No Shame Theatre Song

Dada version

music by Jonathan Price

lyrics by Jeff Goode


[red ink indicates breaks from the normal melody]


The NIGHT was BRIGHT and sunny
When I strolled into DADADADADADADA
It's been 3 years since folks round here
Had eskimo herbivore lamplighters lamplighters lamplighters.

I spun my spindle sparingly
And shoved it in his goosebox
The wary wary super-scary
Chin up my handsome goosebox.

No Shame Theatre
Aphro-sentilia-psychosis.
No Shame Theatre
George Bush does the work of Satan
yet they worship him like a pagan god.
Who requires a blood sacrifice
To bring a good harvest.

No one could understand why
Atomic niceties slobber on my pillow
You give a dog a bone
It just proliferates the frisky fellow.

But everything I said, or did
Or thought about saying or doing
Or NOT doing, but saying I did
Even though I clearly did not
Even attempt to do so.
OOOooooo(aria)ooooOOOOO

Spoken: Where was I? -- Jon: "No Shame Theatre"

No Shame Theatre
Ceci n'est pas une pipe!
No Shame Theatre
This is not a pipe!
It wasn't that my head was spouting
Numbers in my brain
It wasn't that at all, it wasn't that
It's not, it's not, I'm not insane.

Canary yellow taxis
And a lemon butter sky
This peace is a disease we must resist
Or we will die. (from Peace)

No Shame Theatre
Leave the box Outside!
No Shame Theatre
No Shame don't mean No DADADADADADADADA
