Put A Lid On It - Squirrel Nut Zippers (1996)

“Put A Lid On It,“ by The Squirrel Nut Zippers. Lyrics: Put a lid on it What’s that you say? Put a lid on it Oh man, no way Put a lid down on it, and everything will be all right. Put a lid on it Don’t hand me that Put a lid on it I’m all right, Jack Put a lid down on it, before somebody starts a fight. Say, every time I turn it loose you cats Come down and cook my goose When I start I just can’t stop But if you keep this up you’re gonna blow your top! Put a lid on it Too late this time Put a lid on it I’ve got to get what’s mine Put a lid down on it, and everything will be all right. Well, grab your drink and clear a space I think it’s time to torch this place Now the girl’s in overdrive But some of your pals want to stay alive! I’ll put a lid on it I’ll put a lid down on it Save it for another night “Put A Lid On It“ can be found on the 1996 Squirrel Nut Zippers album “Hot“ and features: James Mathus: Vocals, Guitar, Tenor Banjo, Piano; Tom Maxwell: Vocals, Guitar, Baritone Saxophone, Clarinet, Resonator, Chandelier; Ken Mosher: Guitar, Alto and Baritone Saxophone, Baritone Ukulele, Vocals; Chris Phillips: Contraption Kit, Percussion, Announcement; Don Raleigh: String Bass, Gong; Katharine Whalen: Vocals, Banjo, Baritone Ukulele; Clay Walker: Multimedia; Duke Heitger: Cornet; Andrew Bird: Violin
