about

The title came from my bandmate's misreading of "We Want Rey" on a set list. Why not embrace the spirit of the walrus?

lyrics

Hanging with my friends at the coffee place
Bored beyond belief by the human race
Sandy said that maybe we should read a book
Then something started stirring in the sitting nook

No one can believe what is before their eyes
A sneaker-wearing walrus of enormous size
Before we can protest we’re hustled out the door
Onto a bus that we had never seen before

Get yourself ready it’s Walrus Roy
The world’s original party boy
Looking mighty sharp in his corduroy
It’s time to have a really good time
With Walrus Roy

He drove us to the playground at the middle school
At first we thought it must have been an April Fool
Cause who did we see standing up against the wall?
The Lakers for a pickup game of basketball

Playing with the pandas at the petting zoo
Asking our barista for an interview
Putting plaid pajamas on the modern art
Building tilting towers till they fall apart

Get yourself ready it’s Walrus Roy
The world’s original party boy
Coming with ideas that you’ll enjoy
It’s time to have a really good time
With Walrus Roy

Portia asked him questions tryin to figure out
What this walrus party really was about
She asked him “How do you appear just like a ghost?”
The walrus said “I go where I am needed most”

We went to karaoke and ate Chinese food
Then ran into the rain cause we were in the mood
The sun came out and suddenly our friend was gone
Like a supernatural phenomenon

Get yourself ready it’s Walrus Roy
The world’s original party boy
Stomping on the troubles of the hoi polloi
It’s time to have a really good time
With Walrus Roy

We looked around in vain for Walrus Roy until
Somebody pointed out that he was with us still
You may not get a visit but I’m sure you’ll see
The spirit of the walrus is in you and me

Get yourself ready it’s Walrus Roy
The world’s original party boy
Come on hitch your wagon to the real McCoy
It’s time to have a really good time
“it’s unforgettable!”
It’s time to have a really good time
“it’s not regrettable!”
It’s time to have a really good time
With Walrus Roy
