[Verse 1]
The sand ate my bandana / My favorite one with the skulls
I looked for it for an hour / Kicked a lot of gulls
I dug a hole to China / Or where the ocean used to be
Didn't find my bandana / But I found a femur (cool!)
[Chorus]
So I took yours instead / Thanks, pal
You weren't using it / You looked like a ghoul
Now my head's protected / From the sun and the drool
The sand ate my bandana / But your skull looks cool
[Verse 2]
I had a nice collection / Twenty-seven skulls and three
But the bandana was the centerpiece / Now it's history
I tried to ask the dust where it went / The dust just laughed
So I took your bandana / And I took your other half (the skull)
[Chorus]
So I took yours instead / Thanks, pal
You weren't using it / You looked like a ghoul
Now my head's protected / From the sun and the drool
The sand ate my bandana / But your skull looks cool
[Guitar solo] – [Kazoo played through a fuzz pedal. Yes, really. Eight bars.]
[Outro - sung with a grin]
Sand in my teeth / Dust in my eyes
Lost my bandana / Took a prize
If you see it out there / Tell it I said bye
And tell its new owner / I'm watching them die
