Measuring Cups - Andrew Bird

Get out your measuring cups

And we’ll play a new game

Come to the front of the class

And we’ll measure your brain

We’ll give you a complex

And we’ll give it a name

Get out your measuring cups

And we’ll play a new game

Can’t have the cream when the crop

And the cream are the same

Liquid or gas

No more than the glass

Will contain

When you talk about the Hand of Glory

A tale that’s rather grim and gory

Is it just another children’s story

That’s been de-clawed?

When the tales of brothers Grimm and Gorey

Have been outlawed

I think they’re gonna make you start over

You don’t want to start over

Put your backpack on your shoulder

Be the good little soldier

Take your places now

Cause we’re all predisposed

Measuring cups, play a new game

Front of the class, measure your brain

Give you a complex and we’ll give it a name, no no

When you talk about the Hand of Glory

A tale that’s rather grim and gory

Is it just another children’s story

That’s been de-clawed?

When the tales of brothers Grimm and Gorey

Have been outlawed

Put your backpack on your shoulder

Be the good little soldier

It’s no different when you’re older

You’re predisposed

That’s all for questions

Now the case is closed
