Hatch Fever
Steam-Powered Giraffe Lyrics

There's a knock
Someone is at the door

Open the door
Let the person in

A human sized package
A package just the right size for a person

Rip through tape
Remove the tape quickly and forcefully

like butter
Smoothly and effortlessly

and cardboard
And the material the package is made of

like toast
Easily, just like making toast

No time for instructions
No need to waste time reading the instructions

the fire's diein′
The fire is running low or extinguishing

Two birds
Two things or tasks

one stone
Can be accomplished simultaneously

Fill the tank with water
Put water into the tank

Turn the ignition
Start the engine

and Hatchy Boy you're ready to go
And now the machine is ready to operate

Far
A great distance

Catch Hatch Fever!
Get excited and enthusiastic about Hatch Fever

There's a hole
There is an opening or gap

In your floor
In the floor of your space

We've got to
We need to

Patch it up
Repair or fix it

Give it a cover
Place something on top of it

A latch
A mechanism to keep it closed

A hinge
A joint to allow movement

And a turn wheel
A wheel to operate it

Well now you're talking Hatch Fever-oh!
Now you understand and are enthusiastic about Hatch Fever

What's the worth o’living
What is the value or meaning of life

if you can't make a living
If you are unable to earn an income

not living but
Existing without true purpose or fulfillment

faux living
Living a fake or artificial life

Is there a difference?
Is there a distinction between the two?

A fever's a fever
No matter the type, a fever remains the same

Come on everybody prepare to get catchy
Get ready to become infected or affected by Hatch Fever

Catch Hatch Fever!
Become enthusiastic and excited about Hatch Fever

Open your heart to me
Be open and receptive to the message of Hatch Fever

Come on everybody open up that chest cavity
Metaphorically, be receptive and vulnerable

Yeeeoh- Hatchworth that sounds a little morbid
Expressing concern over the previous lines

Kids! D-D-D-Don't try this at home!
A warning to not perform dangerous actions at home

If you took that last bit of advice
If you followed the previous warning

You gotta get to the emergency room
You should immediately seek medical help

We don't want you to leave so soon
We want you to stay alive and well

Follow instructions
Adhere to the given directions

And don't hurt birds
Be careful not to harm birds

And generally pair your nouns with verbs
In writing or speech, properly connect words

Study real hard
Put effort into learning

Eat your vitamin soup
Consume healthy and nutritious food

When all of that's finished prepare to catch
After completing those tasks, be ready to experience

Hatch disease
The state or condition of being influenced by Hatch Fever

(Laaaaaaaaaa, that sounds bad)
Reacting jokingly to the term 'Hatch disease'

It's not a real disease
Hatch disease is not an actual medical condition

But if it were on another world then
However, if it existed in a different reality

(Aaaaaaaahhh)
Expressing surprise or alarm

We're sorry
Apologizing for the hypothetical situation

We wouldn't wish it on anybody
We wouldn't want anyone to experience it

Unless it makes you stronger
Except if it has a positive effect on you

and live longer
And contributes to a longer lifespan

Well then that's just a good thing wouldn't you agree?
In that case, it would be considered beneficial, right?

But for now they're just words and a good time
However, at the moment they are only lyrics and entertainment

Come on everybody get down with the robots!
Let's all enjoy and engage with the robots' performance

There's not much left to tell which hasn't already been stated
There isn't more to say that hasn't already been said

Consider yourself ninety-nine point nine percent Hatchworth acclimated
You are almost completely familiar with Hatchworth's ways

Catch Hatch Fever!
Be enthusiastic and excited about Hatch Fever

That should about do it.
That should be enough or complete the task.
