South Carolina Lyrics by John Linnell

State Songs

1999

The other day my neighbor has a dented bike
Second day he called me from intensive care
Says he needs a picture of the dented bike
For the evidence of what a wreck he had
Accident
Accident
Lift that fork, eat that snail
Garçon summon up a new cocktail
Lift that fork, eat that snail
Garçon summon up a new cocktail
Crash my bicycle
Crash my bicycle
In a big South Carolina wreck
I crash my bicycle
Crash my bicycle
Crash my bicycle
In a big South Carolina wreck
I crash my bicycle
And I won some damages and they were punitive
By which I mean the punishment was damaging
It crushed my hand
It crushed my head
Garçon, where's my drink?
Wreck!
Observe the front wheel spinning upside down
Wreck!
The red reflector fragments strewn around
Wreck!
The back wheel's 'O' is now a letter 'D'
Wreck!
I was an 'I' and now I am a 'V'
Lift that fork, eat that snail
Garçon summon up a new cocktail
Lift that fork, eat that snail
Garçon summon up a new cocktail
Crash my bicycle
Crash my bicycle
In a big South Carolina wreck
I crash my bicycle
Crash my bicycle
Crash my bicycle
In a big South Carolina wreck
I crash my bicycle
If I had to do it all again, by bicycle
If I had to do it, I would crash my bicycle
I'd crush my head
Collect the bread
Crash my bicycle
Move around folks
Push her back there, move along
Show's over, folks
Let him breathe, step lively
Move around folks
Push her back there, move along
Show's over, folks
Let him breathe, step lively
Fork (fork)
Snail (snail)
Garçon (garçon)
Cocktail (cocktail)
Fork (fork)
Snail (snail)
Garçon (garçon)
Cocktail (cocktail)
Move around folks
Push her back there, move along
Show's over, folks
Let him breathe, step lively
Move around folks
Push her back there, move along
Show's over, folks
Let him breathe, step lively
Move around folks
Push her back there, move along
Show's over, folks
Let him breathe, step lively
Move around folks
Push her back there, move along
Show's over, folks
Let him breathe, step lively
Move around folks
Push her back there, move along
Show's over, folks
Let him breathe, step lively
Move around folks
Push her back there, move along
Show's over, folks
Let him breathe, step lively
Move around folks
Push her back there, move along
Show's over, folks
Let him breathe, step lively
Move around folks
Push her back there, move along
Show's over, folks
Let him breathe, step lively
