Smells Like Nirvana Lyrics By Weird Al Yankovic

    what is this song all about
    can’t figure any lyrics out
    how do the words to it go
    i wish you’d tell me i don’t know

    pre
    don’t know don’t know don’t know oh no
    don’t know don’t know don’t know

    now i’m mumblin’ and i’m screamin’
    and i don’t know what i’m singin’
    crank the volume ears are bleedin’
    i still don’t know what i’m singin’
    we’re so loud and incoherent
    boy this oughta bug your parents
    yeah
    blergh
    haai

    it’s unintelligible
    i just can’t get it through my skull
    it’s hard to bargle nawdle zouss
    with all these marbles in my mouth

    pre
    don’t know don’t know don’t know oh no
    don’t know don’t know don’t know

    well we don’t sound like madonna
    here we are now we’re nirvana
    sing distinctly we don’t wanna
    buy our album we’re nirvana
    a garage band from seattle
    well it sure beats raisin’ cattle
    yeah

    and i forgot the next verse
    oh well i guess it pays to rehearse
    the lyric sheet’s so hard to find
    what are the words oh never mind

    pre
    don’t know don’t know don’t know oh no
    don’t know don’t know don’t know

    well i’m yellin’ and we’re playin’
    but i don’t know what i’m sayin’
    what’s the message i’m conveyin’
    can you tell me what i’m sayin’
    so have you got some idea
    didn’t think so well i’ll see ya

    sayonara sayonara
    ayonawa hodinawa
    odinaya yodinaya
    yaddayadda yaaahyaaah
    ayiyaaaaaah
