Don't Let's Start

Don't, don't, don't let's start

This is the worst part

Could believe for all the world

That you're my precious little girl

But don't, don't, don't let's start

I've got a weak heart

And I don't get around how you get around



When you are alone

You are the cat, you are the phone

You are an animal

The words I'm singing now

Mean nothing more than "meow"

To an animal

Wake up and smell the cat food

In your bank account

Don't try to stop the tail

That wags the hound



D, world destruction

Over an overture

N, do I need

Apostrophe T, need this torture?



Don't, don't, don't let's start

This is the worst part

Could believe for all the world

That you're my precious little girl

But don't, don't, don't let's start

I've got a weak heart

And I don't get around how you get around



No one in the world

Ever gets what they want

And that is beautiful

Everybody dies

Frustrated and sad

And that is beautiful

They want what they're not

And I wish they would stop

Saying Deputy Dawg dog a ding dang depadepa

Deputy Dawg dog a ding dang depadepa



D, world destruction

Over an overture

N, do I need

Apostrophe T, need this torture?



Don't, don't, don't let's start

This is the worst part

Could believe for all the world

That you're my precious little girl

But don't, don't, don't let's start

I've got a weak heart

And I don't get around how you get around



I don't want to live in this world anymore

I don't want to live in this world



Don't, don't, don't let's start

This is the worst part

Could believe for all the world

That you're my precious little girl

But don't, don't, don't let's start

I've got a weak heart

And I don't get around how you get around
