No Vacancies Lyrics

No Vacancies

I saw two caterpillars playing in the grass

One said to the other I could kick your ass

The other one said you want a piece of this

Not a punch was thrown neither one could make a fist

No karate kicks their legs was too short

They mutually agreed to settle it in court

They hired a couple of lawyers who went into the ring

Issuing subpoenas armed with mud they had to sling

Watching all this madness the caterpillars sighed

Slithered from the courtroom and had a beer outside

Decided not to chase the euro dollar or the yen

Shook each others' legs and said let's start all over again

Every butterfly that they'd ever seen

Was driving in a bulletproof purple limousine

Every boss man that they'd ever served

Became absolutely unnerved

When they said I'd rather be the rooster

I'm tired of being your hen

The boss men said stop

There's no room at the top

You'd better start all over again

I saw two mountain climbers clawing at the face

Of the ladder of success that we call the human race

One said to the other what happens if we fall

The other one said I don't think of that at all

No daring moves they were just trying to survive

They mutually agreed that they were better off alive

They couldn't reach their cell phones as the blizzard blew on in

There was nobody to call and the air was growing thin

Aware of all this madness with their sponsors growing tense

They slithered down the mountain trying to make some sense

Gathered at the base camp with the well paid lesser men

Shook each others hands and said let's start all over again

Every butterfly that they'd ever seen

Was driving in a bulletproof purple limousine

Every boss man that they'd ever served

Became absolutely unnerved

When they said I'd rather be the rooster

I'm tired of being your hen

The boss men said stop

There's no room at the top

You'd better start all over again
