lyrics

Imagine if you will
Six lucky passengers
Waiting in Guayaquil
For the nature cruise of the century

Not unlike Gilligan
Our sea-faring friends
Were about to begin again
Where the nature cruise found it’s end

Who needs opposable thumbs
Who says you need hands to win
According to Mr Vonnegut
The future’s all flippers and fins

A tale told by a ghost
Who used to talk in his sleep
He wouldn’t ever
write Beethoven’s 9th Symphony

Leon Trout the headless narrator
Sails the seas with
Our hapless sailors
For two million years just because he’s curious

Who needs opposable thumbs
Who says you need hands to win
According to Mr Vonnegut
The future’s all flippers and fins

Welcome to the future
I hope you like fish!

about

The Bushwick Book Club Brooklyn, New York

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
