Snowball In Hell Lyrics & Chords By They Might Be Giants

Avalanche or roadblock
i was a snowball in hell
avalanche or roadblock
a jailer trapped in his cell
Money's all broke, and food's going hungry
if it wasn't for disappointment
i wouldn't have any appointments
Side effect or drug trip
don't tease me with all of your might
side effect or drug trip
my panacea's in a xerox shop
Have a nice day, you want it when?
have a nice day, have a nice day
I didn't expect to find a salesman drinking coffee this late in the morning. how long you been here, joe?
oh, i don't know, i guess thirty, forty-five minutes maybe. why do you ask?
you must be making a lot of sales, piling up good income.
oh... uh... i'm doing all right. i could do better, but... ohahaha i get it paul. back on that old "time is money" kick, right?
not back on it, joe, still on it.
Avalanche or roadblock
i was a snowball in hell
avalanche or roadblock
a jailer trapped in his cell
money i owe, money-iy-ay
money i owe, money-iy-ay
Avalanche or roadblock
i was a snowball in hell
notes
the frank o'toole demo version adds more of the spoken dialogue ad nauseum as follows:
Okay, okay
okay, okay, okay let's
okay, okay
okay, okay, okay let's
okay, okay
okay, okay, okay let's
Avalanche or roadblock
i was a snowball in hell
avalanche or roadblock
a jailer trapped in his cell
Money's all broke, and food's going hungry
if it wasn't for disappointment
i wouldn't have any appointments
Did i affect your drug trip
don't tease me with all of your might
did i affect your drug trip
you threw my wallet in the wishing well
Have a nice day, you want it when?
have a nice day, have a nice day
I didn't expect to find a salesman drinking coffee this late in the morning. how long you been here, joe?
oh, i don't know, i guess thirty, forty-five minutes maybe. why do you ask?
you must be making a lot of sales, piling up good income.
oh... uh... i'm doing all right. i could do better, but... ohahaha i get it paul. back on that old "time is money" kick, right?
not back on it, joe, still on it.
Avalanche or roadblock
i was a snowball in hell
avalanche or roadblock
a jailer trapped in his cell
Money's all broke, and food's going hungry
if it wasn't for disappointment
i wouldn't have any appointments
Avalanche or roadblock
yes, i was a snowball in hell
i was a snowball in hell
Not back on it, joe, still on it.
not back on it, joe, still on it.
not back on it, joe, still on it.
