They Might Be Giants
Don’t Let’s Start
[Chorus]
Don't, don't, don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you are my precious little girl
But don't, don't, don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around
How you get around

[Verse 1]
When you are alone
You are the cat, you are the phone
You are an animal
The words I'm singing now
Mean nothing more than "meow" to an animal
Wake up and smell the cat food
In your bank account
But don't try to stop the tail
That wags the hound

[Pre-Chorus]
D, world destruction
O-ver an overture
N, do I need
Apostrophe
T, need this torture?
[Chorus]
Don't, don't, don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you are my precious little girl
But don't, don't, don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around
How you get around

[Verse 2]
No one in the world ever gets what they want
And that is beautiful
Everybody dies frustrated and sad
And that is beautiful
They want what they're not
And I wish they would stop saying
"Deputy-dog-dog-a-ding-dang-depadepa
Deputy-dog-dog-a-ding-dang-depadepa"

[Pre-Chorus]
D, world destruction
O-ver an overture
N, do I need
Apostrophe
T, need this torture?
[Chorus]
Don't, don't, don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you are my precious little girl
But don't, don't, don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around
How you get around

[Bridge]
I don't want to live
In this world anymore
I don't want to live
In this world

[Chorus]
Don't, don't, don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you are my precious little girl
But don't, don't, don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around
How you get around
