lyrics

There comes a time in every long term relationship
When a question arises that you've gotta get off your ch-ch-chest

I need to learn from someone
About how two become one, ohh
One way, it all links together
But you pull the other way
And it makes it all split up.
What?

I don’t know how a zip works, baby, do you?
It confuses me
What’s the method that can link two edges of plastic?
When I try myself I can’t make them intersect.
It’s been on my mind lately, so baby,
Do you know how a zip works?

You always let your obsessive nature get the better of you, no I don’t, yes you do.
I think you’ll find from these excel spreadsheets that is clearly untrue
(look how low my average is!)

It’s not a complex issue
Look sit down here I’ll show you, ohhh,
You link both the ends in the retainer
Then you pull the slider and it… just kind of...

(Horror realisation)

I don’t know how a zip works, how does it fuse?
Is it glue?
How do two tiny tooth rows tether the fabric?
Oh god, I fear this dark and powerful magic.
Don’t you find it kind of creepy that baby,
No one knows how a zip works?

Oooh, no one at CERN can answer this thing (we should take all their funding away)
(someone looking like they are explaining very clearly, smashing the board to the floor angrily)
Oooh, and there are no answers on Google or Bing (Who even uses Bing anyway)
I’m praying to god, and deep in my thoughts
I think I can make out a whispered response:

I don’t know how a zip works, no, not a clue.
Is it screws or something?
I don’t get how the sides connect, is it magnets?
Or some tiny little babies just holding it?
I create disease daily, it’s crazy
That I don’t know how a zip works.

Scientist: It’s just a series of interlocking teeth which interdigitate by a sliding mechanism-

But I’m pretty sure it’s magnets!

Now we know how a zip works, baby it’s true.
It’s tiny magnets running through it.
There’s a force in the teeth, and baby it’s magic
And it wraps around the whole of our planet
You can see it now plainly, but baby,
Just please don’t ask how a magnet works.
