Get It Along Gum

from Vowel Play by The Retro Spankees

lyrics

I put a curse on a gypsy lady to confuse her.
She wanted me to stop and go away,
But instead I stayed.

Catch you later alligator,
See you later, you stranger.

The spiral man would not let me use his hair product; 80's vinyl.
We had to climb upstairs,
and all the way downstairs again.

Dance, dance, let the artifact see me.
Scream, scream, when I work out my theory.
Chew the gum to get along,
Catch the subject of the letter.
Ignoring, that's bad,
But progress is better.

Next time we'll spend the whole night on the middle floor,
It would kill us.
Find a window, look through,
Laugh hysterically at you, you and you.
