Another Postcard Lyrics by Barenaked Ladies

Hits from Yesterday & the Day Before

2003

[Verse 1: Ed Robertson]
You can't imagine so many monkeys in the daily mail
All of them coming anonymously so they leave no trail
I never thought I'd have an admirer from overseas
But someone is sending me stationery filled with chimpanzees
Some chimps in swimsuits, some chimps are swinging from a vine
Some chimps in jackboots, some chimps that wish they could be mine
Starsky and Hutch chimps, a chimp who's sitting on the can
A pair of Dutch chimps who send their love from Amsterdam
[Chorus: Steven Page]
Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me
Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me
[Verse 2: Ed Robertson]
If I had to guess, I'd say the monkey-sender thinks it's great
He's sending me, maybe she's sending me just to see me get irate
I'm losing sleep - and it's gonna be keeping me up all night
I thought it was funny, but now I've got money on a monkey fight
Some chimps in hard hats, chimps a-working on a chain gang
Some chimps who love cats, burning rubber in a Mustang
A birthday-wishing chimp, a chimp in black like a goth
A goin' fishin' chimp, a British chimp in the bath
[Chorus: Steven Page]
Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me
Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me
[Verse 3: Ed Robertson]
Somehow they followed me even though I packed and moved my home
No matter what, they come and they come they won't leave me alone
Another monkey in the mail could make me lose my mind
But look at me shuffling through the stack until I finally find
Some chimps in swimsuits
Some chimps in Jackboots
Some chimps in hard hats
Some chimps who love cats
I've got some shaved chimps; that's chimps devoid of any hair
I've got depraved chimps dressed up in women's underwear
[Chorus: Steven Page & (Ed Robertson)]
Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me
Every one is, every one is, every one is addressed to me
Every one is, every one is, every one is addressed to me
Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me
Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me
Another postcard with chimpanzees
(Some chimps in swimsuits, Some chimps in Jackboots
Some chimps in hard hats, Some chimps who love cats)
And every one is addressed to me
(I've got some shaved chimps; that's chimps devoid of any hair
I've got depraved chimps dressed up in women's underwear)
Another postcard with chimpanzees
(Starsky and Hutch chimps, a chimp who's sitting on the can
A pair of Dutch chimps who send their love from Amsterdam)
And every one is addressed to me
(Some chimps in Mustangs, Some chimps in chain gangs
I got a birthday wishin' chimp and I got the goin' fishin' chimp)
