Wilco

Wilco is an American alternative rock band based in Chicago, Illinois. The band was formed in 1994 by the remaining members of alternative country group Uncle Tupelo following singer Jay Farrar's departure. Wilco's lineup has changed frequently, with only singer Jeff Tweedy and bassist John Stirratt remaining from the original incarnation. Since early 2004, the other current members are guitarist Nels Cline, multi-instrumentalists Pat Sansone and Mikael Jorgensen, and drummer Glenn Kotche. Wilco has released eight studio albums, a live double album, and four collaborations: three with Billy Bragg, and one with The Minus 5. Some of their albums include A.M, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and A Ghost is Born.

Well, he had them, sixteen supervillains,
Sheherezade had a one thousand stories
But, master, you in luck 'cause up your sleeves
You got a brand of potion never fails
You got some superpowers in your corner now
Some heavy ammunition in your campfire
You got some (punch, pizazz, yahoo) and how
All you gotta do is hatch that egg
And I'll say
Mister Nori, sir
What will your pleasure be?
Let me take your order
Jot it down
You ain't never had a penguin like me
No no no
Life is your restaurant
And I'm your waiter
C'mon whisper what it is you want
You ain't never had a penguin like me
Yes, siree, we pride ourselves on service
You're the boss, the king, the shah
Say what you wish, it's yours!
True dish, how about a little more baklava?
Have some of column A
Try all of column B
I'm in the mood to help you though
You ain't never had a penguin like me
Can your penguins do this?
Can your penguins do that?
Can your penguins pull this out their little hat?
Can your penguins go, poof!
So don't ya sit there slack-jawed, buggy-eyed
I'm here to answer all your midday prayers
You got me bona fide and certified
You got a penguin for your charge d'affaires
I got superpowers to urge to help you out
So whatcha wish? I really wanna know
You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt
Well, all you gotta do is hatch like so oh oh
Mister Nori, the sir, have a wish or two or three
I'm on the job, you big nabob
You ain't never had a penguin, never had a penguin
You ain't never had a penguin, never had a penguin
You ain't never (never) had (had) a penguin like me
You ain't never had a penguin like me
