SHAKEY GRAVES
"Aibohphobia"

I met her at the chocolate shop
She was shopping for chocolate
Spoke very little but said a lot
Oh, she had the nicest car in the parking lot
Her dad's a ten, mom's a cop
I could say more but I'd rather not
Sounds coming from the woods

I ran into her at the bakery
Twice a day, too much for me
I went inside to find a scone
When in walked Madam Palindrome
Mum's the word, dad's a nun
She plays games, she's no fun
Race car, kayak, nurses run
I have aibohphobia

Last I heard, she made the news
Entertaining all the troops
Aboard the SS Guru Rug
She sounded nice and she was all dressed up
But a Toyota's a Toyota
She ain't much, but that's enough
Her eyes are pearls and her skin is tough

[Bridge:]
Is there anybody home
Is there Madam Palindrome
Race car, kayak, nurses run
I have aibohphobia
I have aibohphobia
I have aibohphobia

[Break:]
Sounds coming from the woods
Oh, sound's coming from the woods
Ooh

[Coda 4x:]
Are we not drawn onward, we few
Drawn onward to new era
Madam Palindrome

Madam Palindrome
Madam Palindrome
Madam Palindrome
