Lyrics:
She's hiding from the yo-yo
It's a real no no
Life with Jo-Jo
A real no no no

He's feeling kind of low low
Thinks her life is go go
But it's so so slow

He's screaming for the dodo
He's a real pro
He'll stop and say hello

Sells electric ego
Slo-mo on the dildo
Life's a flow flow flow

But does he know know know?
Where did it go?

Oh no you're trying to make inpermanent things
Oh no you're trying to make inpermanent things
Oh no you're trying to make inpermanent things

La la lala la la la lala la laa
La la lala la la la lala la laa
La la lala la la la lala la laa
La la lala la la la lala la laa

Mumbo jumbo slow fellatio
Mumbo jumbo slow fellatio
Mumbo jumbo slow fellatio
Mello Hippo Disco Show!

Life's a flow flow flow
Life's a flow flow flow
Life's a flow flow flow
Life's a flow flow flow

Notes:
The more psychedelic of the two versions of
The Mello Hippo Disco Show, the more subtle Abbey Road version features a quirky organ solo in the middle, as featured in the initial track, Trying To Make Inpermanent Things Permanent, as well as a humorous cacophony of noise after the chorus. The track later appeared in two official released: firstly, Life's A Flow on the Mello Hippo EP, and Yo-Yo (Abbey Road Version) on The Otherness, whilst a quite different, more proggy mix of the song was released on The Isness as Mello Hippo. Very slight differences between the versions: the mix on The Otherness seques into Goodbye Sky, whilst the one on the Abbey Road Isness segues into Goodbye Sky (Reprise). The beginning of the EP version is part of a segue from The World's In Transience. The track was featured on the band's 'Psychedelic Manifesto' EPK video from 2001.
