Nine Bowls Of Soup Lyrics - They Might Be Giants

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
