"only when i laugh, does it hurt."
The doctor says, "please, son, remove your skirt."
"i'd be glad to comply, but i'm not wearing one."
The doctor says, "that's strange, nor am i."

A scotsman throws a pole into the air
The alderman all vote in some affair
The mayor, he abstained--and ain't that strange
He's still a bachelor? perhaps he's gay.

A corpse is laid out neatly on a slab
Professor's working madly in his lab
The assistant files her nails and checks her hair
There's just a hint of danger in the air

There's just a hint of danger in the air
No one is alarmed nor seems to care
Everyone is happy, we're all fine
We all fall in love all the time

Yeah, we all fall in love from a plane
With the stewardess, she serves us in our dreams
When we wake, we find that it has rained
When it rains, it lulls us back to sleep

So rest your weary eyes and go to sleep
Or rest your weary head and come to me
Move your lips and sing this lullabye
Move your lips and sing this lullabye
