They Might Be Giants
Don’t Let’s Start

[Chorus]
Don't, don't, don't let's start, this is the worst part
Could believe for all the world that you are my precious little girl
But don't, don't, don't let's start, I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around how you get around

[Verse 1]
When you are alone, you are the cat, you are the phone, you are an animal
The words I'm singing now mean nothing more than "meow" to an animal
Wake up and smell the cat food in your bank account
But don't try to stop the tail that wags the hound

[Pre-Chorus]
D, world destruction
O-ver an overture
N, do I need, apostrophe
T, need this torture?

[Chorus]
Don't, don't, don't let's start, this is the worst part
Could believe for all the world that you are my precious little girl
But don't, don't, don't let's start, I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around how you get around

[Verse 2]
No one in the world ever gets what they want and that is beautiful
Everybody dies frustrated and sad and that is beautiful
They want what they're not and I wish they would stop
Saying "Deputy-dog-dog-a-ding-dang-depadepa
Deputy-dog-dog-a-ding-dang-depadepa"
[Pre-Chorus]
D, world destruction
O-ver an overture
N, do I need, apostrophe
T, need this torture?

[Chorus]
Don't, don't, don't let's start, this is the worst part
Could believe for all the world that you are my precious little girl
But don't, don't, don't let's start, I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around how you get around

[Bridge]
I don't want to live
In this world anymore
I don't want to live
In this world

[Chorus]
Don't, don't, don't let's start, this is the worst part
Could believe for all the world that you are my precious little girl
But don't, don't, don't let's start, I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around how you get around
