Trou Macacq Lyrics by Squirrel Nut Zippers

Trou Macacq Lyrics

    this is the story of the trou macacq, the pine box derby, the monkey track
    This is the story of the trou macacq, the pine box derby, the monkey track
    Not what i heard or saw on tv,
    But what i witnessed entirely
    Each bend in the road was infact another curve on the monkey track
    Once upon a time we thought we were free
    And had control over destiny
    We saw ourselves a competent band
    Able to reason, prosper and plan
    But we had a chamber up in the moon
    Circumstance made us change our tune
    When the veil was torn from our face
    We became the monkeys riding the race
    Monkey!
    You think you got the stuff it takes to break away!
    Boy youll be on the track every day
    Talent, vigor,drive
    Youll eat peanut butter the rest of your life
    And these last things you can arrange
    Find other people equally strange
    Stuff yourselves in the van and ride the pine box derby to the finish line
    I said: chris p. rides on a serious plan
    Hes going to finish as fast as he can
    The escalator takes it personally
    And does not drive professionally
    Charming enchantress and bones can run
    Even if the winshield wipers are on
    I the broadcaster avoid police
    But the bat was led into custody
