I Palindrome I Lyrics

    Someday mother will die and i'll get the money
    Mom leans down and says, "my sentiments exactly,
    You son of a bitch"
    I palindrome i (i palindrome i)
    I palindrome i (i palindrome i)
    And i am a snake head eating (snake head)
    The head on the opposite side (snake head)
    I palindrome i (manonam)
    I palindrome i (manonam)

    See that bulletproof dress hanging from the clothesline
    See the medical chart with the random zig-zag
    Now i'll help it decide
    I palindrome i (i palindrome i)
    I palindrome i (i palindrome i)
    And i am a snake head eating (snake head)
    The head on the opposite side (snake head)
    I palindrome i (manonam)
    I palindrome i (manonam)
    I palindrome i (manonam)
    I palindrome i (manonam)

    "son i am able," she said "though you scare me."
    "watch," said i
    "beloved," i said "watch me scare you though." said she,
    "able am i, son."

    See the spring of the grandfather clock unwinding
    (egad, a base tone denotes a bad age)
    See the hands of my offspring making windmills
    (egad, a base tone denotes a bad age)
    Dad palindrome dad
    I palindrome i (i palindrome i)
    I palindrome i (i palindrome i)
    And i am a snake head eating (snake head)
    The head on the opposite side (snake head)
    I palindrome i (manonam)
    I palindrome i (manonam)
    I palindrome i (manonam)
    I palindrome i (manonam)

    Notes
    Dial-a-song had a substantially different song with the same name. this piece, which had a different melody and was sung by flansburgh instead of linnell, goes as follows:

    I palindrome i

    One door shut, another one closed

    She king of brooklyn she
    Master of all she surveys
    Lives a life unencumbered by me
    She king of brooklyn she

    Man, when i was a young man
    Not like i'm driving a rocking chair now, but
    Man, when i was a young man
    I was free

    I palindrome i
