lyrics

Martin Luther King fights crime on the surface of the Sun with Karl Marx
Louis Riel casts a spell and gains control of great white sharks
Albert Einstein fires a rocket into Rockefeller's face
FDR defeats Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in a race

Chorus:
Horses and gasoline, apple juice and Vaseline
White-Out and mice, concrete and rice
Sewage and Styrofoam, acorns and microphones
Olives and ice, lava and lice

Malcolm X and Sitting Bull riding on a moose with Howard Zinn
Charles Darwin and his dog begrudgingly agree to have lunch with Ho Chi Minh
Ada Lovelace rides a unicycle and tells Mitochondrial Eve to watch
Sacagawea and Jimi Hendrix pouring shots of 40 year old scotch
Ceausescu gets a tapeworm from some undercooked roast beef
Frida Kahlo cuts a snowflake in a slice of bologna with her teeth

A dog named Worm, and a cat named Stove
A car named Angus, and the van that that car drove

Marie Curie as a kid, except she has a chicken's beak
Gandhi and Genghis Khan stay at home and watch 'Twin Peaks'
Joe Stalin and his wife bake zucchini bread in Hell
King Louis XIV touching wieners in a cave with H.G. Wells
