Glass of milk...
Edited on Mon Mar-07-05 05:52 PM by Richardo
....Standing in between extinction in the cold
and explosive radiating growth

So the warm blood flows
Through the large four-chambered heart
Maintaining the very high metabolism rate they have

Mammal, mammal
Their names are called
They raise a paw
The bat, the cat
Dolphin and dog
Koala bear and hog

One of us might lose his hair
But you're reminded that it once was there
From the embryonic whale to the monkey with no tail
So the warm blood flows
with the red blood cells lacking nuclei
Through the large four-chambered heart
Maintaining the very high metabolism rate they have

Mammal, mammal
Their names are called
They raise a paw
The bat, the cat
Dolphin and dog
Koala bear and hog

Placental the sister of her brother Marsupial
Their cousin called Monotreme
Dead uncle Allotheria

Mammal, mammal
Their names are called
They raise a paw
The bat, the cat
Dolphin and dog
Koala bear and hog
The fox, the ox
Giraffe and shrew
Echidna, caribou


:hippie:

1. I started singing the next line BEFORE I clicked.
How'd I do that? "Glass of milk" could be a lot of things other than the beginning of a They Might Be Giants song.


I saw the worst bands of my generation
applied by magic marker to dry-wall.

2. Pretty hard not to, if you know the song.
"Glass of milk" could have been the beginning of a lot of things ... but it's unlikely we've heard many of them more often than the song.

We've been primed.
