The Lyrics
You don't have to go down
To the underworld with the doomed dead
To find folks you don't like;
All you gotta do's look over the hedge.
These others will make you pine (make you pine)
For relief from a full-blast gas line.
That's because hell is other
People, as observed Jean-Paul Sartre.
Hell is other,
Hell, hell is other [6x]
Hell is other people,
As noted by Sartre.
I have got a ruined life
'cause my neighbor's Satan's handyman
(Tools' borrower).
And his ruthless, couthless wife
Spilled some beet soup on my new white divan
(Fool! Just bought it!).
The others gossip and spy (talk and spy);
That's just two of the many reason why
You'll find that hell is other
People, per existential Sartre.
Hell is other,
Hell, hell is other [6x]
Hell is other people,
As noted by Sartre.
To the underworld with the doomed dead
To find folks you don't like;
All you gotta do's look over the hedge.
These others will make you pine (make you pine)
For relief from a full-blast gas line.
That's because hell is other
People, as observed Jean-Paul Sartre.
Hell is other,
Hell, hell is other [6x]
Hell is other people,
As noted by Sartre.
I have got a ruined life
'cause my neighbor's Satan's handyman
(Tools' borrower).
And his ruthless, couthless wife
Spilled some beet soup on my new white divan
(Fool! Just bought it!).
The others gossip and spy (talk and spy);
That's just two of the many reason why
You'll find that hell is other
People, per existential Sartre.
Hell is other,
Hell, hell is other [6x]
Hell is other people,
As noted by Sartre.

I agree. There's nobody worse than people. :-)
jaunty songs about hell are always amusing
I coulda said that "hell is other people" but with a name like Jean Paul Sarte, he had to be famous. 555
Excellent stuff, John. I just got back from dinner out, and on the way back I had to actually get out of the car and tell the lady in front of me to pull foward so she would trip the effing light. People are okay, except when they visit VA. Other people's kids... 5s.
Thanks, Rex, Alvin, Yoidy, Red Ant.
Very scholarly... I like it... :)
