D For Doorknob

"**D For Doorknob**" (also known as "**D Is For Doorknob**") is a song by the fabulous Miss Peggy Honeydew with Residents, Uninc..

Co-written by N. Senada with the group's former collaborator Roland Sheehan, "D For Doorknob" was included as part of the suite "Hallowed Be Thy Wean 1971" on the group's *B.S.* demo tape.

A live recording of the song (from the Boarding House performance in October of the same year) was included in 2012 on the *ERA B474* compilation.

## Lyrics

```
Go fuck yourself on a doorknob, mom
In a moldy auditorium
They'll find you hanging upside down
With your glasses goin' round and round
(And round and round and round and round)

```

```
(You're not gettin' any dad
It's so, so so sad
You're not gettin' any dad
It's so, so so sad, so sad)

```

```
Go fuck yourself on a doorknob, mom
In a moldy auditorium
They'll find you hanging upside down
With your glasses goin' round and round
(And round and round and round and round)

```

```
And full of eyes and full of swizzle
And don't get caught out in the drizzle
'Cause I love you, 'cause I love you
Cause I love you so
(We love, we love, we love you so)

```
