Lyrics

Someday mother will die and I'll get the money
Mom leans down and says, "My sentiments exactly
You son of a bitch"
I palindrome I
(I palindrome I)
I palindrome I
(I palindrome I)
And I am a snake-head eating
(Snake-head)
The head on the opposite side
(Snake-head)
I palindrome I
(Man o' 'nam)
I palindrome I
(Man o' 'nam)
See that bulletproof dress hanging from the clothesline
See the medical chart with the random zig-zag
Now I'll help it decide
I palindrome I
(I palindrome I)
I palindrome I
(I palindrome I)
And I am a snake-head eating
(Snake-head)
The head on the opposite side
(Snake-head)
I palindrome I
(Man o' 'nam)
I palindrome I
(Man o' 'nam)
I palindrome I
(Man o' 'nam)
I palindrome I
(Man o' 'nam)
"Son, I am able," she said, "Though you scare me"
"Watch," said I
"Beloved," I said, "Watch me scare you though" said she
"Able am I, son"
See the spring of the grandfather clock unwinding
(Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age)
See the hands of my offspring making windmills
(Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age)
Dad palindrome Dad

And I am a snake-head eating

The head on the opposite side
