Lyrics:

Some people believe in astrology
Others believe in technology
Some people believe in all those "ologies"
But I believe in swordfish
He believes in swordfish

I believe in Happy Days
I believe in Joanie Loves Crotchie
I believe in all that TV crap
And I believe in swordfish
He believes in swordfish

Came up from the ghetto with the help of my stiletto
Every day I hear the people groan:
Why should we buy postage stamps?
We can make our own

We may be doing something wrong
We could be running a little too long
I guess we better end this song
I say I believe in swordfish
He believes in swordfish

Notes:

Happy Days, Joanie Loves Crotchie (sic) - Happy Days was of course the popular TV show. Joanie loves Chachi (sp?) was the spinoff.

You can also see the file for the Chaos Rules version here. The track's a sort of medley that includes the words for Instant Club Hit, and If I Had A Gun is a hidden track.


Comments:

I was amazed to find that this one's actually as insane as the lyrics sound. Great stuff. A front runner in the "What The Hell Were You Smoking When You Wrote That One?" Award.

Mike Brennan: Not one of the better tracks, and the guitar can't stand very well. The bass does back it up, but the lyrics don't make any sense. Still, the bass is worth it. And it makes me laugh because it's so stupid.
