Generate meaning
1
She lifted the monument in her monumental arms
2
She was the Mother Superior with her carry-on luggage charms
3
She was this androgynous powder nosed girl next door
4
She had eaten her dog and she was back for more
5
Back for more, back for more
6
Oh she was back for more, some more, yes please, some more
7
Her gym teacher thought himself a sweat-socked demi-god
8
And her geraniums thought themselves an alien pod
9
And her front porch gave way beneath the classified weight
10
And when an ambulance came they said it's much too late
11
Oh it's much too late, oh it's much too, much too late
12
Oh it's much too late, how late? Very late, too late.
13
Now the people of New Guinea and the people of L. A.
14
Have been penpals for years cause they both hate ballet
15
Only the pandas and bears have made a clean get away
16
But the news bulletin claims it is gonna be okay
17
Now Miss Lucy had a sweat shop where the immigrants work
18
Problem was they all turned to pumpkins at the 12 o'clock stroke
19
Promptly confiscated by police precinct number X
20
That was when alien geraniums entered into a fight
21
No violence, of course, no violence, no violence, of course
22
Hey no violence, of course, of course, why yes, of course
23
I mean, I mean, of course, why yes, of... Of course
24
Here the story gets hazy and the hair gets too long
25
And the T. V. Gets quiet as I hear a real bad song
26
The mothers get whiskey and the girlfriends get tongue
27
And there's a back of a truck selling smoke free lungs
28
And there's a back of a truck selling alien pods
29
And there's a back of a truck selling game show hosts
30
And there's a back of a truck selling the souls of the dead
31
And there's a back of a truck selling crumb free bread
32
This is New York!
33
Now there's a back of a truck selling the back of a car
34
And there's a back of a car selling road way maps
35
And there are road way maps selling a back of a head
36
Hey how much for that back of a head, man?
37
Hey wait a minute, hey wait a minute
38
Wait a minute that's... Wait a minute that's my back of a head
39
Hey you can't sell that, man, that's my back of a head
40
Hey, hey sell it back to me, man, sell it back to me
41
Hey it's, it's my m-m-m-m-m-m-mine
42
She lifted the monument in her monumental arms
43
She was the Mother Superior with her carry-on luggage charms
44
She was this androgynous powder nosed girl next door
45
She had eaten her dog and she was back for more
46
She had eaten her dog, D-O-W-G
47
She had eaten a dog, d-d-dog, d-d-dog, dog, dog, dog
48
She had eaten a... Eaten a... Eaten... Eaten her... Ooooh
49
Mmmmmm... Mmmm... Mmm
50
Ohhhh... Ohhh.... Ohhhh
51
Ooooh.... Ooooooh... Ooooh
52
Some more, yes please, some more
53
Some more, yes please, some more
