Snail Shell

	Vocal：John Linnell/John Flansburgh
	Sir hand
	Or is it ma'am
	I fell out of my right place again
	And you
	Considered me
	And now I'm where a snail has to be
	I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell
	I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell
	Was it something you would do for anybody?
	Was it what you'd only do for me?
	I need to know because you see
	I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell
	Friend
	Look what you gave
	And how can you ever be repaid?
	How may I give you a hand
	From the position at your feet where I stand?
	So let me thank you for putting me back in my snail shell
	I'd like to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell
	Was it something you would do for anybody?
	Was it what you'd only do for me?
	I need to know because you see
	I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell
	Snail Shell
	Thank you
	Snail Shell
	Thank you
	Ah
	Ah
	Ah
	Was it something you would do for anybody?
	Was it what you'd only do for me?
	Or was it something where you acted when you saw the need
	And knew that there would be a way the act could be repaid
	And so it may, but for today
	I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell
	Notes
	Some variations occur in other versions (like Snail Dust) but they only consist of deleting or rearranging verses.
