The Water Buffalo Song
Superchic[k] Lyrics

And now it's time for Silly Songs with Superchic(k)
The introduction to the song segment.

The part of the show where Superchic(k) comes out and sings a silly song
Further introduction to the segment.

The Water Buffalo Song
Title of the silly song.

Everybody's got a water buffalo
A statement that everyone has a pet.

You know your's is fast but, mine is slow
Comparison of the speed of the pets.

Oh, where do we get them you ask
A rhetorical question referring to the manner of acquiring these pets.

I don't know
An answer to the rhetorical question.

But everybody's got a water buffalo
Reiteration of the earlier assertion.

Yeah that's right!
An added exclamation of affirmation.

We're gonna break it down like we used to
Statement indicating how the group will sing the song.

I wanna hear everybody singing 2,3,4
Strong encouragement for the audience to sing along.

I took my bullafo to the store
The singer telling a story about what they did with their pet, a buffalo.

I got his head stuck in the door
A detail about the story, the buffalo's head got stuck in the door of the store.

Spilled some lima beans on the floor
Another detail about what happened in the store when the buffalo's head was stuck in the door.

Look there's one!
Exclamation in response to the implication of seeing a water buffalo.

Nope, that's a dog
Clarification that what was pointed out earlier was actually just a dog.

Guys, guys, hold on
An appeal to the others to stop before saying something potentially controversial.

I don't think we should say everybody's got a water buffalo
Expression of a concern that not everybody really has a water buffalo as a pet.

When everyone ain't got no water buffalo.
Restatement of the concern that not everybody has such a pet.

Hey, we ain't even got no water buffalo!
A revelation that they themselves don't have a water buffalo.

I bet we're going to get nasty emails sayin': "Where's my water buffalo?"
Anticipation of complaints from listeners who would think that everyone should have such a pet.

"Why, I ain't got no water buffalo, Superchick!"
A probable example of a possible complaint that the group would receive.

Are you guys ready to deal with that?
A rhetorical question, hinting that they may not be.

I don't think so!
A clear statement that they aren't prepared for that kind of backlash.

Let's not do this song anymore!
A decision made by the group to discontinue the song.

Oh, that was good
A statement indicating that they appreciate the song's performance.

But I lost where I was going!
A realization that the song went off topic from its intended silly direction.

This has been Silly Songs
Closing statement for the Silly Song segment.

Tune in next time to hear Larry sing: Everybody's got a Kangaroo
An advertisement for the next episode, indicating that Larry would be performing.
