Professor Trinket

from Lizard House by Tyler Kamen

/

lyrics

Verse 1

Swing high, swing low,
Open a window,
Over and below,
Birds fly so shallow.
Apartment, a condo,
A bovine, a dingo,
A robin, an eagle,
A toucan, a seagull.

Get up and follow,
Gone to tomorrow,
Stolen or borrowed,
Time is an arrow.
Marco, pollo,
Coca colo,
Sweet dough, a phyllo,
Micro, a kilo.

Chorus

Engine troubles what you got, carry the heavy load.
We all know that pro Professor Trinket has the code.

Verse 2

You never have seen
A flying machine.
Shiny and so clean,
Silver and chrome green.
Somewhere between
The crystal and citrine,
Pistons so pristine,
Enzyme, a protein.

Chorus

Engine troubles what you got, carry the heavy load.
We all know that pro Professor Trinket is
the keeper of the access code.
Must have seen about a million smiling faces
in the trees as she shuffled along the road.
You got to tell us the number to the door
To open up and activate it.

Verse 3

Out in the valley,
There lives Monk Key,
Find him and tell he
Of bad things foreseen.
Steal back the machine,
Headmaster’s galley.
Don’t dilly-dally,
A daunting finale.

Chorus

Engine troubles what you got, carry the heavy load.
We all know that pro Professor Trinket is
the keeper of the access code.
Must have seen about a million smiling faces
in the trees as she shuffled along the road.
Carrying her baby cassowary as she
Wandered around for her new home.
(Baby cassowary needs a new home)

Engine troubles what you got, carry the heavy load.
We all know that pro Professor Trinket is
the keeper of the access code.
Must have seen about a million smiling faces
in the trees as she shuffled along the road.
You got to tell us the number to the door
To open up and activate it.

Outro

Ah, berry sweet, an apple rind.
The courting toads, a waft of dew.
One door closes,
Another one opens.

Sipping purple-colored cones,
The calico cat sees end of time.
One door closes,
Another one opens.
