Haiku Songtext
von Slapp Happy

Chipping at the moon with an old bone
Isa and his sister chip until the moon′s gone
An endless row of wagons in the snow
Isa grabs his sister, says, "Come on, let's go"

′Cause yeah, I think I'll write a haiku
Well, you know as well as I do
You've got to, got to have a high IQ
To eat this, have a cup of tea

Widow lightin′ lamps at cockcrow
Send God′s damsel to help his blood flow
From his brush, figures rush
In the middle sits a poet, almost smothered, almost crushed

Crying, "Yeah, I think I'll write a haiku
Well, you know as well as I do
You′ve got to, got to, got to have a high IQ
So eat this and have a cup of tea"


Siskel, Diacel
Dealing with the parts but feeling
Feeling with the whole
Yo

The hand shines tears
Small words resting on their spears
For warlords
In the wood, a drop of blood
Hits an inky palm which ripples as it should

Letting, "Why don't you, why don′t you write a haiku?
Yeah, you know as well as I do
All you need is a very high IQ
To eat this and have a cup of tea," yeah
Yeah, ooh, yeah, ooh
La la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la la
