She Don't Use Jelly

Words & Music:

Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Ronald Jones

& Michael Ivins (The Flaming Lips)

 

I changed the attribution of this to "The Flaming Lips" (who wrote it) after being flamed by a correspondent.  However, the version that hooked me on this song (a great pseudo-lounge cover) was, in fact, by the Ben Folds Five.

I know a girl who thinks of ghosts

I know a guy who goes to shows.

When he's at home and he blows his nose.

He don't use tissues or his sleeve.

He don't use napkins or any of these.

He uses magazines, magazines.

She don't use nothing you buy at the store
