Paroles: The Residents. Two Lips.

Oh, we have to buy a tulip
Yes, we have to buy a tulip
Oh, we have to buy a tulip
So we'll sell our home
We will sell our clothes
And we'll sell our shoes
Everything we own
We'll sell to you

My doctor bought a tulip
And my banker bought a tulip
And my lawyer bought a tulip
So I'll buy one, too
Maybe I'll buy ten
Maybe I'll buy more
All my friends scored
Tulips galore

YES! WE HAVE TO BUY!
NO! WE DON'T KNOW WHY!
YES! WE'LL BUY OR DIE!
YES! WE HAVE TO BUY!

NO! WE DON'T KNOW WHY!
YES! WE'LL BUY OR DIE!
NO! WE DON'T KNOW WHY!
YES! WE'LL BUY OR DIE!

Would you like to buy a tulip?
Would you like to buy a tulip?
Would you like to buy a tulip?
You can pick and choose
I have sold my wife
And my children, too
I have nothing but tulips to lose

YES! WE HAVE TO BUY!
NO! WE DON'T KNOW WHY!
YES! WE'LL BUY OR DIE!
