They Might Be Giants - Put It to the Test - Official video
Lyrics:
If there's a question bothering your brain
That you think you know how to explain
You need a test
Yeah, think up a test
If it's possible to prove it wrong
You're going to want to know before too long
You'll need a test
If somebody says they figured it out
And they're leaving any room for doubt
Come up with a test
Yeah, you need a test
Are you sure that that thing is true?
Or did someone just tell it to you?
Come up with a test
Test it out
Find a way to show what would happen
If you were incorrect
(Test it out)
A fact is just a fantasy
Unless it can be checked
Make a test
Test it out
If you want to know if it's the truth
Then, my friend, you are going to need proof
Come up with a test
Yeah, you need a test
Don't believe it 'cause they say it's so
If it's not true, you have a right to know
Put it to the test (put it to the test)
Yeah, test it out (put it to the test)
Yeah, put it to the test (put it to the test)
Put it to the test (put it to the test)
That you think you know how to explain
You need a test
Yeah, think up a test
If it's possible to prove it wrong
You're going to want to know before too long
You'll need a test
If somebody says they figured it out
And they're leaving any room for doubt
Come up with a test

If you want to know if it's the truth
Then, my friend, you are going to need proof
Come up with a test
Yeah, you need a test
Don't believe it 'cause they say it's so
If it's not true, you have a right to know
Put it to the test (put it to the test)
Yeah, test it out (put it to the test)
Yeah, put it to the test (put it to the test)
Put it to the test (put it to the test)
Can't Keep Johnny Down - They Might Be Giants
Lyrics:
Outnumbered a million to one
All of the dicks in this dick town
Can't keep Johnny down
Men piled up in a towering mound
None of them once has found a way
To keep Johnny down
Spending days by myself
Remembering slights
I'm not a monument to justice
Plus which I don't forget a face
And they can't (down, down, down)
Can't keep Johnny down (down, down, down)
They haven't yet built the man (down, down, down)
That'll keep old Johnny down (down, down, down)
Some dude
Hitting golf balls on the moon
Bathroom in his pants
And he thinks he's better than me
I'm pointing a finger at my own face
They can't know what's in here
And they can't keep Johnny down
Beneath my dignity
To flip off the guy
When he pulls up alongside
To say my gas cap is unscrewed
And they can't (down, down, down)
Can't keep Johnny down (down, down, down)
They haven't yet built the man (down, down, down)
That'll keep old Johnny down (down, down, down)
And they don't (down, down, down)
Don't know what I've seen (down, down, down)
They can't know what's in here (down, down, down)
And they can't keep Johnny down (down, down, down)
Photosynthesis - They Might Be Giants (official video)
Lyrics:
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis does not involve a camera
Or a synthesizer although that's interesting too
Photosynthesis is how plants take in light
From the sun and turn it into energy
It's actually a thing on which most life depends
Here on the planet earth
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis
With plants
Chlorophyll cells take in carbon dioxide
Now that's the air that we breathe out
Combines it with water and exposes it to sunlight
And that's how plants can make their own food
Photosynthesis is why plants need light
And photosynthesis is why humans need plants
Because through photosynthesis plants make oxygen
And humans need oxygen to breathe
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis
I'm Impressed - They Might Be Giants
Lyrics:
I'm impressed, I'm impressed
When that gorilla beats his chest
Fall to bits, I confess, I admit, I'm impressed
When the torpedo in the vest barks, his orders, I'm impressed
And I find that my head's nodding yes
Though my legs are not following
I'm inspired by events
To remember the exits in back of me
I'm impressed, I'm impressed
When that gorilla pounds his desk
I fall to bits, I confess, I admit, I'm impressed
Through generalissimo's request, I can't help but feel impressed
On the one hand
He'll give you five good reasons to follow him
On the other hand
You see nobody leaving the stadium
I'm impressed, I'm impressed
By that Godzilla's flaming breath
I fall to bits, I confess, I admit, I'm impressed
When the tornado from the west crushes buildings, I'm impressed
And I find that my head's nodding yes
Though my legs are not following
I'm inspired by events
To remember the exits in back of me
I'm impressed, I'm impressed
When that gorilla beats his chest
I fall to bits, I confess, I admit, I'm impressed
When the torpedo in the vest barks his orders, I'm impressed
Whence That I Wince - They Might Be Giants
Lyrics:
I was stirring up a stirrup cup In a stolen sterling stein When I chanced upon a ladle Who was once my Valentine "Oh, whence that wince My wench?" quoth I She blushed and said, "Oh Sir" "Oh, daddy isn't stirring Since my mama's been in stir" Oh, daddy isn't stirring Since my mama's been in stir
They Might Be Giants - Zero
Lyrics:
Zeroes! (Zeroes!)Zeroes mean so much
Zeroes! (Zeroes!)
Zeroes mean so much
In numbers big (one million) to small (one millionth)
And the number that means nothing at all (the number zero)
Zeroes! (Zeroes!)
Zeroes mean so much
Zeroes! (Zeroes!)
Zeroes mean so much
In numbers big (ten, one hundred, one thousand)
And numbers small (one tenth, one one-hundredth, one one-thousandth)
And the number that means nothing at all (the number zero)
One definition of zero
Is the mathematical value
Between positive and negative values
Zeroes! (Zeroes!)
Zeroes mean so much
In numbers big (one million) to small (one millionth)
And the number that means nothing at all (the number zero)
They Might Be Giants - Triops
Lyrics:
Rabbits have two eyesAnd whales have two eyes
And eagles have two eyes
But triops has three eyes
Triops has three eyes
Two eyes on a face
Are usually enough
But triops has got
One that looks up
And one that looks around
And one to keep an eye
On the other pair of guys
Triops has three eyes
Needles have an eye
Tornadoes have an eye
Potatoes have a lot of eyes
But triops has three eyes
Triops has three eyes
Everything with eyes
Has some amount of eyes
And triops has got
One that looks up
And one that looks around
And one to keep an eye
On the other pair of guys
Triops has three eyes
There are two sides to every story
But triangles have three
And the tricycle has one more cycle than the washing machine
Chickens have two legs
And firemen have two legs
And monkeys have two legs
But tripods have three legs
Tripods have three legs
They've got more than you
'Cuz they need more than two
A tripod has got
One that points back
And one that sticks out
And one to be a friend
To the other pair of legs
Tripods have three legs
Look, there's an eye
Hey, there's another eye
And there's a third eye
'Cuz triops has three eyes
Triops has three eyes
Two eyes on a face
Are usually enough
But triops has got
One that looks up
And one that looks around
And one to keep an eye
On the other pair of guys
Triops has got
One that points back
And one that sticks out
And one to be a friend
To the other pair of guys
Triops has three eyes
Triops has three eyes
Triops has three eyes

They Might Be Giants - Seven
Lyrics:
Oh, there's the doorbellLet's see who's out there
Oh, it's a seven
Hello, Seven
Won't you come in, Seven?
Make yourself at home
Hey, who's that other guy?
Is that your friend there?
Oh, that's just Seven
Another seven
Hello, Seven
Won't you come in as well?
Now who would like some cake?
I would like some cake, me too
What's that at the window?
A whole bunch of sevens
They're coming in now
And there's a lot of them
And down the chimney too
Hey guys, come on in
I bet they want some cake
We want cake, where's our cake?
My house is full of sevens
They're filling up the living room
Sliding down the banister
Talking on the telephone
Inviting over more sevens
It's a green house at the end of the block
I'm running out of cake
We want cake, where's our cake?
My house is full of sevens
We want cake, where's our cake?
Lots and lots of sevens
We want cake, where's our cake?
Many more are stopping by
Sevens add and multiply
There's only one way to subtract them
Let them eat up all the cake
They Might Be Giants - Secret Life of Six
Lyrics:
The secret life of sixMeans having fun
When everyone's inside
He's in the sun
Six knows how to stand on his head
Six knows how to stand on his head
Six knows how to stand on his head
Six knows how to stand on his head
And when six pretends he's nine
He acts older and older
And when six pretends he's nine
He wears wiser disguises
The secret life of nine
Means having fun
When everyone's inside
He's in the sun
Nine knows how to stand on his head
Nine knows how to stand on his head
Nine knows how to stand on his head
Nine knows how to stand on his head
And when nine pretends he's six
He acts sunny and funny
And when nine pretends he's six
He announces, he bounces
They Might Be Giants - One Everything
Lyrics:
There's only one everythingRemember these words
There's only one everything
And if you go out and count up everything
It all adds up to one
There's only one everything
The last time I checked
There's only one everything
It kinda makes sense that there would only be
Just one, not ten, not three
If you get all the stuff together
And you have not left something out
Then could there still be anything left over?
I'm pretty sure that means there could not
We share the same omniverse
Please clean your room
We share the same omniverse
And even though you are over here and not there
There's just one everywhere
You got the cars, the trees, the house
There are some clouds, some birds, a monster
And when it's all too much to count up
You can put it in one pile
What if you drew a giant circle
What if it went around all there is
Then would there still be such a thing as an outside
And does that question even make any sense?
There's only one everything
The last time I checked
There's only one everything
It kinda makes sense that there would only be
Just one, not ten, not three, not twelve
There's only one everything
Remember these words
There's only one everything
And if you go out and count up everything
It all adds up to one
It all adds up, it all adds up
It all adds up to one
They Might Be Giants - One Dozen Monkeys
Lyrics:
I am a girl. I'm 11 years oldThat's one more than 10
And one less than 12 (One dozen)
At noon (12 o'clock)
I was eating a cupcake from a baker's dozen (Of cupcakes)
That's 13 cupcakes
And the postman rang the doorbell to deliver a package
It was a barrel that came from the jungle
One dozen monkeys jumped right out of the monkey barrel
12 crazy monkeys ran right out of the monkey barrel
11 monkeys ran up into the tree
One monkey stayed behind and now that monkey rides a bike around with me
Mom was upset with the monkeys in the tree
And the monkey on a bike
Which I named Larry
With a dozen bananas she got the monkeys in the barrel
And gave it to the postman to send back to the jungle
But then the monkeys jumped back out of the monkey barrel
12 crazy monkeys ran right out of the monkey barrel
11 monkeys ran back into the tree
One monkey stayed behind and now that monkey rides a bike around with me
His name is Larry

They Might Be Giants - Number Two
Lyrics:
If you need a friend, you know what to doYou can count on me,'cause I'm the Number Two
One day at the beach, the next at the zoo
I'm always around, I'm the Number Two
Two arms to hold ya, two legs for walkin'
Two ears on your head, so you can hear when I'm talkin'
Two feet for stompin', two hands for clappin'
Two eyes on your face, so you can see when I'm laughin'
(Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)
All over the world, you know that it's true
I'm always around, 'cause I'm the Number Two
At home or the park, you know I'll pull through
You can count on me, I'm the Number Two
Two hips for shakin', two lips for kissin'
Too long I've been blue, because it's you that I'm missin'
Two knees for kneelin', two shoulders for shruggin'
Two cheeks to make a little grin while we're huggin'
Ba ba ba ba ba [etc.]
I used to be sad that I am not no one
Until I found out that I am twice as fun
If you need a friend, you know what to do
You can count on me,'cause I'm the Number Two
One day at the beach, the next at the zoo
I'm always around, I'm the Number Two
I am the Number Two, I am the Number Two
I am the Two the Two the Two the Two the Number Two
I am the Two, it's true, the Number Two
[Laughing]

They Might Be Giants - Nonagon
Lyrics:
Everybody at the party is a many-sided polygon
When a guest arrives, they will count how many sides it has on
Standing by the window over there
There is a shape with four sides so it's a square
And the one who has nine is looking fine
And its name is Nonagon
Everybody turns just in time to see the pentagon arrive
Counting up the sides, it is clear the pentagon has five
Chatting in the kitchen we see
There is a triangle whose sides number three
And is talking to the shape that has nine
Who is known as Nonagon
Nonagon
Nonagon lets in a guest who has shown up late
Its name is Octagon and its sides add up to eight
Turning the music on
Is a six-sided hexagon
And they all get in a line and do
A dance called "The Nonagon"
The Nonagon
The Nonagon

They Might Be Giants - Nine Bowls of Soup
Lyrics:
Nine bowls of soup are balanced on the end of a rake
On an ichthyosaur's head
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Oh good, none of them spilled
Please can I have one Mr. Ichthyosaur?
No, you can't, I'm saving them for friends
But you don't have any friends
Yes, I do, no, you don't, yes, I do, now be quiet
I'm trying to concentrate
Nine bowls of soup on the wings of an airplane
Flown by an ichthyosaur
Woah, woah, woah
Lucky thing they didn't all spill
Is there one that's kind of extra? Can I have it for my own?
No, you can't, I can't break up the set
But the soup is getting cold, no, it isn't, yes, it is
No, I don't know what you're talking about
Nine bowls of soup are balanced on a snake
That the ichthyosaur is taking for a walk
Woah, woah, woah, waah
Phew, I really thought that that was it
I just think that you have more than you can handle
What's all the soup for anyway?
I didn't think you even really liked soup
Why do you need nine bowls? Why do you need
Why do you need nine?
If I tell you what these are for
Then will you stop bothering me?
Nine bowls of soup arranged a certain way
Are some radar dishes in a very large array
And the message they detect from across the Milky Way
Says the aliens want to join us for lunch
I hope you guys like soup
On an ichthyosaur's head
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Oh good, none of them spilled
Please can I have one Mr. Ichthyosaur?
No, you can't, I'm saving them for friends
But you don't have any friends
Yes, I do, no, you don't, yes, I do, now be quiet
I'm trying to concentrate
Nine bowls of soup on the wings of an airplane
Flown by an ichthyosaur
Woah, woah, woah
Lucky thing they didn't all spill
Is there one that's kind of extra? Can I have it for my own?
No, you can't, I can't break up the set
But the soup is getting cold, no, it isn't, yes, it is
No, I don't know what you're talking about
Nine bowls of soup are balanced on a snake
That the ichthyosaur is taking for a walk
Woah, woah, woah, waah
Phew, I really thought that that was it
I just think that you have more than you can handle
What's all the soup for anyway?
I didn't think you even really liked soup
Why do you need nine bowls? Why do you need
Why do you need nine?
If I tell you what these are for
Then will you stop bothering me?
Nine bowls of soup arranged a certain way
Are some radar dishes in a very large array
And the message they detect from across the Milky Way
Says the aliens want to join us for lunch
I hope you guys like soup
