lyrics

Inchward bound we centimeter on,
puttering like a paraplegic’s paddleboat
plummeting like a wind-surfing paperweight.
Centimeter bound we inchward on,
we inchworms cry “misnomer”,
we crawl by the centimeter towards eminent nuclear annihilation:
Towards Prague, towards Kiev. Towards Leningrad, towards Stalingrad.
Radiating granulation, granulating radiation.

Inchward bound, we centimeter on.
Centimeter bound, we inchward on.
Lefty commie pinko Jimmy Carter crusaders for measurement standardization.
Until the miles behind us become kilometers,
the francs, the pounds, the rubles the knuts, the sickles, the galleons
all become euros, all become euros
Until the cows come home and their gallons of milk
become liters of sour cream.
