Moonrock Mambo Lyrics by Yo La Tengo

Moonrock Mambo

Like a thumb in a rubber glove
Or a moonrock in the sky above
I'm thinking, could it be
I'm falling in love

Like a Chunky or a Charleston Chew
Like shoe crab soup or chicken stew
Like Cinderella's other shoe
I just want to be next to you
I wanna be, I wanna to be next to you
I wanna be, I wanna be next to you

Like a palindrome, or a friend indeed
Like wow, or Tara Key
It seems I always need remindin'
What a fool believes
Like Horton hearing a Who
Like everything old becoming new
Like looking out for number two
I just want to be next to you
I wanna be, I wanna to be next to you
Yeah, I wanna be, I wanna be next to you

Like Dr. Tom, like Mr. Met
Like Professor Frink, like a Chia pet
Like Eddie Bow, like Bob Levito??
Like Jill Talley, like Don Cheadle
I want to be next to you [x4]

Like eatin' ribs with Calvin Trillin
Like Timothy Carey in The Killing
Like Steve Coogan and Rebecca Front
Like Jefferson Airplane except no Grunt
