Lyrics: I Palindrome I
Album: Apollo 18
Artist: They Might Be Giants
 

Someday mother will die and i’ll get the money
Mom leans down and says, "my sentiments exactly,
You son of a bitch"
I palindrome i (i palindrome i)
I palindrome i (i palindrome i)
And i am a snake head eating (snake head)
The head on the opposite side (snake head)
I palindrome i (manonam)
I palindrome i (manonam)

See that bulletproof dress hanging from the clothesline
See the medical chart with the random zig-zag
Now i’ll help it decide
I palindrome i (i palindrome i)
I palindrome i (i palindrome i)
And i am a snake head eating (snake head)
The head on the opposite side (snake head)
I palindrome i (manonam)
I palindrome i (manonam)
I palindrome i (manonam)
I palindrome i (manonam)

"son i am able," she said "though you scare me."
"watch," said i
"beloved," i said "watch me scare you though." said she,
"able am i, son."

See the spring of the grandfather clock unwinding
(egad, a base tone denotes a bad age)
See the hands of my offspring making windmills
(egad, a base tone denotes a bad age)
Dad palindrome dad
I palindrome i (i palindrome i)
I palindrome i (i palindrome i)
And i am a snake head eating (snake head)
The head on the opposite side (snake head)
I palindrome i (manonam)
I palindrome i (manonam)
I palindrome i (manonam)
I palindrome i (manonam)

Notes
Dial-a-song had a substantially different song with the same name. this piece, which had a different melody and was sung by flansburgh instead of linnell, goes as follows:

Master of all she surveys
Lives a life unencumbered by me
