lirik lagu jason gotay & jeremy jordan - the riddle song
[homer, spoken]
what’s pink and green and flies all over?
[floyd, spoken]
oh, come on now, that’s an easy one
you got nothin’ harder than that?
homer?
homer, you there, buddy?
[homer, spoken]
what’s made of stone but’s soft like a pillow?
[floyd, spoken]
that’s supposed to be harder?
i can answer that one, too
[homer, spoken]
oh yeah?
what’s made of stone but is soft like a pillow?
where you can lay on top or sink down in it?
where you can get underneath but it don’t crush you?
[homer]
come on, think now
you better think now, floyd
give it some thought now
it ain’t hard!
you know, i know you know
i’m a~harkenin’ back to a time ago
when a day wasn’t done if we didn’t raise h~ll
and the sun put us under a magic spell
[homer, spoken & floyd, spoken]
you’re a dumbass, you know that?
you must be the dumbest~ass ever— (shut up, i got it)
[homer, spoken]
well?
[floyd, spoken]
sand!
[homer, spoken]
sorry
[floyd, spoken]
but it’s made of stone and soft like a pillow
you can lay on top or sink down in it
[homer, spoken]
yeah, but that ain’t this riddle and you ain’t got it yet
so keep thinkin’, and use your brain this time
[floyd, spoken]
oh
[homer, spoken]
what’s made of stone but’s soft like a pillow?
[floyd, spoken]
i already told you, homer
i said “sand,” like the great sand cave!
[homer, spoken]
and i said, “sorry”
what’s made of stone but is soft like a pillow?
where you can float on top or dive down in it?
where you can sink underneath but it don’t crush you?
[homer]
come on, think now
you better think now, floyd
give it some thought, now
it ain’t hard!
you know, i know you know
i’m a~harkenin’ back to a time ago
when you’d say to me
“homer, are you ready, are you set?”
and i’d say to you
“floyd, are you ready to get wet?”
[floyd]
oh, i know!
what’s soft just like a pillow
made of rock, carved in stone?
the answer to the riddle surely is the quarry
[floyd & homer]
the quarry!
[floyd]
the sun beatin’ down on our faces all blisterin’ hot, homer
we’d run off alone to our own secret spot, homer
under the shade ‘side our old fishin’ hole
we’d each have some worms and an old fishin’ pole
[homer]
with school far away like it weren’t there at all, floyd
we’d hook for a day and we’d sure as h~ll have us a ball, floyd
go for a swim just to cool off our hide
float on top with the sky open wide
[floyd, spoken]
all right, okay—
i got one for you
what’s got a trunk and a tail and fifty limbs?
[homer, spoken]
shh, i’m concentratin’ on diggin’, floyd
[floyd, spoken]
you’re not concentratin’, you fibber
you’re just a wee bit slow in the head
just like you always been, a wee bit slow
what’s got a trunk and a tail and fifty limbs?
that you can ride all day but you don’t go nowhere
only front to back and to and fro?
[floyd]
come on, think now
you better think now, homer
give it some thought now
it ain’t hard
you know, i know you know
i’m a~harkenin’ back to a time ago
when a day didn’t end when you couldn’t catch us tryin’
to ride it high ’til it felt like flyin’
[homer]
oh, i know!
the answer to the riddle—
trunk and a tail and fifty limbs
the answer to the riddle surely is the swing tree
[floyd & homer]
the swing tree!
[homer]
we’d shimmy on up
like we’re goin’ after a squirrel, floyd
[floyd]
da, da, dacky d~cky da
da, da, dacky d~cky d~cka
[homer]
up to the crook
where we could look down on the world, floyd
[floyd]
da, da, dacky d~cky da
da, da, dacky d~cky d~cka
[homer]
out on a limb
where that old rope was hung
high above the water
waitin’ to be swung
[floyd]
da, da, dacky d~cky da
[floyd & homer]
da, da, dacky d~cky d~cka
slide down the rope
and my legs start to pump, homer / floyd
[homer]
da, da, dacky d~cky da
[floyd]
da, da, dacky d~cky d~cka
[floyd & homer]
my heart starts to pound
and my head starts to thump, homer / floyd
[floyd]
da, da, dacky d~cky, da
[homer]
da, da, dacky d~cky d~cka
[floyd & homer]
higher and higher i’m swingin’ along
we’d get to singin’ that old swingin’ song
da, da, dacky d~cky da
da, da, dacky d~cky d~cka
da, da, dacky d~cky da
da, da, dacky d~cky d~cka
da, da, da~l!cky d~cky d~cka
da, da, da~l!cky d~cky d~cka
da, da, da~l!cky d~cky d~cka
da, da, da~l!cky d~cky d~cka
[floyd]
and when i don’t weigh nothin’
light as air, i let go
spinnin’ off and flippin’ over
all that water far below
and i open up for my swan dive
my spread eagle
my jesus~on~the~cross!
for thine is the kingdom
and the power and the glory
forever and ever through the flashing sun
ever and ever
over and over
falling
into that black water
and that rock, stickin’ up and comin’ at my face
that cold, black grave
cold grave
grave
[homer, spoken]
floyd?
floyd, come on back now
it’s me, buddy
come to your rescue
now you just lie there and rest, floyd
’cause i’m about to get you free
now here’s the final riddle
see if you can answer me this
what’s strong as a bull, smart as a fox
quick as a hare and stubborn as a mule?
can make like a snake through the tiniest hole
can get hung up for days and turn out fine?
[homer]
lookee here, now
there ain’t no two ways about it
you don’t have to worry at all
we’re almost there!
you know, i know you know
i’m a~harkenin’ back to a time ago
when a day didn’t end that we didn’t help each other
kinda like a friend and kinda like a brother
and it don’t matter none if it’s me or if it’s you
there ain’t no hole that we can’t pull through!
[floyd]
i know!
[homer]
hot d~mn!
[floyd]
yes sir!
[homer]
oo~ee!
[floyd]
it’s good to see you homer!
[homer]
we better clean you up
before they take your picture!
[floyd]
you’s just as ugly as you ever was!
what took you so d~mn long?
talkin’ too much like you always are
[homer]
what’s black and fast and shiny?
[floyd]
fast enough to make a panther squall?
[homer]
who’s gonna be there in it?
[floyd]
ridin’ high and sittin’ tall
[homer]
straight to louisville, who will tear?
[floyd]
far away from the toil and care
[homer]
with money to burn
[floyd]
on a h~ll of a spree
[homer]
the devil to pay?
[floyd & homer]
it’s plain to see
that’s an easy one
that’s us!
that’s us!
