Kahimi Karie Lyrics


Good Morning World

Good Morning World was used for a cosmetics commercial in Japan.

The rap references 'How I Wrote Elastic Man' by The Fall, but in regard to Kahimi writing Elastic Girl.

The rap also references (and partially quotes) 'The Clapping Song' - Original lyric:
"Two-six-nine,
The goose drank wine,
The monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line.
The line broke,
The monkey got choked,
And they all went to heaven in a little row boat."

Most of the rest of the rap is an appropriation of children's rhymes.

Momus performs this track on 20 Vodka Jellies

Includes a sample from the Soft Machine track "So Boot If At All".

Good Morning World
(Momus)

Putting on my best face
Running with a suitcase
I'll lead you on a goose chase
Pretty as a trumpet girl

Follow my eyes. Follow my feeling
Follow my future wherever it's leading

Pretty as a trumpet
Pretty as a trumpet girl

Good morning world
It's so nice to be a beautiful girl
(it's so nice to be.. Beautiful girl)

Party like a wild thing
(be be be be be be)
In parties that go on and on
Shake it at a nightclub
(la la la la la la)
Disco till the crack of dawn

Follow your nose. Follow your feeling
Follow the weather wherever it's leading

Shake it like a trumpet girl
Rave it like a trumpet girl

Suffer in a basement
(pa pa pa pa pa pa)
Pretty like a trumpet girl
Swing in Acapulco
(cha cha cha cha cha cha)
Swinging in a changing world

Follow your eyes
Follow your feeling
Following the fever wherever it's leading

Glitter like a trumpet
I am the silver girl
I am so strange and sweet
I'm from another world
I'll pass you on the street
And then our eyes will meet

Liar liar pants on fire
Your mummy's in the kitchen with electric wire
Daddy in the living room with his god
They all get together around a lightning rod

Two six five, the goose drank wine
The monkey chewed tobacco by the danger sign
The line it broke, the monkey choked
And they all went to heaven in a little row boat
Yum yum bubble gum, the telephone wire
Liar liar pants on fire
How I wrote Elastic Girl, how I wrote Elastic Girl
Put some make up on your face
Make this world a better place

Good morning world
It's so nice to be beautiful
