Mainstream - Lyrics by They Might Be Giants


Lyrics

Can i have this last dance, my darling?
Can i have this last dance with you?
I wanna dance the whole night tonight

And can i have this last dance, my darling?
Can i have this last dance with you?
These are the words that he told to the fellow next door

Mainstream, u.s.a.
I flipped that guy the bird
Mainstream, u.s.a.
Is all i wanna say

Mainstream, u.s.a.
I flipped that guy the bird
Mainstream, u.s.a.
Is all i wanna say

We are the world (back off, fool)
We are (i'm talking to you)
We are the world (back off, fool)

Mainstream, u.s.a.
I flipped that guy the bird
Mainstream, u.s.a.
Is all i wanna say
Mainstream, u.s.a.
I flipped that guy the bird
Mainstream, u.s.a.
Is all i wanna say



Notes

The lyrics above are as heard on the original dial-a-song version. the following verse is tacked on to the end of the lofi (das online) version, and is sung superimposed with the first verse in
Hen version:

As i rode the subway this morning
There was a man with a boat beside me
And he tapped out rhythms with a smile on his face

And the tip of his finger
That he found on the floor
And these are the words that he told to the fellow next door
