Artist/Band: They Might Be Giants
Lyrics for Song: I Palindrome I
Lyrics for Album: A User's Guide to They Might Be Giants [2005]



Someday Mother will die and I'll get the money

Mom leans down and says, "My sentiments exactly,

You son of a bitch"

I palindrome I (I palindrome I)

I palindrome I (I palindrome I)

And I am a snake head eating (snake head)

The head on the opposite side (snake head)

I palindrome I (manonam)

I palindrome I (manonam)



See that bulletproof dress hanging from the clothesline

See the medical chart with the random zig-zag

Now I'll help it decide

I palindrome I (I palindrome I)

I palindrome I (I palindrome I)

And I am a snake head eating (snake head)

The head on the opposite side (snake head)

I palindrome I (manonam)

I palindrome I (manonam)

I palindrome I (manonam)

I palindrome I (manonam)



"Son I am able," she said "though you scare me."

"Watch," said I

"Beloved," I said "watch me scare you though." said she,

"Able am I, Son."



See the spring of the grandfather clock unwinding

(Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age)

See the hands of my offspring making windmills

(Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age)

Dad palindrome Dad

I palindrome I (I palindrome I)

I palindrome I (I palindrome I)

And I am a snake head eating (snake head)

The head on the opposite side (snake head)

I palindrome I (manonam)

I palindrome I (manonam)

I palindrome I (manonam)

I palindrome I (manonam)
