All right. Let the suffering now commence:


Chorus:

Fish heads, fish heads, roly-poly fish heads.
Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up. Yum!

1. In the morning,
Laughing, happy, fish heads.
In the evening,
Floating in the soup.

[Chorus]

2. Ask a fish head
Anything you want to.
They won't answer.
They can't talk.

[Chorus]

3. I took a fish head
Out to see a movie.
Didn't have to pay to
Get it in.

[Chorus]

4.
Roly-poly-fish-heads-are-never-seen-drinking-cappucino-in-Italian-restaurants-with-Oriental-womennnnnnnnn...

Yeahhh...

[Chorus]
[Chorus]
yeahhhhhhhhh...

I confess I've never heard this anywhere other than on Dr. Demento
when I was a kid, and I once saw a video which might have been on
Nickolodeon years ago. I also have the alleged album from whence it
comes, "Voobaha" (real vinyl!), but in my mind some other material
from it, particularly Cemetery Girls [disturbing to say the least,
but strangely alluring in its segue from necro-imagery to the Beach
Boys] and Boogie Woogie Amputee ['nuff said?] are more memorable, in
a peculiar sort of way. I guess you'd have to characterize Barnes and
Barnes as early novelty/comedy punks. AFAIK, _all_ of their songs end
with the word, "yeah". Only Fish Heads uses the chipmunk-y voice
alteration.

brain for something useful
