They Might Be Giants - Metal Detector Lyrics
Down at the shore theres a place where theres no one vacationingTheres just the sound of the call of the wild overcoming the fear of the unknownAnd Ive got something to help you understandSomething waiting there beneath the sandMy metal detectorIs with me all of the timeIm the inspector over the mineLook past the volleyball (look past the ball)Look past the squawking gull (look past the gull)Ignore the mountain of discarded falderalcause Ive got something to make you understandSomething hidden there underneath the landMy metal detectorIs with me all of the timeIm the inspector over the mineMetal detector, watch it shineEvery seashell has a story to tell if youre listeningBut underneath every shell theres a story as well if youve heard enough of the seaThen everything on the top will just suddenly stop seeming interestingSo listen now to the sound of the things that are found undergroundDont need no volleyball (dont need no volleyball)Dont need no squawking gull (dont need no squawking gull)Dont need to look at any bathing beauty doll (dont need to look at any doll)For Ive got something to help you understandSomething waiting there beneath the sandMy metal detectorIs with me all of the timeIm the inspector over the mineLook past the volleyball (look past the ball)Look past the squawking gull (look past the gull)Ignore the mountain of discarded falderalcause Ive got something to make you understandSomething hidden there underneath the landMy metal detectorIs with me all of the timeIm the inspector over the mineMetal detector, watch it shineDont need no volleyball (dont need no volleyball)Dont need no squawking gull (dont need no squawking gull)Metal detector, all the time (metal detector all the time)
