Lyrics Soul Asylum

Soul Asylum

Twiddly Dee

Twiddly dee fe fo fi fum

There's a giant sleeping and his pants are undone

He shows no pity for anyone

He's sure to be killed before the morning comes

Twiddle my fingers and I twiddle my thumbs

'Cause I ain't gonna quit 'til my work is all done

I'm a high society skid row bum

Well on my way to kingdom come

Well, I twiddle in the middle of the moon and sun

I'm wishing and dreaming I'm a special someone

Ain't laying my load on anyone

It's way too high and it weighs a ton

Do re mi fe fo fi fum

I'm a slave to the music, it's my father and son

I never force it on anyone

Can't keep it a secret so I keep it on the run

They may say what they say

'Bout the way that we stay

They may do what they do

'Bout the things that we do

Hey diddle diddle, did you spill your rum?

Ain't worried about the dumb things I've done

Ain't worried about the dumb things to come

When I smell the blood of a little bit of fun

Hey diddy hi diddy ho hi hum

Sometimes I wanna be friends with everyone

My friends tell me it can't be done

And some days I feel I don't know anyone

Now what goes up doesn't always come down

You'll never believe the things I've found

Amazing what you learn just hanging around

Can't put a square peg in a hole that's round

They may say what they say

'Bout the way that we stay

They may do what they do

'Bout the things that we do

Hey gabba hi gabba do da day

Ain't for winning or for losing it's the pleasure to play

Work all night and I sleep all day

Yes, I guess I'm lucky I can live my own way
