Lyrics

Curious
Curious
Curious Orange
Curious Orange
Curious Orange
Curious

They were Curious Orange
They were Kurious Oranj
They were Curious Orange
They were Kurious Oranj
( ..... they were Kurious Oranj)

P-P-P-P-Pained and intense men       ( ..... Curious Orange)
They were esquiring       ( ..... Kurious Oranj)

They were Curious Orange
They were Kurious Oranj       ( ..... they rode over peasants like you)

( ..... their horses loved them too)
They rode over peasants like you
They rode over peasants like you
And their horses loved them too       ( ..... Kurious Oranj)
And their horses loved them too

They were Kurious, Kurious, Kurious Oranj
Kurious, Kurious, Kurious Oranj

They built the world as we know it
All the systems you traverse
Rode slipshod over all dumbshits
They were Curious Orange
They were Kurious Oranj
They were Kurious Oranj

They freed the Blacks too
They built church in one day, man, Amish
They were Curious Orange
They were Kurious Oranj

Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba       ( ..... pained and intense men)
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba
Ba-brrrra ba ba-ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba
Curious Orange
Curious

Curious Orange
Curious Orange

They were Curious Orange
They were Kurious Oranj
They were Curious Orange
They were Kurious Oranj

Their clothes were cool
Paved way for atom bomb       ( ..... didn't know ..... )
They made the Jews go to school
( ..... they made Hitler laugh ..... )
They sent missionary girls to Arab states and the sun-baked men did drool!

They were Curious Orange
They were Kurious Oranj

They were Kurious, Kurious, Kurious Oranj
Kurious, Kurious, Kurious Oranj
They were Kurious Oranj
They were Kurious, Kurious, Kurious Oranj

They made Hitler laugh in pain
They turned Napoleon over and didn't know
They invented birth control
They were invulnerable to cool
( ..... they paved way for atom ..... )
They were Curious Orange
They were Kurious Oranj       ( ..... did drool!)

( ..... sent missionary girls to Arabs .....)
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba       ( ..... sun-baked men did drool!)
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba       ( ..... Kurious Oranj)
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba
Ba-brrrra ba ba-ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba
Curious Orange
Curious       ( ..... ba-brrrra ba ba-ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba)
Curious

They were Curious Orange
They were Kurious Oranj
They were Curious Orange
They were Kurious Oranj

( ..... they were beyond Ooobenblief ..... )
They were Kurious, Kurious, Kurious Oranj
Kurious, Kurious, Kurious Oranj

( ..... p-p-pains in the arse, man ..... )
They were primo efficient to the man       ( ..... they were inquiring)
They were Stuyvestant smoking
Beyond Ooobenblief
They were the Reformation spring       ( ..... their clothes were cool)
And everybody in the world       ( ..... invulnerable to cool)
Turned Reformation blue
( ..... and everybody in the world)       ( ..... invulnerable to cool)

( ..... and that they were inquiring ..... )
They were Curious Orange       ( ..... they were the Reformation spring)
They were Kurious Oranj       ( ..... Stuyvestant smoking)
They were Kurious, Kurious, Kurious Oranj
Kurious, Kurious, Kurious Oranj       ( ..... Kurious Oranj)
Kurious, Kurious, Kurious Oranj

They were positively deranjed       ( ..... Kurious Oranj)
And they were Kurious Oranj

Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba
Ba-brrrra ba ba-ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba
