Onomatopoeia Lyrics - Sweet Revenge - John Prine

Forty-five minutes 

Fifty-five cents 

Sixty-five agents sitting on a fence 

Singing, hey brother 

Look what we got for you 

We're gonna rope off an area 

And put on a show 

From the Canadian border 

Down to Mexico 

It might be the most 

Potentially gross 

Thing that we could possibly do 

Yeah, little buddy gonna get your chance 

Make them pubescents all wet their pants 

We'll record it live 

And that's no jive. 

Hold it! Stop it! No! No! No! No! 

Bang! went the pistol. 

Crash! went the window. 

Ouch! went the son of a gun. 

Onomatopoeia 

I don't wanna see ya 

Speaking in a foreign tongue.

Knock! Knock! Hello! 

Can I come in? 

Gee, that was a wonderful show! 

Oh, you haven't gone on yet? 

Well, how was I supposed to know? 

Hey! We got a great date 

It's really downtown 

We're gonna get the Grand Canyon 

To do the sound 

It's a boxing ring 

But it might be the thing 

To really put you in the dough 

Listen little brother, don't ya get us wrong 

Why we even know one of the words to your song 

Just say I do 

And we'll lay it on you 

You! You! And me! Me! Me! 

Bang! went the pistol 

Crash! Went the window 

Ouch! Went the son of a gun 

Onomatopoeia 

I don't want to see ya 

Speaking in a foreign tongue.
