Hail Mary Mallon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ollie on a dime, golly what a leap
Posse in effect, poppy in his tea
Dotty I'm a rebel, cut away the pattern
Coffee on the dash, Muppets Take Manhattan
Circulate the pest, faded corpse paint
Old tanuki suit, Gang of Four tape
Gold Bazooka Tooth, eerie audio
Don't go in the light, here's Bobby, go

Platinum half a ton, milli magnum



Silly, rabid, dumb, trick the pinky ring
Campers, pack a gun, run you ragged from
Trouble as it comes, Mr. fifty winks
City bully brawl, if he could he'd call
Whitney's wooden hall home for holiday
Lizzy, thinning hair, is he sitting there
Dizzy pigeon stare, shit is commonplace

Happy to be on the food chain at all
Happy to be on the food chain at all
Happy to be on the food chain at all
Happy to be on the food chain at all

Appetite of ten, hoodie on his mop
Racing RC Cars, rubicon across
Baby, party hard, copy, understood
How are you today? Jolly fucking good
Treading water in a dying industry
Covering his face, hiding in the wings
Born to hammer nails, bang a leader up
Die anonymous, face the Beelzebub

Razor on the edge, pray you stop instead
Save your honest men money's medicine
Let your flag fly, rep your half pride
Temper's bad, implied once he's jettisoned
Get him to the Greek, I bet he wouldn't eat
Heavy pudding cream sitting on a dock
Feather, hair and beard, whether they appeared
Never shed a tear, shit is none o'clock

Happy to be on the food chain at all
Happy to be on the food chain at all
Happy to be on the food chain at all
Happy to be on the food chain at all

Circling a drain, eye a lion's share
Fighting evil art, lions, tigers, bears
Violent sea of sharks, baddies vaporize
Do not stare into the glassy manga eyes
Gangly overbite, city folk amok
Taketh no shits, giveth no fucks
Little green men, pull a killer card
Fire in the sky, vultures in the yard

Autodiner blitz, borders on the fritz
Mortars, comets, sticks, stone a minor threat
Pour the pot of piss, sorting on a whiff
War of opposite and open sinuses
Time release remain, I can see the rain
Why believe in vain, climb the Benny Hill
Live, at least today, spy the thief invade
Find the cheapest way to cry when Kenny's killed

Happy to be on the food chain at all
Happy to be on the food chain at all
Happy to be on the food chain at all
Happy to be on the food chain at all

Overall Meaning

The song "Dollywood" by Hail Mary Mallon is a lyrical journey through a series of seemingly disconnected images and ideas. The lyrics describe a world where strange and surreal events unfold, where Ollie performs impossible feats of acrobatics, where poppy tea is consumed by the posse, and where Muppets Take Manhattan, while a Gang of Four tape plays in the background. The lyrics are filled with strange references and games with language, such as the use of "faded corpse paint" and "eerie audio."


The song's chorus, "Happy to be on the food chain at all," is a reminder of the fragile and fleeting nature of life. The song seems to suggest that in a world where arbitrary and bizarre events occur, it is best to embrace the absurdity of life and be grateful for the experience. While the lyrics may be difficult to interpret or understand, the song's overall message is one of appreciation for the strange and wonderful experiences that life has to offer.
