What are some of your favorite (amusing) lyrical phrases?

Busta Rhymes always cracks me up-

"Yo.. now check it out, yo
I keeps flows so ridiculous
Rhyme flow taste good like a handful of cherry licorice"
 
Most irritating one that used to get stuck in my head

Clouds in my Coffee

"You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you"

Well, wasn't it?
 
your phones off the hook, but your not-X

I`ll go walking in circles
While doubting the very ground beneath me
Trying to show unquestioning faith in everything-David Sylvian

Well I'll pass the bar on the way
To my dingy hotel room
I spent all my money
Been drinkin' since a half past noon
I'll wake there in the mornin'
Or maybe in the county jail
Times are hard getting harder
I'm born to lose and destined to fail-Social Distortion
 
"You should never hold a candle if you don't know where it's been" - Ian Dury.

"Every time me drive me car, Police a stop me superstar,
true me drive a Fiat and a Merc, say where me Lancia" - Smiley Culture.

"And don't forget the Joker" - Motorhead.

"This world has music, but you've gotta listen" - Average White Band.

Dominus vobiscum
Et cum spiritu tuo
Won't you eat my sleazy pancakes
Just for Saintly Alfonzo
They're so light and fluffy white
We'll raise a fortune by tonight
They're so light and fluffy brown
They're the finest in the town ...

Good morning your highness
Woo-ooo
I ate your snowshoes
Woo-ooo ...

Years ago my father used this John Lennon lyric in reference to the hygeine of one of my teenage sister's suitors:

"Hold him in your arms, yeah you can feel his disease."

On a related note, most of "Nanook Rubs It" is pretty amusing, too.

"I can't see..."
 
Had to go crazy to love you
Had to go down to the pit
Had to do time in the tower
Begging my crazy to quit

-- Leonard Cohen
 
Procol Harum (Lyrical Phrases)

All written by their lyricist, Keith Reid, and sung by Gary Brooker:

  • The mirror, on reflection, has climbed back upon the wall.
  • Weird goings-on at the County Jail - prisoners reading the sheriff's mail.
  • There’s too many women and not enough wine.
  • In the cellar lies my wife, in my wife there's a knife.
  • Above all else confusion reigns, and though I ask no-one explains.
  • Skip softly, my moonbeams, for I have heard tell that the stairs up to heaven lead straight down to hell.
  • The Devil came from Kansas - where he went to I can't say.
 
You're the Boss​

Brian: Oh, baby you're the boss.
Gwen: Oh baby, you know I like it when you're the boss.
Brian: You know I like it when you SAY that I'm the boss.


Gwen: Well then, maybe tonight...
I'll be the boss.
And tomorrow night...
I'll be the boss.

Brian Setzer Orchestra (with Gwen Stefani)​

Captain Beefheart also has a few zingers, albeit difficult to understand, @ times. (or @ all times?)
 
Now I lay me down to sleep
I'm prayin' lord, my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Someone made a big mistake.

Todd Rundgren -- When I Pray.
