Ship's A'goin' Down Lyrics - 13th Anniversary Show: Live In The U.s.a. - Residents

Why not live? 

The catbird shrilled! 

And give a guy a chance! 

For soon the moon will sing a tune and I'll be left to dance. 

Uncle Remus: 

Well, strangers have left on longer trains before. 

Yes, shake and shout and cause a spout to be a mockery! 

Exist inside a lemon drop and cause no word to be. 

If after all this oleo a speck of dust exists, 

We'll set aside a common tide 'twixt friend and who he's kissed. 

Enigmatic Foe: 

He thought the end was overdue, but daybroke him instead, 

And consequently what he read was never what he said. 

And don't you never, 

Said the ever Enigmatic Foe,

Enigmatic Foe: 

Lose your cool, or after school, 

They'll find me home in bed. 

What hoe you rake, you fake a taking and a mating moo; 

Confuse to lose and quake to break are simple rules to you. 

Why send a curly head to bed and know her secrets too? 

Enigmatic Foe: 

Glue it down you dripping clown, and be not busy, too; 

If a needy, if a seedy lets him come on through. 

Keys are not thrust open spores, and neither is a broken store! 

There are clothes that haven't been worn, 

Feet that haven't been shorn, 

There's causes that haven't been given a principle. 

Need I say more? 

Uncle Remus: 

The soft spoken edge was a close fit 

With the warped open cracks so many. 

Photos 

The quick brain drained the main 

And the ships a goin' down me mates, 

The ship she's a goin' down. 

The ship' she's a goin' down.
