[Chorus 1]
Quiz night at Looky Lou's
Quiz night at Looky Lou's
Quiz night at Looky Lou's
I trust you will know what to do
[Verse 1]
I can't recall what we were waiting in line for
When the first plane fell a block away
And the next even closer
Ma**ive thumps and flames
And then I woke up with a calico cat on my chest
In the basement of a bar in Sudbury
I sang to it calmly with my mind and it obeyed my commands
Slunk off to rub itself against the leg of a broken Terminator 2 pinball machine
I dream of the line and the falling planes
Once or twice a week these days
Usually after a particularly challenging quiz night
Which, for a reasonable fee and a place to sleep
I administer in bars and lounges across the land
[Chorus 2]
Quiz night at Looky Lou's
Quiz night at Looky Lou's
When we meet and I sing you this song with my mind
You will know what you need to do
[Verse 2]
The quiz I have developed is an elaborately coded message
A quiz within a quiz
Answerable only by Alpha Adepts and mind singers
Each night I am certain they will reveal themselves to me
Each night I am disappointed
I must admit I am getting older
And years of folding my legs into a Greyhound seat every day
Is beginning to dull my powers
Which were once considerable
And are now wasted instructing cats
Or warding off the body odor of my fellow pa**engers
So when I saw you standing in line in the dream
I felt joyful and certain
When we finally meet tonight at Looky Lou's Sports Tavern in Sioux Lookout
I will sing you the following song with my mind
And hand you all my quiz materials
I trust you will know what to do
[Chorus 3]
Quiz night at Looky Lou's
Quiz night at Looky Lou's
When we meet and I sing you this song with my mind
You will know what you need to do
Quiz night at Looky Lou's
Quiz night at Looky Lou's
Quiz night at Looky Lou's
I trust you will know what to do
