Welcome To Tally Hall

(album: Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum - 2005)

Welcome to Marvin's Marvellous Mechanical Museum
Known from coast to coast like butter and toast
From inland to Finland
Uluru to Peru
No other place is continued in the United States
Or other environments of the world
Welcome

Can I get a T? ("T")
And if you hit me with the A L L Y
Then you'd see why
The Hall is here for y'all
The mini mall is calling us all in
So kids, pack up your mom's car
Back up the Windstar
Kick it in drive and arrive at the mega mart
Slide the side hatch with pride 'cause your ties match
On booty duty like your name was Eddie Thatch

W W T H D
We like to kick it at the university
But all work and no play makes us crazy
So we jump in the bumping SUV
Hit the street get the sweet tunes on
Do a donut on your momma's front lawn
And sooner than you know
You found the rock'n'roll show
At the Tizzy Hizzy we'll be gone

We're in the mini mall
Working the carnival
We like to play it all
Welcome to Tally Hall

"Who's to blame?"
The automated players, I proclaim
Yellow tie, this suave fellow writes
Heterophonic tunes of how love bites
Red, the proud loud guy we adore
"Is my amp too high?" "No, turn it up more!"
So Grey in the back, sipping 'gnac, can hear
He's knocking down the shots like Bill Laimbeer
Send home the locksmith, Green's got keys
To unlock the rock in the act if you please
Now open the case, give Blue the bass
And jiggle your badigle all over the place

We're in the mini mall
Working the carnival
We like to play it all
Welcome to Tally Hall

Can I get a click
Flick off the switch
And we'll ignite the night in pitch
Singing songs you like to hear
And the world will disappear
Then we'll be glowing in the dark
Lighting up the park
Revealing that the Hall is the place that aims to please
With unpredictable games and antiquities
The collectibles so delectable
The unreliable style's undetectable

Like I might rap like an English chap
Take you by the knickers and a bum you'll slap
You didn't think we had the gall
Well, bloody welcome to Tally Hall!

We're stereosonic, we're animatronic
We're rapping with the robolectronic ebonics
A quick distraction, a mechanic attraction
Got a penny in your pocket for the slot
Rock!

Hey, ho, don't'cha know?
It's a good old-fashioned puppet show!
That's right, quite the set
With a marionette quintet

We think we're playing in a band
We'd love to give you all a hand
Woo!

We're in the mini mall
Working the carnival
We like to play it all
Welcome to Tally Hall

We think we're playing in a band
We'd love to give you all a hand
We think we're playing in a band
We'd love to give you all a hand
