I Palindrome I


Someday mother will die and I'll get the money
Mom leans down and says, ";My sentiments exactly,
You son of a bitch";
I palindrome I (I palindrome I)
I palindrome I (I palindrome I)
And I am a snake head eating (snake head)
The head on the opposite side (snake head)
I palindrome I (manonam)
I palindrome I (manonam)

See that bulletproof dress hanging from the clothesline
See the medical chart with the random zig-zag
Now I'll help it decide
I palindrome I (I palindrome I)
I palindrome I (I palindrome I)
And I am a snake head eating (snake head)
The head on the opposite side (snake head)
I palindrome I (manonam)
I palindrome I (manonam)
I palindrome I (manonam)
I palindrome I (manonam)

";Son I am able,"; she said ";though you scare me.";
";Watch,"; said I
";Beloved,"; I said ";watch me scare you though."; said she,
";Able am I, Son.";

See the spring of the grandfather clock unwinding
(Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age)
See the hands of my offspring making windmills
(Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age)

And I am a snake head eating (snake head)

Notes
Dial-a-Song had a substantially different song with the same name. This piece, which had a different melody and was sung by Flansburgh instead of Linnell, goes as follows:

Not like I'm driving a rocking chair now, but
Man, when I was a young man
I was free
