[Catbird]
Why not live?

[Chorus]
The catbird shrilled!

[Catbird]
And give a guy a chance!
For soon the moon will sing a tune and I'll be left to dance

[Uncle Remus]
Well, strangers have left on longer trains before

[Catbird]
Yes, shake and shout and cause a spout to be a mockery!
Exist inside a lemon drop and cause no word to be
If after all this oleo a speck of dust exists
We'll set aside a common tide 'twixt friend and who he's kissed

[Enigmatic Foe]
He thought the end was overdue, but day broke him instead
And consequently what he read was never what he said
And don't you never...

[Chorus]
Said the ever Enigmatic Foe
[Enigmatic Foe]
...lose your cool, or after school
They'll find me home in bed

[Catbird]
What hoe you rake you fake a taking and a mating moo;
Confuse to use and quick to break are simple rules to you
Why send a curly head to bed and know her secrets too?

[Enigmatic Foe]
Glue it down you dripping clown, and be not busy, too;
If a needy, if a seedy lets him come on through
Keys are not thrust open spores, and neither is a broken store!
There are clothes that haven't been worn
Feet that haven't been shorn
There's causes that haven't been given a principle
Need I say more?

[Uncle Remus]
The soft spoken edge was a close fit
With the warped open cracks so many

[All]
The quick brain drained the main
And the ships a goin' down me mates
The ship she's a goin' down
The ship' she's a goin' down
The ship' she's a goin' down
The ship' she's a goin' down
Down down down down down
Down down down down down
The quick brain drained the main
And the ships she's a goin' down, boys
The ship she's a goin' down
The ship' she's a goin' down
The ship' she's a goin' down
The ship' she's a goin' down
Down down down down down
Down down down down down
The quick brain drained the main
And the ships she's a goin' down, boys
The ship she's a goin' down
The ships she's goin' down me mates
The ship' she's a goin' down
The ship' she's a goin' down
Down down down down down
Down down down down down
The quick brain drained the main
And the ships she's a goin' down, boys
The ship she's a goin' down
The ships she's goin' down me mates
The ship' she's a goin' down
The ship' she's a goin' down
Down down down down down
Down down down down down
-ship' she's a goin' down
The ship' she's a goin' down
The ship' she's a goin' down
The quick brain drained the main
And the ships she's a goin' down, boys
The ship she's a goin' down
Down down down down down
Down down down down down
