Lyrics That Made You Laugh

Johnny Cash’s One Piece At A Time. Even all these years later.

 

"..I've got the big brush for your bowl..!" - DEVO 'Clockout' ( Gerald V. Casale )

Makes me crack up every time I hear it.
It's actually a fun lyric not only in its absurdity, but also a bit naughty when interperated as innuendo.

Ray Davies / The Kinks "The Moneygoround"

Oh can somebody explain why things go on this way
I thought they were my friends I can't believe it's me, I can't believe that I'm so green



Robert owes half to Grenville
Who in turn gave half to Larry
Who adored my instrumentals
And so he gave half to a foreign publisher
She took half the money that was earned in some far distant land
Gave back half to Larry and I end up with half of goodness knows what
Oh can somebody explain why things go on this way
I thought they were my friends I can't believe it's me, I can't believe that I'm so green
Eyes down round and round let's all sit and watch the moneygoround
Everyone take a little bit here and a little bit there
Do they all deserve money from a song that they've never heard
They don't know the tune and they don't know the words
But they don't give a damn
There's no end to it I'm in a pit and I'm stuck in it
The money goes round…

My fav from Pretty Fly for a White Guy:

“But everything he lacks, well, he makes up in denial”

 

Two from Eno ....

Kurt's Rejoinder :
...
Celebrate the loss of one and all all all
And separate the torso from the spine
Burger Bender bouncing like a ball ball ball
So Burger Bender bargain blender shine.

and Backwater :
...
Oh we're floating in the coastal waters
You and me and the porter's daughters
Ooh what to do not a sausage to do
And the shorter of the porter's daughters
Dips her hand in the deadly waters
Ooh what to do in a tiny canoe

Black water
There were six of us but now we are five
We're all talking
To keep the conversation alive
There was a senator from Ecuador
Who talked about a meteor
That crashed on a hill in the south of Peru
And was found by a conquistador
Who took it to the emperor
And he passed it on to a Turkish guru
