Lyrics
The Phallus
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.
one, two, three, four…
There was a very proud king
(there was a very proud king)
There were very many, very proud kings
(so very many proud kings)
This one wore taffeta
(yes he did)
He was a jealous man
(yes he was)
His every word was thought to be
Divine command
Whoa, right now somebody's pouring some concrete
Right now somebody's hauling some bricks
across the country
(across the country)
Why? Why? I'll tell you why
He wants to build the worlds tallest spire
atop of the world's biggest palace
To show the rest of the boys how large it is
to be as in charge as it is
Everyone knows society grows
in the shadow, of the phallus
…………………..all right!
