Well I might seem ambiguous

But I don't want to cause a fuss

I just want my bread buttered on both sides

Someone spread this virus

All around the world till it got to us

And now we just sit back and let things slide

So I'm not getting up till I hear the sound

Of the whip-poor-will when the sun goes down

And the garbage man has been around and gone

And the turkey in the oven is good and dumb

The river is filled with linoleum

And the meek inherit the earth from their friends the scum

Ambig ambig ambiguous

Oo oo oo ambiguous

You might as well remain ambiguous

I asked a woman the other day

How you gonna vote on election say

She said she's gonna go for the man with the nicest tie

Well that sounds like she's thinking straight

He sounds like the candidate

That idea is surely gonna fly

So I went down to the hardware store

For a bag of nails and a kitchen door

And some chicken wire to wrap around my bed

I might seem ambiguous

But I don't think it's such a curse

It's better than sticking your neck out

And losing your head

Ambig ambig ambiguous

Oo oo oo ambiguous

You might as well remain ambiguous

Now there's two sides to every coin

A head and a tail and a sidelong join

I'll take either one when they call the toss

I don't care who'll win or lose

Makes no difference who you choose

You might as well remain ambiguous

So I'm not getting up till I hear the sound

Of the whip-poor-will when the sun goes down

And the garbage man has been around and gone

And the turkey in the oven is good and dumb

The river is filled with linoleum

And the meek inherit the earth from their friends the scum

Ambig ambig ambiguous

Oo oo oo ambiguous

You might as well remain ambiguous
