Don't Let's Start Lyrics

Artist: They Might Be Giants
Album: Then-The Earlier Years

Don't don't don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you're my precious little girl
But don't don't don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around how you get around

When you are alone you are the cat, you are the phone
You are an animal
The words I'm singing now
Mean nothing more than meow to an animal
Wake up and smell the cat food in your bank account
But don't try to stop the tail that wags the hound

D, world destruction
Over and overture
N, do I need
Apostrophe T, need this torture?

Don't don't don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you're my precious little girl
But don't don't don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around how you get around

No one in the world ever gets what they want and that is beautiful
Everybody dies frustrated and sad and that is beautiful
They want what they're not and I wish they would stop saying,
Deputy dog dog a ding dang depadepa
Deputy dog dog a ding dang depadepa

D, world destruction
Over and overture
N, do I need
Apostrophe T, need this torture?

Don't don't don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you're my precious little girl
But don't don't don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around how you get around

I don't want to live in this world anymore
I don't want to live in this world

Don't don't don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you're my precious little girl
But don't don't don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around how you get around

This is a song about a guy who is fascinated by a prostitute. First, he compares her to an animal, then he relates her to how the world is terrible.

lyrics are wrong

by wwtmbgd on 1/28/2009 12:59am
This song isn't about anything. It's about how ridiculous life is.

by kjshover on 3/29/2009 7:23pm

by TechTanTank on 1/5/2011 11:58am
love this song,the meaning varies depending on perspective.

by LeakyFlask on 4/6/2011 2:09am
You're all wrong. It's about not let's starting.

by LeakyFlask on 4/25/2011 10:39pm
HAHAHA, DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS.

by zombie survivor on 7/6/2011 5:28am
It is truly a profound song. None of u would have realized that its about a guy surviving a zombie apocolypse and doesn't want to talk to any of his friends while they are zombified because it makes him too emotional. Plus, they ate his favorite cat. In the end, though, he has to slowly succumb to that fate. OBVIOUSLY!!! ;)

by Destine Roar on 10/29/2011 10:12pm
I love this song. Thank you They Might Be Giants for making the song.

by HelloHello on 12/2/2011 9:45am
Fantastic song and video. They might be giants ROCK!

by mrbig356@sbcglobal.net on 2/3/2012 3:53pm
This song is 100% about the START nuclear arms agreement/ initiative. No question about it.

by InsertNameHere on 3/12/2012 12:16am
I always thought this song was about the relationship between father and daughter, but what do I know??

by Danno on 6/20/2012 12:27pm
The words in this song make absolutely no sense at all and that is beautiful. :o)

by A BOMB on 9/10/2012 10:31am
Saw the girl I love in the arms of a different man for the five hundredth. I totally did not want to live on Earth anymore. I would be depressed but this song snapped me right out of it. BEST SONG EVER.

by Peaceout on 10/21/2012 1:37am
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite part is the "wake up, smell the cat food in your bank account!"

by Alex on 12/6/2012 11:06pm
So. Totally. Funny

by arf on 2/2/2013 4:34pm
I can't believe how funny everyone is on here, all doing different variations of the joke of what this song is about. very clever! :-)))

by Blue Canary on 5/6/2013 11:47am
TMBG's best know song, but not the funniest. They call me Doctor Worm when I'm not Building a Birdhouse.

by D14NANC on 10/1/2013 7:08pm
YOU EITHER SPEAK TMBG OR IT SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN RECORD

But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are too strong for us. So they gave to the sons of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, The land through which we have gone, in spying it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants; and all the people we saw in it are men of great size. And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we became like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight. - Numbers 13:31-33 (in other words, don't let's start, they might be giants.)
