Cornflake Girl Lyrics

Never was a cornflake girl
Thought that was a good solution
Hangin' with the raisin girls
She's gone to the other side
Givin' us a yo-heave-ho
Things are getting kind of gross
And I go at sleepy time
This is not really
This, a-this, a-this is not really happening

You bet your life it is
You bet your life it is
Oh, honey, you bet your life it's a
Peel out the watchword
Just peel out the watchword

She knows what's going on
Seems we got a cheaper feel now
All the sweet tears are gone
Gone to the other side
With my encyclopedia
They musta paid her a nice price
She's puttin' on her string bean love
This is not really
This, this, this is not really happening

You bet your life it is
You bet your life it is
Oh, honey, you bet your life it's a
Peel out the watchword
Just peel out the watchword

Never was a cornflake girl
Thought that was a good solution

Rabbit, where'd you put the keys, girl?
Rabbit, where'd you put the keys, girl? (Uh-huh)
Rabbit, where'd you put the keys? (Oh, yeah)
Rabbit, where'd you put the keys?
Where'd you put the keys, girl?

And the man with the golden gun
Thinks he knows so much
Thinks he knows so much, yeah
And the man with the golden gun
Thinks he knows so much
Thinks he knows so much, yeah
And the man with the golden gun
Thinks he knows so much
Thinks he knows so much, yeah
And the man with the golden gun
Thinks he knows so much
Thinks he knows so much, yeah, yeah

Rabbit, where'd you put the keys, girl? (Oh, yes)
Rabbit, where'd you put the keys, girl? (Oh, this time)
Rabbit, where'd you put the keys? (Oh, yeah)
Rabbit, where'd you put the keys, girl?

The "Cornflake Girl" is seen as conformist, while the 'raisin girls' represent those who dare to be different. The recurring phrase "this is not really happening" reflects denial or disbelief in confronting harsh realities.
