Album : Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before!

No we're gonna do a bunch of new stuff tonight
And uh But I'm gonna have to warn
you most of it's in German
So I hope you've all attended
your German classes in high school
because you're required to take
I think it's at least two languages aren't you
In high school
Yeah
Yes
Yes two languages and typing That's all you need
And you get a high school diploma
Is woodshop a language
No woodshop falls under typing
Oh okay This next song is called 99 Luftballons
Ah 1 2 a 1 2 3
I first met Millie in art class in high school
With her short brown bob
she was better than Bateman's best
I never thought I'd ever see a miracle
And who'd have thought it would be in an arcade
Well she moved like an angel
And she spoke like a memory
And she smoked like a chimney
And she completed Dragon's Lair on just one quarter
On just one quarter
On just one quarter
On just one quarter
I called her up but she wasn't home
I knew she was downstairs but her dad didn't like me
I never thought I'd see a miracle
I called her back in 10 minutes and disguised my voice
I spoke like an actor
And I moved like a burglar
Then I lied like a carpet
And I did a phony survey on her whole family
On her whole family
On her whole family
On her whole family
Nobody at school knew what I was trying to do
But right after art class I made history
'Cause when you love someone
Yeah and you don't even know no one
She moved like an angel
She spoke like a memory
Then she moved to Alberta
I'm gonna visit her at grandma's
Well maybe next week
Yeah maybe next week
Okay maybe not next week
Maybe never
Maybe it doesn't matter
Maybe it never did
It didn't matter at all
