National Lampoon - Deteriorata lyrics

rate me

You are a fluke

Of the universe.

You have no right to be here...

Deteriorata! Deteriorata!

Go placidly

Amid the noise and waste.

And remember what comfort there may be

In owning a piece thereof.

Avoid quiet and passive persons

Unless you are in need of sleep.

Ro-tate your tires.

Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself

And heed well their advice,

Even though they be turkeys.

Know what to kiss... and when!

Consider that two wrongs never make a right

But that THREE... do.

Wherever possible, put people on hold.

Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment

And despite the changing fortunes of time,

There is always a big future in computer main-te-nance.

Chorus

You are a fluke

Of the universe.

You have no right to be here.

And whether you can hear it or not

The universe is laughing behind your back.

Remember the Pueblo.

Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle and mu-ti-late.

Know yourself.

If you need help, call the FBI.

Exercise caution in your daily affairs,

Especially with those persons closest to you.

That lemon on your left, for instance.

Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls

Would scarcely get your feet wet.

Fall not in love therefore;

It will stick to your face.

Gracefully surrender the things of youth:

The birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan

And let not the sands of time

Get in your lunch.

Hire people with hooks.

For a good time call 606-4311;

Ask for "Ken."

Take heart amid the deepening gloom

That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.

And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot

It could only be worse in Milwaukee.

Chorus

You are a fluke

Of the universe.

You have no right to be here.

And whether you can hear it or not

The universe is laughing behind your back.

Therefore, make peace with your god

Whatever you conceive him to be

Hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin.

With all it's hopes, dreams, promises and urban renewal

The world continues to deteriorate.

GIVE UP!

Reprise

You are a fluke

Of the universe.

You have no right to be here.

And whether you can hear it or not

The universe is laughing behind your back.<br />
