History
Originally from the Welcome To Tally Hall (EP) and included on Complete Demos. When moved to MMMM, there were some slight word changes, such as "homophonic" to "heterophonic." The intro and outro are new as well as the opening notes of the song which were originally not NES-sounding.

Lyrics
Welcome To Tally Hall Joe Hawley/Rob Cantor/Zubin Sedghi Can I get a T? And if you hit me with the A-L-L-Y Then you'd see why The Hall is here for y'all The mini mall is calling us all in So kids Pack up your mom's car Back up the Windstar Kick it in drive and arrive At the mega mart Slide the side hatch with pride 'cause your ties match On booty duty like your name was Eddie Thatch WWTHD? We like to kick it at the univesity But all work and no play makes us crazy So we jump in the bumping SUV Hit the street get the sweet tunes on Do a donut on your mama's front lawn And sooner than you know You've found the rock 'n' roll show At the Tizzy Hizzy we'll be gone [Chorus]: Were in the mini-mall Working the carnival We like to play it all Welcome to Tally Hall Who's to blame? The automated players, I proclaim Yellow tie the sauve fellow writes Heterophonic tunes of how love bites Red the proud loud guy we adore Is my amp too high? No, turn it up more So Grey in the back sipping 'gnac can hear He's knocking down the shots like Bill Laimbeer Send home the locksmith: Greens got the keys To unlock the rock in the act, if you please Now open the case Give Blue the bass And jiggle your boodiggle all over the place [Chorus] x 2 Can I get a click? Flick off of the switch And we'll ignite the night in pitch Singing songs you like to hear And the world will dissapear Then we'll be glowing in the dark Lighting up the park Revealing that the Hall is the place that aims to please With unpredictable games and antiquities They're collectibles so delectable The unreliable style's undetectable Like I might rap like an English chap Take you by the knickers and I'll bum your slap You didn't think we had the gall Well bloody welcome to Tally Hall We're stereosonic We're animatronic We're rapping with the robo-electronic Ebonics A quick distraction A mechanic attraction Got a penny in your pocket for the slot Rock Hey ho don't you know It's a good old-fashioned puppet show That's right, quite the set We're the marionette quintet We think were playing in a band But we'd love to give you all a hand [Chorus] We think were playing in a band But we'd love to give you all a hand
