Where was I? I forgot
The point that I was making
I said if I was smart that I would

Save up for a piece of string
And a rock to wind the string around


Everybody wants a rock
To wind a piece of string around
Everybody wants a rock

To wind a piece of string around

Throw the crib door wide

Let the people crawl inside
Someone in this town
Is trying to burn the playhouse down

They want to stop the ones who want
A rock to wind a string around
But everybody wants a rock

To wind a piece of string around

Throw the crib door wide

Let the people crawl inside
Someone in this town
Is trying to burn the playhouse down

They want to stop the ones who want
A rock to wind a string around
But everybody wants a rock

To wind a piece of string around

If I were a carpenter I'd

Hammer on my piglet, I'd
Collect the seven dollars and I'd
Buy a big prosthetic forehead

And wear it on my real head

Everybody wants prosthetic

Foreheads on their real heads
Everybody wants prosthetic
Foreheads on their real heads


Throw the crib door wide
Let the people crawl inside

Someone in this town
Is trying to burn the playhouse down
They want to stop the ones who want

Prosthetic foreheads on their heads
But everybody wants prosthetic
Foreheads on their real heads


Throw the crib door wide
Let the people crawl inside

Someone in this town
Is trying to burn the foreheads down
They want to stop the ones who want

A rock to wind a string around
But everybody wants a rock
To wind a piece of string around
