Lyrics

Pow!

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've always been the guy with a finger in his nose

When the passport picture gets taken

When the big guys took me out stealin' chickens

It was me caught holdin' the bacon

When they're droppin' a piano from the 47th floor

I'm the guy underneath it lookin' up

And when the tidal wave strikes 100 miles at sea

I'm always at the rail throwin' up

Whee, ker-pow!

Somehow i would've met you anyhow

You fix it up and then, oh holy cow

You folks are gonna see me now

I was standing in an artsy fartsy uptown restaurant

A few frozen dinners ago

When i stumbled on a waiter full of crêpe suzettes

And i ran out the door flambeau

Then i ran down to chinatown got myself some soy sauce

And grabbed some moo goo gai pan to go

When i got wiped out by a stray beansprout

That was landin' on the floor

Whee, ker-pow!

Somehow i would've met you anyhow

You fix it up and then, oh holy cow

You folks are gonna see me now

Well, i finally got so fed up i was off to blow my head off

With the gun in the cash box at the store

Then i thought i'd grab a fistful just in case i weren't successful

But instead i got my tie caught in the drawer

When you're riding down the road at 100 miles an hour

And a guy's ahead hitchin' someplace

Honey, don't you be surprised, i'll be wipin' out my eyes

As you pass me, leavin' dust in my face

Whee, ker-pow!

Somehow i would've met you anyhow

You fix it up and then, oh holy cow

You folks are gonna see me now
