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

Comments/Interpretations
I think this song is about chicken poop.
TOTALLY.
I love this song, it has a great beat and is so great to dance to. Everytime I here I get crazy. I love They Might Be Giants. They are awesome.
I want you sarah. We can dance to teh TMBG for eternity.
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
I love this song! I also LOVE They might be giants they are the best, they're soo funny!
If you don't like their music, you have no sense of humor!
:):)
This song isn't about anything. It's about how ridiculous life is.
im pretty sure this song is about willy wonka
I got an old they might be giants CD form my brother.i heard this song and got hooked on they might be giants
The video is frikin amazing as well. I wish I was back in the 80's!
I could listen to this song, "'Til My Head Falls Off."
In reply to emalinechildren, I'm not sure they were ever trying to be a novelty group. They seem to be on the route Ray Stevens took, trying to be serious musicians but considered comedic.
The major difference I can see is that Ray Stevens just went with the image and ran with it while TMBG decided to eschew the comedy classification and stuck with alternative.
this song is not about a prostitute. its simply about a guy in love with a girl who is more flighty than he is and is used to moving on from relationship to relationship.
DUH
Clearly, it's about breaking into a saftey deposit box or a bank, and replacing the money with cat food.
o wate.
Sam I love it.
I think Dan @ 20090726 is dead on about what the song's about.
I saw them in 1990 live in San Diego, CA and have the t shirt to prove it
it's definitely about a guy who realizes the girl he likes just hurts him emotionally by being who she is.
they probably had a brief relationship that ended up hurting him more than it pleased either one of them.
the song itself seems to capture his realization that the relationship is doomed.
I love TMBG, they are the greatest band in the universe. I am so glad that I know them. I LOVE YOU TMBG!!!
This song is kinda out there.
its great
love this song,the meaning varies depending on perspective.
You're all wrong. It's about not let's starting.
HAHAHA, DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS.
It's about not let's starting.
Yes, LeakyFlask number 1 wins the game!!
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!!! ;)
I love this song. Thank you They Might Be Giants for making the song.
Fantastic song and video. They might be giants ROCK!
This song is 100% about the START nuclear arms agreement/ initiative. No question about it.
I always thought this song was about the relationship between father and daughter, but what do I know??
The words in this song make absolutely no sense at all and that is beautiful. :o)
I think it's about a father and an unreasonable teenaged daughter. The dad wants her to calm down and all she wants to do is rebel against him. The refrain is him trying to calm her down and the rest is her rebeling by pointing out lifes strangeness.
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.
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite part is the "wake up, smell the cat food in your bank account!"
So. Totally. Funny
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! :-)))
TMBG's best know song, but not the funniest. They call me Doctor Worm when I'm not Building a Birdhouse.
YOU EITHER SPEAK TMBG OR IT SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN RECORD
It's about a guy who fell in love with a girl who insists he leave his family for her. She's done it before and thinks it should either be no problem for him, or that he's merely toying with her, putting him on the spot by making him think about it.
D world destruction,
Over and overture,
N do I need
Apostrophe T need this torture?
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.)
