Lyrics

Standby. you're on the air. buenos noches senores y senoras. bienvenidos. la primera pregunta es: que es mas macho, pineapple o knife? well, let's see. my guess is that a pineapple is more macho than a knife. si! correcto! pineapple es mas macho que knife. la segunda pregunta es: que es mas macho, lightbulb o schoolbus? uh, lightbulb? no! lo siento, schoolbus es mas macho que lightbulb. gracias. and we'll be back in un momento. well I had a dream and in it I went to a little town and all the girls in town were named betty. and they were singing: doo doo doo doo doo. doo doo doo doo doo. ah desire! it's cold as ice and then it's hot as fire. ah desire! first it's red and then it's blue. and everytime I see an iceberg it reminds me of you. doo doo doo doo doo. doo doo doo doo doo. que es mas macho iceberg or volcano? get the blanket from the bedroom we can go walking once again. down in the bayou where our sweet love first began. I'm thinking back to when I was a child - way back to when I was a tot. when I was
An embryo - a tiny speck. just a dot. when I was a hershey bar - in my father's back pocket. hey look! over there! it's frank sinatra sitting in a chair. and he's blowing perfect smoke rings up into the air. and he's singing: smoke makes a staircase for you to descend. so rare. ah desire! ah desire! ah desire! so random so rare and everytime I see those smoke rings I think you're there. que es mas macho staircase o smoke rings? get the blanket from the bedroom we can go walking once again. down in the boondocks where our sweet love first began. ooo I'm gonna follow you. out in the swamps and into town. down under the boardwalk track you down. doo doo doo doo doo. doo doo doo doo doo. doo doo doo doo doo. doo doo doo doo doo
