Barenaked Ladies — Four Seconds

[Intro] One two three four [Verse 1] Goes to show not what you know But who you know So's ya know, I can go, flow Bill Monroe Then throw to snow For the show stay low, play it on a dobro Oh, I tiptoe to-and-fro From Ontario, my stereo's blue like the rodeo Growin' like freak show free throw It's just the intro Keep droppin' like dominoes One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four! [Verse 2] Now rewind What'd you have in mind? Could we unwind? I'm fine, we can find a streamline Recombined, intertwined If I'm gonna headline I'm movin' all the behinds Line to line, I kind of shine Redesigned, redefined Keepin' up the spellbind, gotta make it worth the grind Just in time to have another close encounter Of the third kind One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four! [Chorus] I've been away four years and a day You'd be thinking I'd be lonely But I'm out here to stay Wouldn't have it any other way [Verse 3] Oh flip, the light is turning orange Coat ripped, when I caught it in the door hinge I slipped when the lady in the four inch Bought it in a store in Germany Wore it like a makeshift snowdrift Had to get a gift, saw the red shift rift When Greta got an eyelift Oh, sure that one's obscure Maybe even piss-poor But I had to take a little detour [Chorus] I've been away four years and a day You'd be thinking I'd be lonely But I'm out here to stay Wouldn't have it any other way [Outro] One Mississippi Two Mississippi Three Mississippi Four!
