Blimpe Go 90

Blimps go 90 on with the show

Couldn't you see that?

Now didn't you know?

Aerosol halos, films of the flag

Rifle games for seven-year-olds

What a drag

Yeah now that's a drag



This is not a vacation

There is no place to go

Weep, sad freaks of the nation

Where blimps go 90

And you can't find me



Senator sipping on gentleman jack

Oh boy they told me now don't you look back

But don't you worry

I promise to not

I'll join your canary court

Fit into the slot

Say now what have you got?



Oftentimes I'm reminded

Of the sweet young days

When I poured punch for the franchise

And thus was knighted

Got so excited



Blimps go 90 on with the show

Couldn't you see that?

Now didn't you know?

Hey now didn't you know
