great lyrics

What are the silliest lyrics people have heard in a song. Cheney Hawkes singing "no one can be myself like i can/for this job i'm the best man" on The One and Only tops my list

[Aschenbach]

MacArthur Park by Richard Harris

Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again

All the more silly with the full blown orchestra.

"Take your seaside arms and write the next line"  from 'True' by Spandau Ballet takes some beating. 

'seaside arms' ?, what's all that about !

..I messed my pants

when we flew over France...

Airhostess by Busted...class....

..or how about Snap's line from Rhythm is a Dancer...

"I'm serious as cancer when I say
Rhythm is a dancer"

It's gotta be life by Des'ree

I don't want to see a ghost,
it's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast and
watch the evening news

Think Des'ree's smoking pot there!

Toto's Africa has a tortured line which goes something like " Kilimanjaro rising like a lepus over the Serengeti". I'd like a pint of what they were drinking when they wrote that one.
