Four Seconds - Barenaked Ladies

Goes to show

It’s not what you know

(But) who you know

So’s, you know

I can go with the flow

Build my note

Then throw to snow

Before the show

Stay low

Play it on a Dobro

Oh, I tiptoe to and fro

From Ontario

My stereo’s blue like the rodeo

Growing like a freak show free throw

It’s just the intro

Keep dropping like dominoes

One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four

Now rewind

What’d you have in mind?

Could we unwind?

I’m fine

We can find a streamline

Recombine — intertwine

If I’m gonna headline

Tryin' to be moving all the behinds

Line to line

Try to shine

Redesigned — redefined

Keeping up the spellbind

Gotta make it worth the grind

Just in time to have another close encounter of the third kind

One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four

I’ve been away four years and a day

You’d be thinking I’d be lonely

But I’m out here to stay

Wouldn’t have it any other way

Oh flip, the light is turning orange

Coat ripped when I caught it in the door hinge

I slip when the lady in the four-inch

Bought it in a store in Germany

You wore it like a makeshift snowdrift

Had to get a gift

Saw the red shift rift

Gretta got an eyelift

Oh sure, that one’s obscure

Maybe piss-poor, but I had to take a little detour

I’ve been away four years and a day

You’d be thinking I’d be lonely

But I’m out here to stay

Wouldn’t have it any other way

One Mississippi

Two Mississippi

Three Mississippi

Four
