Songtext zu 'The Behind Your Back Dance' von That Handsome Devil

Good morning, passengers of Cruise Ship Earth!
Despite the recent turbulence among those aboard,
our destination remains successful!
As we enter a new day, we must keep mentally and physically fit,
ready with the crafty positivity to tackle and beat any problem facing today's modern age!
So here's another happy little dance, inform, prepare, and keep in shape!

(You ready? Come on!)

Now duck, crawl, sign a check!
Do it all behind their backs! (You got it?)
Make your bed, lie in it!
Turn around, try and make! (Yeah!)

Step, crawl, sign a check!
Put your hands behind your back!
And blame the scientists for finding it! (Keep up, let's go!)

Now duck, crawl, sign a check!
Do it all behind their backs!
Make your bed, lie in it!
Turn around, try and make!

Step, crawl, sign a check!
(There you go!)
Put your hands behind your back!
(All right!)
And blame the scientists for finding it!

We're entering a time of freedom, independence
Where the same gentlemen who make the macaroni and cheese make the cigarettes!
All subsidiaries of one big company - funding new shows and publishing
From nuclear submarines to the stuff we eat!

From studying our monkeys
To alcohol and onion rings!
I know what you're wondering
How could I get a job from such a great company?
WELL, YOU DO, so stretch, touch your feet-

Now duck, crawl, sign a check!
Do it all behind their backs!
Make your bed, lie in it!
Turn around, try and make!

Step, crawl, sign a check!
Put your hands behind your back!
And blame the scientists for finding it!

The education system is wonderful
Kids have so many books in their backpacks
They can barely bring their guns to school
What is a mom to do?
Take her pills, get comfortable...

Now duck (Sing along!)
And crawl (Hum if you've got your SARS mask on!)
Sign a check
And blame the scientists for finding it! (Now, everybody!)

Now duck, crawl, sign a check!
Do it all behind their backs!
Make your bed (yeah!), lie in it!
Turn around, try and make! (Do it for us!)

Step, crawl, sign a check!
(Almost there!)
Put your hands behind your back!
And blame the scientists for finding it!

Nothing can stop us, we're strong! Look at the President!
Didn't even get the popular vote - that ain't stopping him, though!
There's no obstacle too small to control!
Anything is possible!

Now duck (I can't wait 'till we have cool uniforms!)
And crawl (Well, we won't all get 'em!)
Sign a check (Psh... yeah, take that, upper class...)
And blame the scientists for finding it!

Heads held high, we will march this path to a bright future
Wearing the coolest sneakers
Driving automobiles with expensive, shiny rims
Our tiny ones idolizing the movie, sports, and pop stars guiding them

Sorry, teachers, doctors,
Computer guys at IBM,
Violinists, firemen
Find me when you're on TV and try again!

All right, let's get this party going! Raise the terror alert!

Now duck, crawl, sign a check!
(Ho ho!)
Do it all behind their backs! (
Perfect!)
Make your bed, lie in it!
Turn around, try and make! (Yes!)

Step, crawl, sign a check!
(Hey, I don't go half-assed on you!)
Put your hands behind your back!
(Ey! Come on, let's get moving!)
And blame the scientists for finding it! (I got my eye on you in the front, there, fatty!)

Now duck, crawl, sign a check!
Do it all behind their backs!
(Get to bopping already!)
Make your bed, lie in it!
(Get sweating sticks of butter!)
Turn around, try and make!

Step, crawl, sign a check!
(Nah, I'm just messing with you, porky!)
Put your hands behind your back!
(Come on, keep it up!)
And blame the scientists for finding it!

Now duck (Unbuckle your seatbelt, walk around!)
And crawl (Pick things up if you knock them down!)
Sign a check (But be careful what you talk about!)

Now duck (We're gonna make it, you can do it!)
And crawl (It's all the eyes you see it with!)
Sign a check (It exists if you believe in it!)
And blame the scientists for finding it!
