One Week Lyrics By Barenaked Ladies

    it’s been one week since you looked at me
    cocked your head to the side and said i’m angry
    five days since you laughed at me saying
    get your act together come back and see me
    three days since the living room
    i realized it’s all my fault but couldn’t tell you
    yesterday you’d forgiven me
    but it’ll still be two days ’til i say i’m sorry

    ed robertson
    hold it now and watch the hoodwink
    as i make you stop think
    you’ll think you’re looking at aquaman
    i summon fish to the dish although i like the chalet swiss
    i like the sushi ’cause it’s never touched a frying pan
    hot like wasabi when i bust rhymes
    big like leann rimes because i’m all about value
    bert kaempfert’s got the mad hits
    you try to match wits you try to hold me but i bust through
    gonna make a break and take a fake
    i’d like a stinking aching shake
    i like vanilla it’s the finest of the flavours
    gotta see the show ’cause then you’ll know
    the vertigo is gonna grow
    ’cause it’s so dangerous you’ll have to sign a waiver

    pre
    how can i help it if i think you’re funny when you’re mad
    trying hard not to smile though i feel bad
    i’m the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
    can’t understand what i mean well you soon will
    i have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
    i have a history of taking off my shirt

    it’s been one week since you looked at me
    threw your arms in the air and said you’re crazy
    five days since you tackled me
    i’ve still got the rug burns on both my knees
    it’s been three days since the afternoon
    you realized it’s not my fault not a moment too soon
    yesterday you’d forgiven me
    and now i sit back and wait ’til you say you’re sorry

    ed robertson
    chickity china the chinese chicken
    you have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin’
    watching xfiles with no lights on
    we’re dans la maison
    i hope the smoking man’s in this one
    like harrison ford i’m getting frantic
    like sting i’m tantric
    like snickers guaranteed to satisfy
    like kurosawa i make mad films ‘kay i don’t make films
    but if i did they’d have a samurai
    gonna get a set of better clubs
    gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
    just so my irons aren’t always flying off the backswing
    gotta get in tune with sailor moon
    ’cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
    that make me think the wrong thing

    pre
    how can i help it if i think you’re funny when you’re mad
    trying hard not to smile though i feel bad
    i’m the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
    can’t understand what i mean you soon will
    i have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
    i have a history of losing my shirt

    it’s been one week since you looked at me
    dropped your arms to the sides and said i’m sorry
    five days since i laughed at you and said
    you just did just what i thought you were gonna do
    three days since the living room
    we realized we’re both to blame but what could we do
    yesterday you just smiled at me
    ’cause it’ll still be two days ’til we say we’re sorry

    it’ll still be two days ’til we say we’re sorry
    it’ll still be two days ’til we say wasabi
