Welcome to Tally Hall

Welcome to Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum Known from coast to coast like butter and toast From headlines to bread lines From schoolrooms to pool rooms No other place in the contiguous United States Or other environs of the world, welcome [Verse 1: Rob Cantor] Can I get a T? ("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' (Yarrgh) W-W-T-H-D? We like to kick it at the university 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 1: Joe Hawley, Rob Cantor, Zubin Sedghi] We're in the mini-mall Working the carnival We like to play it all Welcome to Tally Hall [Verse 2: Zubin Sedghi, Joe Hawley, Marvin Yagoda] "Who's to blame?" The automated players, I proclaim Yellow tie, this suave 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, sippin' 'gnac can hear He's knockin' down the shots like Bill Laimbeer Send home the locksmith, Green's got keys To unlock the rock in the act if you please Now open the case, give Blue the bass And jiggle your badiggle all over the place [Chorus 1: Joe Hawley, Rob Cantor, Zubin Sedghi] We're in the mini-mall Working the carnival We like to play it all Welcome to Tally Hall We're in the mini-mall Working the carnival We like to play it all Welcome to Tally Hall [Verse 3: Joe Hawley with Zubin Sedghi] Can I get a click? Flick off the switch and we'll ignite the night in pitch Singin' songs you like to hear, and the world will disappear 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 The collectibles so delectable The unreliable style's undetectable! Like I might rap like an English chap Take you by the knickers and a bum you'll slap You didn't think we had the gall Well, bloody welcome to Tally Hall! [Bridge: Joe Hawley] We're stereosonic, we're animatronic We're rappin' with the robo-electronic ebonics A quick distraction, a mechanic attraction Got a penny in your pocket for the slot? (Rock!) [Pre-Chorus: Joe Hawley, Rob Cantor] Hey, ho, don't'cha know? It's a good old-fashioned puppet show! That's right, quite the set We're the marionette quintet [Chorus 2: Joe Hawley, Rob Cantor, Zubin Sedghi] We think we're playing in a band But we'd love to give you all a hand Woo! [Chorus 1: Joe Hawley, Rob Cantor, Zubin Sedghi] We're in the mini-mall Working the carnival We like to play it all Welcome to Tally Hall [Chorus 2: Joe Hawley, Rob Cantor, Zubin Sedghi] We think we're playing in a band But we'd love to give you all a hand We think we're playing in a band ("Yarrgh!") We'd love to give you all a hand We think we're playing in a band ("Ah!") We'd love to give you all a hand
