I'll Eat You for Dinner

from Christmas In March by The Sursiks

/

lyrics

And I mention the words “play today” as the rhythm of this.
If you say “Play today, play today, play today, play today.”

Don’t trip-tramp over my bridge I say,
‘cause I’ll eat you for dinner if I had my way!
Don’t trip-tramp over my bridge I say,
‘cause I’ll eat you for dinner if I had my way!
Don’t trip-tramp over my bridge I say,
‘cause I’ll eat you for dinner if I had my way!
Don’t trip-tramp over my bridge I say,
‘cause I’ll eat you for dinner if I had my way!

There’s a lot of talk.
(I love phones!)
There’s a lot of talk about victim’s rights.
(aaghh!) (I love phones! I see a phone, I wanna pick it up and talk!)
If you’re the victim of an accident, (aaghh!) you don’t need talk.
(You see a phone? You wanna talk?)
If you’re the victim of an accident, you don’t need talk, you need business!

Here we go, I’m gonna count one bar for nothing: 1,2,3,4.
Play today, play today, play today, there’s the jazz rhythm, da da da, da da da, uhh.

I’ll eat you for dinner if I had my way!
I’ll eat you for dinner if I had my way!
I’ll eat you for dinner if I had my way!
I’ll eat you for dinner if I had my way!
Play today, play today, play today, play today,
play today, there’s the jazz rhythm, da da da, da da da.
Play today, play today, play today, play today,
play today, there’s the jazz rhythm, da da da, da da da.
Ohhh!

If you’re the victim of an accident, you don’t need rights,
You need business!
Business goes after your rights
piece by piece by piece
Until justice has been served,
Until dinner has been served,
Until business has been served,
Until the insurance company has been served.

A little bit closer now, what did you say?
‘Cause I’ll eat you for dinner if I had my way!
A little bit closer now, what did you say?
Just as the moon rose over the bay….
A little bit closer now, what did you say?
Union blue and confederate gray.
A little bit closer now, what did you say?
On the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay!
A little bit closer now, what did you say?
You see a phone? You wanna talk? It’s ok!
A little bit closer now, what did you say?
Play today, play today, play today, play today.

Don’t trip-tramp over my bridge I say, ‘cause I’ll eat you for dinner if I had my way! (play today, play today)
Don’t trip-tramp over my bridge I say, ‘cause I’ll eat you for dinner if I had my way! (play today, play today)

Look, if you’re worried because you still don’t have insurance,
Tell the insurance company you need to take back what’s been taken away from you!
You mean business!

Don’t trip-tramp over my bridge I say, ‘cause I’ll eat you for dinner if I had my way!
(aaghh!)
(aaghh!)
(aaghh!)
(aaghh!)

Relax Mr. Lewis, you have a minor head injury. I’m sure that CAT scan will show that there is no fragments…
No! No! No hospital!
Look, if you’re worried because you still don’t have insurance…

Heh! One of the (hahaha) one of the most spectacular kinds of automobile accidents (hahaha)
is the one where the car not only gets banged up (ah heh!) but bursts into flames!
What makes it really horrible, is the idea that the driver and his passengers, stunned by the accident, may be trapped inside the burning car!

Don’t trip-tramp over my bridge I say, ‘cause I’ll eat you for dinner if I had my way! (play today, play today)
Don’t trip-tramp over my bridge I say, ‘cause I’ll eat you for dinner if I had my way! (play today, play today)

The National Safety Counsel says that, fortunately for most of us, this type of spectacular smashup is very rare!
Only one dri..hehe….aaaahh!
The thing that stops people inside a car…hahahahaha! well, some days just….hahehaheha! hahahaha! ahhh.
