Triops Has Three Eyes

They Might Be Giants · Here Come The 123s [2008]

Rabbits have two eyes

And whales have two eyes

And eagles have two eyes

But triops has three eyes

Triops has three eyes



Two eyes on a face

Are usually enough

But triops has got

One that looks up

And one that looks around

And one to keep an eye

On the other pair of guys

Triops has three eyes



Needles have an eye

Tornadoes have an eye

Potatoes have a lot of eyes

But triops has three eyes

Triops has three eyes



Everything with eyes

Has some amount of eyes

And triops has got

One that looks up

And one that looks around

And one to keep an eye

On the other pair of guys

Triops has three eyes



There are two sides to every story

But triangles have three

And the tricycle has one more cycle than the washing machine



Chickens have two legs

And firemen have two legs

And monkeys have two legs

But tripods have three legs

Tripods have three legs



They've got more than you

'Cuz they need more than two

A tripod has got

One that points back

And one that sticks out

And one to be a friend

To the other pair of pegs

Tripods have three legs



Look, there's an eye

Hey, there's another eye

And there's a third eye

'Cuz triops has three eyes

Triops has three eyes



Two eyes on a face

Are usually enough

But triops has got

One that looks up

And one that looks around

And one to keep an eye

On the other pair of guys

Triops has got

One that points back

And one that sticks out

And one to be a friend

To the other pair of guys



Triops has three eyes

Triops has three eyes

Triops has three eyes
