I've been listening to this for several days and here is what I have for the lyrics. A few differences from above, especially the last verse. Sweet baby Jesus on fire I’ma need a damn lawyer and a miracle to pull my ass outta this Devil kept poking the bull, so I shipped her ass to Mozambique 'Cause I was over it Shoulda dumped my gat into the Verde But what if she’s a zombie or a Dracula, I better hang onto this Lordy, with my hand upon the bible, swear I shot the damn devil, not a bitch, But the popo don’t give a shit Lordy, won’t you show a little mercy, I’ve been on the straight and narrow since the judge and the warden done parole me Rat poison, devil kept poking, so I shipped her ass to Mozambique 'Cause I was over it I lost my head a bit Please get me outta this Goddamn judge found me guilty of public intoxication Public urination and parole violation, but the CSI couldn’t find the body to corroborate my bullshit story Sweet Jesus don't let the judge release me now What if she’s a zombie or a Dracula and tries to f***ing eat me? Devil walked away from a bangin’ trip to Mozambique Help me outta this Help me outta this Help me outta this Help me outta this I think Penguinchao has the basic meaning correct. Mozambique seems to be slang for shooting someone twice in the chest and once in the head (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Mozambique). He never says he killed her, though, just shot her. Also the rat poison could mean he tried to poison her first, but she "kept pokin" so then he shot her. That last verse says she "walked away", so I think he shot her three times but can't find the body. Which means either his story is bullshit or she's the walking dead. |

Nicely done, Penguinchao! He definitely killed her. Check out the Urban Dictionary entry on Mozambique: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Mozambique |

| Tool – Jambi Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I saw Danny Carey do a drum clinic in Kansas City recently. He talked about how he creates chants to help him keep time in Tool's complex polyrhythms. He said when he heard Justin's bassline for this song, the chant he came up with was "Mekka Lekka Hi Mekka Hiney Ho". This is the same chant the genie Jambi says in Pee-wee's Playhouse to make Pee-wee's wishes come true. Maynard thought it was funny so he named the song "Jambi". That much Danny said pretty much straight up. My own interpretation of that story is that the title of the track is not related to the lyrics. However, Danny didn't say whether the lyrics were related to the title or whether they were written before or after the title was chosen. I know from previous interviews with Maynard that Tool writes the music first and then he adds the lyrics, so it could still be true that the bass track inspired the title which in turn inspired Maynard to write lyrics about making wishes. I don't think that's the case, though. |
