Lyrics Chatternooga - Momus

Chatternooga

Time to shop,
A little bird said he forced his will
Upon his gentile passengers
But do not shoot the messengers
We would never side with creeps
Not even in our sleep
Lest you forced us with a gun
And even then we’d try and run
When Dionysus roamed the world
You couldn’t say fuck, but you could say girl
Now it’s the other way around
Girl’s taboo, but fuck’s allowed
The teacher said we cannot play
Until we’re equal in every way
Woo-woo
We’re not going to hold our breath
W’re only equal when w’re dead
The more for you if you don’t use
The personal pronouns we’ve approved
We spill red wax upon your dress
The world’s aboard the Hell express
What turned out when we turned up
Let’s all ask the jitterbug
We all shoot down, we all hang up
Thanks to Emperor Tomato Ketchup
Lovable Bill went down to Hell
In the rowing boat
Jim shacked up with Betty Belle
The Captain fucked Eskimo Nell
Come on baby, let’s get down
Before they lock this town
All aboard, woo-woo
The Chattanooga Choo Choo
Time to show Bill
A little bird said he’d forced his will
Upon his gentile passengers
But do not shoot the messengers
We would never side with creeps
Not even in our sleep
Lest you forced us with a gun
And even then we’d try and run
When Dionysus roamed the world
You couldn’t say fuck, but you could say girl
Now it’s the other way around
Girl’s taboo, but fuck’s allowed
The teacher said we cannot play
Until we’re equal in every way
We’re not going to hold our breath
We’re only equal when we’re dead
All aboard, woo-woo
The Chattanooga Choo Choo
We spill red wax upon your dress
The world’s aboard the Hell express
What turned out when we turned up
Let’s all ask the jitterbug
We all shoot down, we all hang up
Thanks to Emperor Tomato Ketchup
Lovable Bill went down to Hell
In the rowing boat
Jim shacked up with Betty Belle
The Captain fucked Eskimo Nell
Come on baby, let’s get down
Before they lock this town
All aboard, woo-woo
The Chattanooga Choo Choo
