Lyrics
This is the song everyone would like to learn
the song that is irresistable
the song that forces men
to leap overboard in sqadrons
even though they see their demise
the song nobody knows
because everyone who's heard it
is dead
and the others can't
can't remember
La La La La La La
shall I tell you the secret
and if I do will you get me out of this bird suit
I don't enjoy it here
squatting on this island
looking mythical and picturesque
with these maniacs
I don't enjoy singing this song
though it's valuable, but fatal
La La La La La La
I will tell you the secret
but just to you, only to you
I'm crying for help
help me! help me!
only you can
come closer now
at last! alas, it is a boring song
but it works every time
