They Might Be Giants
The Guitar (The Lion Sleeps Tonight)
[Verse 1: John Flansburgh]
Hey, who's that playing
Hey, the guitar
Is it Jim? I don't know
Is it Jim? I don't know
[Chorus: Laura Cantrell]
In the spaceship, the silver spaceship
The lion takes control
In the spaceship, the silver spaceship
The lion takes control
[Verse 2: John Flansburgh]
Hey, who's that playing
Hey, the guitar
[Chorus: Laura Cantrell]
Hush my darling, be still my darling
The lion's on the phone
Hush my darling, be still my darling
The lion's on the phone
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus: Laura Cantrell, (John Flansburgh)]
Hush my darling, be still my darling
(Hey!)
Hush my darling, be still my darling
(Hey!)
[Verse 3: John Flansburgh]
Turn it up, the guitar
I can't hear the guitar
[Chorus: Laura Cantrell]
In the spaceship, the silver spaceship
The lion waves goodbye
In the spaceship, the silver spaceship
The lion waves goodbye
[Outro: John Flansburgh]
Hey, who's that playing
Hey, the guitar
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
