The absurdist lyrics of “Five in the Nave” are delivered in an impression of the 1940s comedian Jimmy Durante, probably best known to modern listeners as the narrator of the cartoon “Frosty the Snowman.”
[Verse]
Ah-cha-cha-cha-cha
I've got a million of 'em
I've got a million of 'em
Five in the nave
Five in the nave
Slowly I turn
Step by step
Inch by inch
I grabbed one of 'em
I knocked another one down
And another one came round back of me
I held 'em by the throat
Ah, he pulled a knife on me
Pulled 'em on in
Oh, five in the nave
Down on the ground, there they were
Good night, America
And all the ships that sail the sea
Ah-cha-cha-cha, hahahaha
I've got a million of 'em
