don't be a lemming polka

i pin myself against the walls

stationed like a horse in stall

just wishing

they might call me art

there i hung in the hall

collecting dust

that's all

it's all i needed to do

while in the corner

quite a size

he sits talking

whiskey-wise

hopin' to throw me off

but no matter how he tries

i'll just look him in the eyes

it's all i need to do

that's all it took to see

i was wastin' time

it's all it took to see

i was walkin' the line

i'm going to ride high as can be

i look behind

and see them followin' me

so my friends don't delay

unless of course

you'd rather stay

lemming heads for the cliff

found them up

they're going astray

take the lead take the way

that's all that we need to do

that's all it took to see

i was wastin' time

it's all it took to see

i was walkin' the line

i'm going to ride high as can be

i look behind

and see them followin' me

i'm going to ride high as can be

i look behind

and see them followin' me
