lyrics

Like an Eel

Jabber, jabber
It’s not easy to get under my skin
But when you blabber
I bang my head against the wall again and again

I can’t find a quiet corner in this house
You’re like an eel, you don’t ever shut your mouth
I can’t sleep, no it’s way too loud
You’re like an eel, you don’t ever shut your mouth
I can’t find a quiet corner in this house
You’re like an eel, you don’t ever shut your mouth
I can’t get to sleep, oh no it’s too loud
You’re like an eel, you don’t ever shut your mouth

Close your flapper
You never stop do you? You crazy person!
Jabber, jabber, jabber, jabber
It’s no use… so I just curl up and take it on the chin

I can’t find a quiet corner in this house
You’re like an eel, you don’t ever shut your mouth
I can’t sleep, no it’s way too loud
You’re like an eel, you don’t ever shut your mouth
I can’t find a quiet corner in this house
You’re like an eel, you don’t ever shut your mouth
I can’t get to sleep, oh no it’s too loud
You’re like an eel, you don’t ever shut your mouth

HEY YOU - DON’T START
You just keep on talking from the dawn until the dark
HEY YOU - DON’T START
It’s funny ‘cause your mouth is almost bigger than a shark’s
HEY YOU - DON’T START
You just keep on talking from the dawn until the dark
HEY YOU - DON’T START
It’s funny ‘cause your mouth is almost bigger than a shark’s

I can’t find a quiet corner in this house
You’re like an eel, you don’t ever shut your mouth
I can’t sleep, no it’s way too loud
You’re like an eel, you don’t ever shut your mouth
I can’t find a quiet corner in this house
You’re like an eel, you don’t ever shut your mouth
I can’t get to sleep, oh no it’s too loud
You’re like an eel, you don’t ever shut your mouth
