Shoehorn With Teeth

They Might Be Giants · Then: The Earlier Years [1997]

He wants a shoehorn

The kind with teeth

People should get beat up

for statin' their beliefs



He wants a shoehorn

The kind with teeth

'cause he knows there's no such thing



He asked a girl

If they can both sit in a chair

But he doesn't get nervous

She's not really there



He wants a shoehorn

the kind with teeth

'cause he knows there's no such thing



Tour the world

in a heavy metal band

but they run out of gas

the plane may never land



He wants a shoehorn

The kind with teeth

People should get beat up

for statin' their beliefs



He wants a shoehorn

The kind with teeth

'cause he knows there's no such thing



What's the sense

in ever thinkin' 'bout the tomb

when you're much too busy

returnin' to the womb?



He wants a shoehorn

The kind with teeth

People should get beat up

for statin' their beliefs



He wants a shoehorn

The kind with teeth

'cause he knows there's no such thing
