Lyrics

A piece of mail, a letter head
A piece of hair on a human head
They're sayin' to me, "I should've killed it"
"I should've killed it, I shoulda killed it"
"I should've killed it before"
You're right, you're right
"Kill the body and the head will die"
They're laughin' at me, "I shoulda learnt it"
"I shoulda learnt it, I shoulda learnt it"
"I shoulda learned it, I shoulda learned it"
"I shoulda learned it before"
"I shoulda learned it before"
What a day, what a day
If you can look it in the face and hold your vomit
What a day, what a day
If you can look it in the face and hold your vomit
A wet sneeze and a "no left turn"
A row of teeth and an encouraging word
Beneath a mile of skin, "I shoulda noticed it"
"I shoulda noticed it, I noticed it before"
"I noticed it before"
"Noticed it before"
"Noticed it before"
What a day, what a day
If you can look it in the face and hold your vomit
What a day, what a day
If you can look it in the face and hold your vomit
What a day, what a day, what a day, what a day, what a day, what a
Day, what a day, what a day, what a day, what a day, what a day, what a
Don't touch it!
What a day! What a day! What a day! Don't you touch it!
What a day! What a day! What a day! Don't you touch it!
What a day! What a day! What a day! Don't you touch it!
What a day! What a day! What a day! Don't you touch!
