talk the most Now I'm in my prime I just don't have time Well, I failed my math Oh well, how 'bout that I've gone into shock I've got writer's block Look what I... look what I drew I made this... I made this for you Roses are red, violets aren't blue You know I... you know I ___ You Rain on my parade What a mess you made I won't make a fuss I'll just take the bus Sleeping on the floor Makes my back real sore And if you cannot sleep Just try counting sheep Look what I... look what I drew I made this... I made this for you Roses are red, violets aren't blue You know I... you now I ___ You Late night talk show hosts Rain on my parade Well, I failed my math While sleeping on the floor Look what I... look what I drew I made this... I made this for you Roses are red, violets aren't blue You know I... you know I ___ You
Policeman in a pail Painting pink pyjamas Paper for the princes Printing propaganda Postman looking pale Poaching pretty pandas Pillows for the pixies Pulling plastic lamas Patrolman posting bail Punching pregnant Anna Poison for the patient Peeling black bananas Penman with a pigtail Patching punk verandas Pennies for the Pisces Pawning prom bandanas Policeman learning Braille Paving plump iguanas Panic for the princess Petting pet piranhas
Who needs a messiah? We can build our own Made from steel and spare parts, and not a single bone Our own robot Jesus under our control Comes with built-in prayers and an electric soul It's been a long time Always the same song Enjoy the sunshine 'Cause it won't last long We can make him smarter, we can give him style With a chip for a brain and a solar powered smile Our own robot Jesus who runs on batteries Kneeling down to worship on his metal knees It's been a long time Always the same song Enjoy the sunshine 'Cause it won't last long Instead of crucifixion and nails in both his hands He can be recycled into pet food cans Our own robot Jesus who glows in the dark Searching for a prayer with his plastic heart It's been a long time Always the same song Enjoy the sunshine 'Cause it won't last long
I know a girl who washes her hands as often as she possibly can But someday soon, she will notice That all she has left are nothing but wrists My mother said, "Here's how it works. You don't get sick, if you play in the dirt" I know a boy who won't leave his house Lays on his bed, lays on the couch But someday soon, he'll get some air He'll get some sun and grow back his hair My mother said, "Here's how it works. You don't get sick, if you play in the dirt"
I like to bite my nails with a hammer I don't make sense but, what does it matter I forgot your name Pass me the ashtray It's on the tip of my tongue An apple a day keeps the doctor away For part of my life, I had good eyesight I'd read the fine print, even in dim light Now I need glasses To see where the grass is Out in my own backyard An apple a day keps the doctor away
