lyrics

You must use varnish and French polish to shine on summer days
Then in the winter, break out in splinters to keep the lice away

Do you hear what I said?
I’m sick of knocking on your wooden head
It’s so empty, where does it go?

It goes in to one ear, and out the other
It never makes a sound
It’s a disaster for ever after
Whenever you’re around

Do you hear what I said?
I’m sick of knocking on your wooden head
It’s so empty, where does it go?

It must be nice in your wooden head

I bet it must be peaceful there
It must be nice in your wooden head
I bet it must be peaceful there

You must use varnish and French polish to shine on summer days
Then in the winter, break out in splinters to keep the lice away

Do you hear what I said?
I’m sick of knocking on your wooden head
It’s so empty, where does it go?
