Dad?
Oh, hi, Vanessa!
Dad, what are you doing?
Well I'll be honest I don't really understand
But I fell down this hill, now I got glue on my hands
And I got records on my fingers (Whaat?)
Records on my fingers
I got records on my fingers and I just can't stop
(Don't stop)
I can't stop I got a platypus controlling me
(Whaaat?)
I got a platypus controlling me
Now let me sum it up
It was a strange set of circumstances
(Strange set of circumstances)
I fell down the hill, I got glue on my hands now I got records on my fingers
And I just can't stop
(Don't stop don't stop)
Well I would if I was able
There's a platypus controlling me he's underneath the table
(There's a platypus controlling him, what?)
Oh I get it, platypus is a metaphor for whatever's keeping you down
The corporations are a platypus
The government's a platypus
Your teacher is a platypus
(My teacher is a panda)
Society's a platypus
My parents are a platypus
The media's a platypus
It's all just propaganda
Yeah we all got a platypus controlling us
(Just me)
We all got a platypus controlling us
(I'd stop if I was able)
We all got a platypus controlling us
I'm not speaking metaphorically
The platypus controlling me is underneath the table. Wait!
Oh wait, no, he's gone!
Hey! There's no platypus controlling me
There's no platypus controlling me!
