Metal Detector Lyrics - Factory Showroom - They Might Be Giants

Down at the shore there's a place where there's no one vacationing 

There's just the sound of the call of the wild overcoming the fear of the unknown 

And I've got something to help you understand 

Something waiting there beneath the sand 

My metal detector 

Is with me all of the time 

I'm the inspector over the mine 

Look past the volleyball (look past the ball) 

Look past the squawking gull (look past the gull) 

Ignore the mountain of discarded folderol 

'Cause I've got something to make you understand 

Something hidden there underneath the land 

My metal detector 

Is with me all of the time

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I'm the inspector over the mine 

Metal detector, watch it shine 

Every seashell has a story to tell if you're listening 

But underneath every shell there's a story as well if you've heard enough of the sea 

Then everything on the top will just suddenly stop seeming interesting 

So listen now to the sound of the things that are found underground 

Don't need no volleyball (don't need no volleyball) 

Don't need no squawking gull (don't need no squawking gull) 

Don't need to look at any bathing beauty doll (don't need to look at any doll) 

For I've got something to help you understand 

Something waiting there beneath the sand 

My metal detector 

Is with me all of the time 

I'm the inspector over the mine 

Look past the volleyball (look past the ball) 

Look past the squawking gull (look past the gull) 

Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal

Metal detector, all the time (metal detector all the time)
