Momus - Pinocchio lyrics
[Momus - Pinocchio lyrics]
Did you hear the news about Peggy Sue?
She married Pinocchio
They got photoshopped down at the zoo
He lied when he said "I do"
Pinocchio is the boy with the nose
And when he lies, it grows
And even here in Tokyo i hate Pinocchio
Get me a witness in a slit gown
Get me Ginger Baker from Cream
Get me Joe Cocker on a white swan
I used to be in love, but it's all gone wrong
Well she used to be mine, I used to feel fine
Used to pick her up about a quarter to nine
Take her down to the five and dime
Even though we lived in Newcastle On Tyne
Well, back in the day I had a big DA
A Rickenbacker 50 and an old PA
I'd spit on my hands, living the dream
Paying the band in Brylcream
Well the bassist and the
Drummer looked like toads
But they could rev the Triumph
And they could rev the Rhodes
And the drummer was my brother
And we liked to play hot
We'd share the girls, share the lot
And Peggy Sue was a chick we knew
Waitressing at the Hullabaloo
We used to take turns it still burns
But a brother is a brother
And you live and learn
Well you play the hokey cokey and
You shake it all about
Put your left leg in, your right leg out
Well you do Peggy Sue, then you pop out
You scratch and frown and sit down
Pinocchio is the boy with the eyes
And when the world dies, he cries
And Pinocchio was the boy with the ears
And when the world dies, he hears
But what's that noise coming out of his car?
Britney Spears
Keep on doing the hokey cokey
Shaking it about
You put your left leg in, your right leg out
Get me a witness in a slit gown
Get me Ginger Baker from Cream
We used to blast Little Richard over the Tyne
But since they built the bridge
He takes the train
Well you do the hokey cokey and
You shake it all about
You put your left leg in, your right leg out
Even when there's nothing to shout about
Well you know how to fake it
So you really scream and shout
You've got a guitar face
A Rickenbacker frown
You shake it all about and you don't sit down
You keep on doing the hokey kokey
Till you're all clapped out
And even here in Tokyo i hate Pinocchio
She married Pinocchio
They got photoshopped down at the zoo
He lied when he said "I do"
Pinocchio is the boy with the nose
And when he lies, it grows
And even here in Tokyo i hate Pinocchio
Get me a witness in a slit gown
Get me Ginger Baker from Cream
Get me Joe Cocker on a white swan
I used to be in love, but it's all gone wrong
Well she used to be mine, I used to feel fine
Used to pick her up about a quarter to nine
Take her down to the five and dime
Even though we lived in Newcastle On Tyne
Well, back in the day I had a big DA
