Story Behind the Song
jnet draws these cool maps. she gave me one cuz i asked for stuff to write songs from. i wrote and recorded this stuff in an evening to give to her for her birthday.
the dapper penguins on the cliff is based on a jam from the pad that jnet lead.
Lyrics
i. the dapper penguins on the cliff (0'00")
hello good sir how are you today?
could i bother you for the time?
you remind me of a friend of mine, hello good sir?
he sat down in front of me
and stared and stared and stared at me
he stared and he stared and he stared at me
and he said:
quack,quack,quack,quack,quack,
quack,quack,quack,quack,quack,
quack,quack,quack,quack
which means:
you silly fool dont you know
that penguins cannot speak
this is where the dapper penguins live
we needed a little heat
oh silly me i cried and said
i only saw the suit and
not the man inside it
so i said goodbye
iii. my home in the marmalade mtns (2'45")
my home in the marmalade mtns
standing above the lonely foot path
i can go on the mtn top
and wacth the clouds go by in the night sky
c.
well i dont know why i can be
without all the tea in china
but without i feel incomplete and empty
so ill just stand right here
and watch the world go by from my front door
which accounts for a lonely traveller or 2
making their way, under the moon
c.
my home in the marmalade mtns
is the only things ill ever need
and i know ill never be without it
cuz ill never leave, ill never leave
yeah ill never leave, again.
v. great ant jackie (6'35")
lets all go to great ant jackies
she'll take us on adventures
stealing food from picnics
she was the product of
a radioactive xray super secret test
by the us government
my mothers mother sister from her fathers previous marriage.
my mothers mother sister from her fathers previous marriage.
my great ant jackie: shes my favorite ant
lets all go to great ant jackie
she'll take us on adventures
stealing food from picnics
we go down to windy plains
where there are 1000 happy ppl having picnics
me im a tiny ant, my great ants a terrible monster
watch the ppl panic as jackie storms
killing ppl left and right
tearing some in half with her gigatic pincers
oh great ant jcakie i want to be like you
instead of a tiny ant that ppl step on daily
cuz they are really really really to big to notice what
a single ant is doing anyway.
viii. we come from cavern sound (9'20")
we come from cavern sound to the chipper trees
we make lotsa money chop da chipper tree
we cross the beaver dam to the picnic plains
we fight the giant ants for the chipper trees.
