"Commercial Break" lyrics

"Commercial Break"

I can win you a pencil
It's 5 to 5
I can win you a pencil
It's 5 to 5 and time for Crackerjack

I could get you arrested
We could all get tested
A late and heavy bombardment
Of well wishers flooding in to your door

On the brink of the brim
Sweet eh sweet eh in your head
Hallmark's cards
Blocking your letterbox
Flowers in plastic
On a gee plain table
By the bed or instead
We could take a commercial break

No way in, no way out
Can't switch channels or walk out of the film
No way in, no way out
Can't switch channels or walk out of this film

Could win you a pencil
It's 5 to 5
And it's time for Crackerjack
We'll be right back after these messages
Let's take a commercial break
You pitch the flipped channels
You must have switched channels

I could win a cabbage
It's 5 to 5 and it's time for Crackerjack
