They Might Be Giants - Snail Shell lyrics

Sir hand Or is it ma'am I fell out of my right place again And you Considered me And now i'm where a snail has to be I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell Was it something you would do for anybody? Was it what you'd only do for me? I need to know because you see I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell Friend Look what you gave And how can you ever be repaid? How may i give you a hand From the position at your feet where i stand? So let me thank you for putting me back in my snail shell I'd like to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell Was it something you would do for anybody? Was it what you'd only do for me? I need to know because you see I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell Snail shell Thank you Snail shell Thank you Ah Ah Ah Was it something you would do for anybody? Was it what you'd only do for me? Or was it something where you acted when you saw the need And knew that there would be a way the act could be repaid And so it may, but for today I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell
