lyrics

Took my toothbrush,
And my pliers,
Might will need to rush
Through some wires
Need my teeth clean
For the orbital elves,
Also some provisions
To keep hold of myself.

I'll just
Harvest some edibles
From the sofa,
Put it in a wholesome,
Empty oiljar
Bait a mousetrap
To catch the fugitive brush,
But what about, about the socks, man?
Damn, I'm gonna blush!

Have it blue or have it yellow,
Two different socks don't make a handsome fellow!
I can potter all around, but what I get
Is a dirty green rag!

Look at me -
Running up and down the flat
Collecting memos -
Put a pot to the stove,
Where the blowtorch torch-blows,
Left to accquire make
My dirty rag go neat,
Are a huge pile of detergent
And a fair amount of heat.

So, pack the bag with my rag
Now, as the cloth has dried,
Stomp it all into the suitcase,
'cause the time is right -
Organon already waiting for me,
Wait, what's going on?
It doesn't fit, doesn't do the trick,
I must not get this wrong!

Have it blue or have it yellow,
Two different socks don't make a handsome fellow!
Who needs pliers anyway, I'd rather take along
Some clean, doobedoo, clean green rag!
