Talking Ernest Lyrics - Kimya Dawson

shoulda heard what my talking ernest said to your talking pee-wee 

he said "last night that furby it was talkin to me 

talking in the language of love" 

and then my talking ernest said to your talking pee-wee 

he said "that mannequin head shoulda gone with 

the purple eye shadow instead" 

and then my talking ernest said to your talking pee-wee 

he said "i don't mind them pokemon just as long 

as they leave me alone" 

and then my talking ernest said to your talking pee-wee 

he said "them garbage pail kids shoulda got a lot more credit 

for the wacky things they did" 

and then my talking ernest said to your talking pee-wee 

he said "muhammad ali barbie really floats like a butterfly stings like a bee, 

floats like a butterfly stings like a bee, yeah yeah" 

but talking ernest he was just making small talk 

there was something bigger on his mind 

"gee, i'm glad it's raining, the gentle rhythm heals the hurt inside 

i'm really glad it's raining, the wounded warrior needs a place to hide 

everyone needs someone they can count on til the end 

what they needed was a hero all i wanted was a friend 

all i wanted was a friend" 

and then my talking ernest said to your talking pee-wee 

"hey man, it's over" he said "have you heard the news? 

jim varney's dead, he's dead" 

and then your talking pee-wee said to talking ernest 

"but my friend he's not gone i pull the string on your back 

and he lives on and on, on and on" 

but then talking pee-wee turned to muhammad ali barbie 

and said "i'm glad i'm not talking ernest 'cause that is a hell of a legacy 

that is a hell of a legacy, yeah yeah"
