Lyrics Pip Digs Pep - Negativland

Pip Digs Pep

Say, Gang, have you ever stopped to think of this?
You might be a dunk.
Do you know what a dunk is?
Well, if you don’t, I’ll tell ya
Pip digs Pep
And Pep digs Pip
Pip digs «Horrible Cup»
And Pep takes a trip
Ed takes the bus
The bus is red
Pep drinks «Horrible Cup»
It goes to his head
A dunk is a fella or girl who takes chances
Yes, Sir, dunks are just plain fools
Every year, thousands of dunks are hurt
Just because they’re dunks!
They run out to the street without looking both ways
They do all sorts of things they shouldn’t do
And they pay for it, too
And Y’know, it’s a shame, too
'cause, dunks are just plain fellas and girls
The only difference is: They get hurt
Act like a dunk, and you won’t be able to do all things
That are so much fun to do
Don’t you be a dunk!
Don’t take chances!
Pam finds a pot
Pip crosses the street
Pip sits on the pot
The pot tips on Pete
The bike is red, and
The light is green
Pip digs the bike
But Ed is mean
Remember, look both ways before you cross the street
Never ever step off the curve, until you know the coast is clear!
It only takes a second, but it may mean the difference
Between a summer filled with fun, and months in bed
Don’t be a dunk!
Don’t take chances!
Remember
All the time
Everywhere
Be cautious
Take care
Your brain is loud
And your dog is big
The words change fast for you to dig
You’re in the street and you start to run
Can’t go too fast, when you’re running over someone
Well there’s only one kind of person who takes chances around automobiles
And that person is a dunk
Sooner or later, dunks get hurt
They do all kinds of foolish things
As a matter of fact
Dunks just aren’t very smart
Ed hugs Pam
Pam hugs Ed
The car goes fast
The light is red
The rain comes down, and the streets are slick
And you’re feeling kind of a sick
With a headache in my throat, and a sour in my head
In the street with lots of people, where I’m better off dead
And don’t you forget!
Some grownups are dunks too
The thing to remember is, don’t start being a dunk —
And you won’t end up being one
Remember that, gang, don’t be an old dunk!
Don’t take chances!
Stop on the curve, and make sure the coast is clear
This is Mike Wallace reminding you
All the time
Everywhere
Be cautious
Take care
Your brain is loud
And your dog is big
The words change fast for you to dig
You’re in the street and you start to run
Can’t go too fast, when you’re running over someone
Play safe, and you’ll be able to keep right-on, ???
