Scattegories Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Scattegories categories
Scum electrocrats
Automatic roar
Party crash with Balderdash
Arms of Mickey's Big
Gets 'em every time
Memory escapes aplasia

[Verse 2]
Pictionary Nixon Kerry
Condoleezza's rice
Scattered on the floor
Mott the Hoople's got no scruples
With those groupie Janes

Mascara and Rye
Tempers will be flaring soon

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 [?]
