Squirrel Nut Zippers › Lyrics › Put a Lid on It

Put a lid on it what's that you say?
Put a lid on it oh man, no way
Put a lid down on it, and everything will be all right
Put a lid on it don't hand me that
Put a lid on it I'm all right, Jack
Put a lid down on it, before somebody starts a fight

Say, every time I turn it loose
Your cats come down and cook my goose
When I start I just can't stop
But if you keep this up you're gonna blow your top

Put a lid on it too late this time
Put a lid on it I've got to get what's mine
Put a lid down on it and everything will be all right

Well, grab your drink and clear a space
I think it's time to torch this place
Now the girl's in overdrive
Some of your pals want to stay alive

I'll put a lid on it I'll put a lid on it
I'll put a lid down on it
Save it for another night
