"Mental Floss" lyrics
"Mental Floss"
I'd like to be a jellyfish, 'cause jellyfish don't pay rent
They don't walk and they don't talk with some Euro-trash accent
They're just simple protoplasm, clear as cellophane
They ride the winds of fortune, life without a brain
In one ear and out the other
Don't you get crisscrossed
I recommend you try a little mental floss
It's the small, small problems that keep me so upset
And send me seeking shelter beneath my mosquito net
I stay there for hours, protected from the nights
All those insects and vipers and other things that bite
In one ear and out the other
Don't you get crisscrossed
I recommend you try a little mental floss
I'd like to be a jellyfish, 'cause jellyfish don't pay rent
They don't walk and they don't talk with some Euro-trash accent
They're just simple protoplasm, clear as cellophane
They ride the winds of fortune, life without a brain
In one ear and out the other
Don't you get crisscrossed
I recommend you try a little mental floss
It's in one ear and out the other
Don't you get crisscrossed
I recommend you try a little mental floss
Yeah, don't forget to floss every day
Mental!

Do you know what time it is?
Well, the hour of your bedtime's
Long been past

Oh, fading...
Sister Hazel - "Starfish" I saw a starfish on the ground
He was half buried in the sand
Just so out of place and ahh

Keb' Mo' - "House In California" We were sick and tired of Buffalo
Tired of freezin' and shovelin' snow

They Might Be Giants - "Dinner Bell" I've been leaving on my things
So in the morning when the morning bird sings
There's still dinner on my dinner jacket
