(Ron & Russell Mael)
|
Man there's so much stuff up here
|
A quarter pound of lean ideas
|
Half a pound of dirty jokes
|
One pound of non-essential quotes
|
|
It's where the dreamin' starts (Upstairs)
|
It's where the jokin' starts (Upstairs)
|
You got some small ideas (Upstairs)
|
You got some big ideas (Upstairs)
|
It's where you calculate
|
It's where you speculate
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
Upstairs, Upstairs, why don't you get out of there
|
Upstairs, Upstairs, why don't you get out of there
|
Upstairs, Upstairs, why don't you get out of my head
|
|
You are low on foreign words
|
Better meet a foreign girl
|
Take a foreign girl upstairs
|
And learn a lot of foreign words
|
|
A little enchante (Upstairs)
|
A little hey, ole (Upstairs)
|
Ich heisse Billy Boy (Upstairs)
|
A little soya sauce (Upstairs)
|
You got some big ideas
|
You got some big ideas
|
|
Chorus
|
|
When you want the art to start
|
You cue the left side and the art will
|
Start to flow and flow and flow
|
And leave a stain on all your carpets
|
|
Chorus
|
|
When you want the intellect
|
You cue the right side and you can
|
Collect the Nobel Prize in person
|
Or have someone mail it to you
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Crammed with common phobias
|
Still, it's a utopia
|
This is where you kill a guy
|
And you know he's still alive
|
|
Chorus
