ridiculous things happen when i stay up late...

this is a song about my next-door neighbor. some of you have experienced him yourself, so you will understand. others of you know that it is very absurd for me to be up at 3:04 in the morning. perhaps that explains this flapdoodle. either way, i invite you to enjoy my late night amusements...






Conan - lyrics

Hello -
Can you hear me?

This is a song about a man that lives next-door to me
He comes outside with a sword
He comes outside with a sword
He comes outside with a sword

This is a song about a man that lives next-door to me
He cuts our grass with a weed-
He cuts our grass with a weed-
He cuts our grass with a  weed-whacker

he's shaped like donkey kong
he works out to pop songs
all day long

won't see him in the light
straps on his sword at night
shades still drawn

he takes our trash out
like a gentle giant would
then he stalks his prey
in seattle's hood

and if you shout his name
he swears he'll come
to save you from the emerald city scum

This is a song about a man that lives next-door to me
He comes outside with a sword
He comes outside with a sword
He comes outside with a sword…

he's shaped like donkey kong
he works out to pop songs
all day long

won't see him in the light
straps on his sword at night
shades still drawn

Myths are made of him 
this legend man
It's nice to meet you
my name's Conan

We hear him in the basement
as he does kendo
And hear him practicing
his grunts echo….

….

My name's Conan
Ooo OH

***the "Ooo OH"  is the sound Conan makes while practicing Kendo.

  1. I absolutely LOVE this song. Dad as well. We cracked up listening to it. Very catchy tune... and the lyrics are terrific. And of course the "Ooo oh" is the perfect punctuation to the whole thing. Dad and I were wondering, is that an actual recording of his voice? And if so, how'd you get it so well? Love you! -Mompadoo

  2. One more thing... That linked page with people talking about Conan--is that, in fact, the same guy that lives next door to you? Or is this just coincidental? Love again, Momps
