Another Postcard Lyrics

[Chorus: Steven Page]
Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me
Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me

[Verse 3: Ed Robertson]
Somehow they followed me even though I packed and moved my home
No matter what, they come and they come they won't leave me alone

Another monkey in the mail could make me lose my mind
But look at me shuffling through the stack until I finally find
Some chimps in swimsuits
Some chimps in Jackboots
Some chimps in hard hats
Some chimps who love cats
I've got some shaved chimps; that's chimps devoid of any hair
I've got depraved chimps dressed up in women's underwear

[Chorus: Steven Page & (Ed Robertson)]
Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me
Every one is, every one is, every one is addressed to me
Every one is, every one is, every one is addressed to me
Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me
Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me
Another postcard with chimpanzees
(Some chimps in swimsuits, Some chimps in Jackboots
Some chimps in hard hats, Some chimps who love cats)
And every one is addressed to me
(I've got some shaved chimps; that's chimps devoid of any hair
I've got depraved chimps dressed up in women's underwear)
Another postcard with chimpanzees
(Starsky and Hutch chimps, a chimp who's sitting on the can
A pair of Dutch chimps who send their love from Amsterdam)
And every one is addressed to me
(Some chimps in Mustangs, Some chimps in chain gangs
I got a birthday wishin' chimp and I got the goin' fishin' chimp)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

This is a playful song about a never-ending stream of postcards depicting chimpanzees, similar to the gnome gag in the film ‘Amelie’.

It was inspired when a neighbor of Steven Page sent a postcard of a chimp to one of Page’s children.
