Vocal:John Linnell/John Flansburgh | |
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 (manonam) | |
I palindrome I (manonam) | |
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 (manonam) | |
I palindrome I (manonam) | |
I palindrome I (manonam) | |
I palindrome I (manonam) | |
'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) | |

I palindrome I (I palindrome I) | |

And I am a snake head eating (snake head) | |
The head on the opposite side (snake head) | |

Notes | |
Dial-a-Song had a substantially different song with the same name. This piece, which had a different melody and was sung by Flansburgh instead of Linnell, goes as follows: | |
I Palindrome I | |
Born on the 5th of July | |
One door shut, another one closed | |
I Palindrome I | |
She king of Brooklyn she | |
Master of all she surveys | |
Lives a life unencumbered by me | |
She king of Brooklyn she | |
Man, when I was a young man | |
Not like I'm driving a rocking chair now, but | |
Man, when I was a young man | |
I was free | |
I Palindrome I | |
Mister 5th of July | |
One door shut, another one closes for | |
I Palindrome I | |
Man, when I was a young man | |
Not like I'm driving a rocking chair now, but | |
Man, when I was a young man | |
I was free | |
I Palindrome I | |
Something just fell on my head | |
Born on the 5th of July | |
I Palindrome I | |

Something just fell on my head | |
