lyrics
Claptrap----tinfoil hat-----newfangled----discombobulated-----scallywag buffoons---- stutter on a teeter-totter---vacillating cogitators---banter---blather---agitate-----make hideous and ghastly matters, turn the earth askew---well I never---burrowed---gone rabbity----rabbiting---per se---excavated---hole in the wall--perhaps---far from proper-----breach in the bulwark I gouge-----scarcely run the gamut------seldom prone to puffery-------loath to misconstrue---sporadically gone'a maundering----immersed in wayward wanderings----scope the scenes that men of means would rather no one knew------on the lookout-----interloper---fits his britches fine--likes to weave essential details in the curve------ obscure designs-----take a gander at these---rusted rabbit trails--- artifacts of intellect----perish the thought--and puh-leeze don't get caught----taken by the same old jingo--jangle earworm--- done conked out this crust of a culture---hoodwinked and hornswoggled---hobbled by the mumbo--jumbo---flustered, shock sets in----climb inside the skin of---this space age malady---insidious gibberish gets them all twitter-prated--crazed and raving---- machinations-----inscrutable deviations--- taken out of true-- hard to gauge-- so, enraged, I make my details in this cattywampus scrimshaw-----and so by doing, stave the day.----------------------------------------
