Blast From the Past movie - Trou Macacq lyrics

Song by Squirrel Nut Zippers<br /><br>

This is the story of the trou macacq, the pine box derby, the monkey track<br>

This is the story of the trou macacq, the pine box derby, the monkey track<br>

Not what I heard or saw on TV,<br>

But what I witnessed entirely<br>

Each bend in the road was infact another curve on the monkey track<br>

Once upon a time we thought we were free<br>

And had control over destiny<br>

We saw ourselves a competent band<br>

Able to reason, prosper and plan<br>

But we had a chamber up in the moon<br>

Circumstance made us change our tune<br>

When the veil was torn from our face<br>

We became the monkeys riding the race<br>

MONKEY!<br>

You think you got the stuff it takes to break away!<br>

Boy you'll be on the track every day<br>

Talent, vigor,drive <br>

You'll eat peanut butter the rest of your life<br>

And these last things you can arrange<br>

Find other people equally strange<br>

Stuff yourselves in the van and ride the pine box derby to the finish line<br>

I said: Chris P. rides on a serious plan<br>

He's going to finish as fast as he can<br>

The Escalator takes it personally<br>

And does not drive professionally<br>

Charming Enchantress and Bones can run<br>

Even if the winshield wipers are on<br>

I the Broadcaster avoid police<br>

But the Bat was led into custody<br>

<br>
