Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"Taipan"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: If the heat don't get you,taipan will
Six o'clock, the whistle sings CSR is the sugarcane king Why They're Nonsensical: WTF does CSR being 'the sugarcane king' have to do with the rest of the song? It sounds like Don couldn't come up with a line to rhyme with 'sings', so he just wrote something completely vaguely connected with the subject of the song.
