Their name refers to Mary Mallon or "Typhoid Mary", the first known healthy carrier of typhoid fever in the United States, who infected 53 people with the disease as she continued to work as a cook while denying she had it.
In April 2011 a teaser was released on Rhymesayers Entertainment's Youtube channel entitled 'Are You Gonna Eat That?". The video had no further description and was in actuality a teaser for Hail Mary Mallon featuring the 3 members seated around a table. While Rob Sonic is stirring some noodles, Aesop exclaims "Are You Going To Eat That?", after which the 3 artists names are mentioned and the name of the group itself.

Hail Mary Mallon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cousin of the philly guts littering your plymouth (plymouth)
Bubble gum and duct tape holding in his innards (innards)
Outsides parched (parched), insides pickled, (pickled)
Flowed when he shoulda, (shoulda), ebbed or departed (parted)
Squarely in the byway of invaders painting targets (targets)
Black knights errant wading out into the harvest, (harvest)
Copper plated zinc, (zinc) compensated harlots, (harlots)
Mary wants the captain jacked and dragged to the bilge
Tethered to the weather vain and drained of his fill
Poured into cups, and drank once its chilled
Crazy fucking loon, bugs on his lips
Tugging on his handle bar mustache grips
Steiner full of shells and a belt full of clips
For the first, time he’s left off your list
Least sandbagged, (bagged), most unimpressed, (pressed)
Finger-nailed Creedmore walls in the flesh, (flesh)
Feed into the fabric of distraction and death, (death)
Statler alarmed, (larmed), waldorf upset (set)
Green moss chops (chops), dummy after dinner (dinner)
Bottle rockets soaring as little surrogate fingers, (fingers)
Draw claw marks across a permanent winter (winter)
Age-old husk, (husk), immature forever, (ever)
Run from the hounds, marking the wall
Mommy tattooed on the arm of the law
Maid milked drilled till the partridge appalled
More game got, cartridge installed
What’s on first? basses are warm
And all of them are mine and their faces deformed
Chin music played on the razors reward
P isn’t free, pay for the porn
Half great dane, (dane) half great depression (pression)
Tin can tail finding anarchy impressive (pressive)
Taught himself to rap and calibrate archaic weapons (weapons)
Wiz on the techs (techs), class pay attention, (tention)
Pocket knives theatre (theatre), mutiny houdini (dini)
Dissapear before appearing sorcery is easy (easy)
Might've picked the wrong week for cordially retreating, (treating)
Hang on to your fillings (fillings), organize your species, (species)
Red alert panic, hands on the deck
Motor mouth body shop canceled your check
East bound and up truck sample sex
Mouth full of miller handful of x
Skim from the top, undercut the take
Clubber lang the banker butter up the other 8
Wait for the beep leave your number and your name
And why it is you called, props or complaints?
Hail Mary Mallon's "Mailbox Baseball" is a highly chaotic and abstract poem that has a lot to do with themes such as violence, destruction, and absurdity. The song features a lot of abstract images and descriptions, with each line having little to no linear connection to the other. The opening verse paints a picture of a man, who's most likely been subjected to some form of violence, as he has duct tape holding in his innards and his insides are pickled. The second verse opens with the image of a pirate flag in someone's gill before moving on to a description of a crazy man with bugs on his lips and a belt full of clips walking away from a list he's been left off of.
