Sherman Lyrics

Lyric discussion by pittot 

Cover art for Sherman lyrics by Pinback

On the old Rocky and Bullwinkle show in the early 60's there was a segment with a genius dog named Mr. Peabody who adopted a boy named Sherman. To keep Sherman entertained and teach him history, Mr. Peabody invented a time travel machine called WABAC (way back). Don't know if this song title and the line about going way back relate to this because the rest of the song lyrics don't seem to have anything to do with it.
