From the recording The 1st Annual Martin Carlton Stunt Special Christmas Album
Lyrics
There’s a myth, allegory, fable, moral, legend, parable, lesson, saying, whatever…
2 heads are better than one, the one that’s second to none but then I’ll go you one better.
Not so very long ago, there’s a guy you may or may not know
He put the saying to the test and broke the frame of something so steadfast
But history books won’t tell the tale, the really-real, he went through hell, 2 may be better than one, but not really.
Two pair of gloves are perfect for a snowball fight
Wear two pair of gloves if you wanna get the surgery right.
Wear two pair of gloves when you’re sled riding with your love.
Use two pair of gloves getting tested for Chlamydia
But two pair of gloves don’t work when you’re jumping tree to tree.
Packin’ snowballs down for the battle ground, and the numbness sucks now your aim is off
Stave off infection with good protection, double the gloves reduce the body count
Drag the sled up the hill all day (keep pace) dead fingers try for second base (what a waste)
Keep your germs, germ-free so it never hurts to pee, the nurse should double-glove for free
Unless, of course, you’re jumping tree to tree.
CHORUS:
Hands too tight You won’t have the grip you’re gonna need
Hands too tight When you’re reaching out for the tree
Hands too tight You really can’t defy gravity
Hands too tight So you better take a tip from me
CHORUS:
I said two pair of gloves don’t work when you’re jumpin’ tree to tree. That’s right I said Two pair of glove don’t work when you’re jumping tree to tree.
