Can you beat this?
Adrian Belew, "Lone Rhinoceros"I know the zoos protect my species,
They give me food, and collect my feces.

Always my (least) favorite, from the song "She's No Vegetarian" on Bubblemath's "Such Fine Particles of the Universe" album:
"She's no vegetarian, she's nobody's fool
She packs in pounds of greasy grounds
You can smell it in her stool"
Check please!
I don't know, man, it's hard to beat some of the Shaggs' lyrics.
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
too many to offer,but this one tends to come to mind:
Hoo-hoo-hoo, billy Mack is a detective down in Texas
You know he knows just exactly what the facts is
"The White Zone is for loading and unloading only. If you got to load or unload go to the White Zone!"
Enchant "The Great Divide"
"Can a man know God, or is he just a fantasy
for you and me, one great big lie?
Can his mind be filled with something more than evidence and common sense?
Bridge the great divide
Travel to the other side and be sanctified by what he may find"
Robert Wyatt
"This is the first verse
This is the first verse, verse
This is the first, first...
And this is the chorus
Or perhaps it's the bridge
Or just another part
Of the song
That I'm singing
And this is the second verse
It could be the last verse
And this is the second verse
Second verse, second verse
It could be the last verse
Last verse
And it's probably
The last one
And this is the chorus
Or perhaps it's the bridge
Or just another key change
Never mind
It doesn't hurt
It only means
That I have lost faith in this song
'Cause it won't help me
Reach you..."
This could turn into a fun thread!!!
I submit: "I've been circling like an orbit around that cosmic Christmas tree."
The Flower Kings "Love Is The Only Answer"
Great song but those lyrics...
The Prog Corner
Soft Cell, "Tainted Love"Once I ran to you
Now I'll run from you
This one is hard to beat...
Love, love me do
You know I love you
I'll always be true
So please, love me do
Whoa, love me do
Love, love me do
You know I love you
I'll always be true
So please, love me do
Whoa, love me do
Someone to love
Somebody new
Someone to love
Someone like you
From Kansas, "Anything for You"...
You give me headaches o' you got your gall
If it weren't for me you wouldn't have nuttin' at all
I fell for you 'cause you were nice and tall
From Rupert Holmes, "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)"
It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it's you"

The Rolling Stones' sumptuously funky "Rain Fall Down," where this left-field observation pops up in the middle of a seedy seduction scenario:
The bankers are wankers every Thursday night
They just vomit on that ground.

^The same album has 'Oh No Not You Again' with the legendary 'the moon is yellow, I'm like Jello staring down your tits'. Christ.
Another track, 'Sweet Neo Con', rhymes hypocrite and crock of shit.

“Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak somewhere in this town”.
I could be wrong but I would guess that the jailbreak would be where the jail is located.
Love the song though and Thin Lizzy.

Oh, you can, you can do it very well
You're the best in the world, I can tell

Looking forward to my day in court.
Steve Miller has many clankers. The clankiest, though, in my estimation, is one so clanky it has become famous:
Well some call me the Space Cowboy,
And some call me the Gangster of Love,
And some me Maur-r-r-r-i-i-c-c-e (BWEEPP-BWEEW!!),
Cause I speak of the Pompatus of Love.
This is the only place I have ever heard of the word "pompatus", or the expression, "Pompatus of Love".
The short, topical poems of Ernest Noyes Brookings, as collected by David Greenberger in The Duplex Planet, subsequently set to music and recorded by a variety of artists, also come to mind. However, his output is a little more complex in its back story: Brookings was an odd and unpolished poet not out of laziness, but because of medical issues possibly relating to his age. And he was never stuck for a rhyme. Sometimes it wasn't a very good rhyme, sometimes it didn't make any sense, but he was never stuck for one. You've got to give him that.
Duplex Nursing Home, 12 Harris Avenue,
First floor, about ten rooms and recreation,
It's a mix of occupants old and new,
All with a normal natural secretion......
Muskrat, muskrat
Candlelight
Doin' the town
And doin' it right in the evening
It's pretty pleasing
Muskrat Suzie
Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug at a Muskrat Land
And they shimmy
Sam is so skinny
And they whirl
And they twirl and they tango
Singing and jingling a jangle
Float like the heavens above
Looks like Muskrat Love
Nibbling on bacon
Chewing on cheese
Sam says to Suzie
Honey, would you please be my Mrs
Suzie says yes with her kisses
Now, he's tickling her fancy
Rubbing her toes
Muzzle to muzzle
Now anything goes as they wriggle
Sue starts to giggle
And they whirled
And they twirled and they tango
Singing and jingling a jangle
Floating like the heavens above
Looks like muskrat love
What a freaking debacle. Embarrassing.

Always remembered this one by The Pipkins from when I was a kid:
Gimme, Gimme Dat Ding Ah...
Gimme Dat, Gimme Dat
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme Dat
Gimme Dat Ding, Gimme Dat
Gimme, Gimme Dat, Gimme Dat Ding
Gimme Dat, Gimme, Gimme Dat,
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Dat Ding (Oh Sing it one more time Momma)
Oh, Gimme Dat, Gimme Dat
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme Dat
Gimme Dat Ding, Gimme Dat
Gimme, Gimme Dat, Gimme Dat Ding
Gimme Dat, Gimme, Gimme Dat,
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Dat Ding (Ah, you ain't doin' that late at night)
